Tomb rat king

From A KoL Wiki
tomb rat king You're fighting a tomb rat king

You hurl the disgusting mass of tails and filth at the rat. His tail gets tangled up in it, and he retreats into a nearby rat-hole. There is a sound of frantic scurrying and rustling behind the ancient walls of the pyramid, and a few moments later the rat emerges, having made some friends.

Hit Message(s):

It scratches you with several sets of claws. You feel a little claws-trophobic. Ow! Ouch! Argh! Ooh! Ow!

It bites you with a few of its mouths. You scream a few times with your singular mouth. Argh! Ouch! Ugh! Oof! Ugh!

It claws you in the face. You probably should have just loved big brother and gotten it over with. Ooh! Oof! Ow! Ow! Ouch!

Critical Hit Message:

A few of the rats trip you up, and several more swarm over you while you're down, biting and clawing and skeeving you out. Yick. Oof! Argh! Oof! Oof! Ooh!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to scratch you with some claws, but you're claws-trophobic.

It tries to bite you, but you say you're not hungry, so don't need to go out for a bite.

It tries to claw your face, but you tell it to claw your girlfriend's face instead, and decide you love big brother.

It tries to claw your face, but your face is untouchable. Screw you!

It tries to bite you, but can't decide which mouth to use.

Fumble Message:

It's too busy fighting amongst itself to attack this round. (FUMBLE!)
