Tan Gnat

From A KoL Wiki
Tan Gnat You're fighting a Tan Gnat

This is a gnat, which isn't remarkable, but it's deeply tanned, which is remarkable. I mean, how do you rub sunscreen on a gnat?

Hit Message(s):

It lands right on your face and makes itself at home. You swat at it and bop yourself in the nose. Ow! Ow!

It buzzes about you annoyingly. You try to swat it and smack yourself in the <skull>. Ouch! Argh!

It manages to land right in your eye. While trying to get it out, you poke yourself pretty hard. Oof! Oof!

Critical Hit Message:

It flies away and comes back with a swarm of gnats, some of whom are gnattily dressed. They swarm around you, making a general nuisance of themselves. You suck a few down your windpipe and start coughing until you get dizzy and fall down. Argh! Ooh! Ow!

Miss Message(s):

It lands right on your face, but doesn't have anything with which it can bite, suck, or scratch.

It buzzes around annoyingly, but can't do any real damage.

It buzzes around your eye, but you catch it in your eyelashes. Wow, I haven't seen a move like that in Æons.

It tries to rub tanning lotion on you, but the tiny gnat-sized bottle isn't big enough to covery ou[sic].

It buzzes around your navel, but you point out a gnat isn't a fruit fly and your navel is not a navel orange.

Fumble Message:

It summons a swarm of his gnat buddies, all of whom are as effective as just one of them is. Which is to say, not very at all. (FUMBLE!)
