stuffed moose head You're fighting a stuffed moose head

You walk underneath a giant spooky stuffed moose head. It's covered in dust and has cobwebs all over its antlers. You stare for a moment, wondering if you're out of your mind or if you saw its nostril twitch a little bit.

Then it rolls its eyes and speaks to you: "What are you looking at, numbskull? I've got my mind set on you, and you'll be dead by dawn! Hahahahaha!" Then it somehow rips free of its mounting plaque and flies toward you, antlers at the ready.

Hit Message(s):

It bites you with its big square teeth. Ouch! Ouch!

It bonks you with its giant antlers, almost knocking you over. Ouch! Ooh!

It cackles insanely at you until your mind starts to slip. Oof! Ooh! (spooky damage)

It spears you with an antler. Naughty moose. Ow! Oof!

It wafts a dust cloud at you until you sneeze yourself silly. Ouch! Ouch!

You hit it on the head. Nooo, it hits YOU on the head! Naughty moose! Argh! Oof!

Critical Hit Message:

It opens its moose mouth wide, and a small army of taxidermied woodchucks come pouring out of it, all with evil red light glowing in their eyes and blood stains on their fangs. it's pretty terrifying. Argh! Ow! (spooky damage)

Miss Message(s):

It cackles at you, but you cackle right backle.

It tries to bite you, but you slap it aside.

It tries to bonk you with its giant antlers, but you dodge.

It tries to hit you on the head, but isn't naughty enough to manage it.

It tries to spear you with an antler, but you dodge.

It wafts dust motes at you, but you smite the motes until they're smote. Er, smitten?

Fumble Message:

You ask it why, if the plural of goose is "geese," the plural of moose isn't "meese." It has to stop and ponder the question for a few minutes. (FUMBLE!)

  • "I've got my mind set on you" is a reference to the song Got My Mind Set on You, and specifically to the music video for George Harrison's version of the song, in which a stuffed moose head mounted on the wall is among the objects that begin moving in rhythm with the music.
  • "Dead by dawn" is a reference to the 1987 Sam Raimi horror film Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn, in which a large stuffed moose head mounted on the wall of a cabin laughs evilly at the protagonist while a demon locked in the cellar repeatedly chants the phrase "Dead by dawn!" at him.
