 You're fighting a vengeful turtle spectre

This is a terrifying* ghost of a turtle that was viciously hunted, tortured, and killed for profit, sport, and/or soup. Now it haunts these dreary passageways, seeking to wreak its vengeance on the humans that murdered it.

*Well, not particularly, but you can tell it's really trying.

Hit Message(s):

It briefly phases out of the visible spectrum. You stumble over the invisible deceased turtle and bang your head on the wall.Argh!

It hurls itself at you. The ghost in the shell doesn't do any damage, but the shell knocks you over. Ow!

It spits a fireball at you. Hey, since when can they do that? Ooh! (hot damage)

It waddles up and unleashes the full fury of its wrath and vengeance upon you. Ow! Ugh!

It wails a mournful cry of agony and hatred. Man, have you ever heard a turtle wail? Even with regular alive ones it's crazy weird. Ooh! (spooky damage)

You stomp on it and it falls to pieces, but as soon as you turn your back it gets back up and bites you. Ouch!

Critical Hit Message:

It looks up at you pathetically, a tear rolling from one hollow eye-socket, and squeaks "...Why?" Your heart literally breaks. Yes, literally. Ouch!

Miss Message(s):

The ghost in the shell hurls itself at you, but passes right through you. Maybe it should have just used the shell.

It spits a fireball at you, but you leap over it.

It starts waddling over to you to attack. It'll get there eventually. Next round, maybe.

It whispers a mournful squeak of agony and hatred. It's cute, in a pathetic sort of way.

You stomp on it and it falls to pieces. Literally, not in a "starts sobbing uncontrollably" kind of way.

Fumble Message:

It looks up at you pathetically and mournfully. ...That's about it. (FUMBLE!)

Notes

References

• One miss message refers to the anime film and series Ghost in the Shell.
• The hit and miss messages about the fireball and the falling apart and reassembling are reference to Bowser (who had a projectile fire attack that was easy to dodge) and Dry Bones (who, when stomped on, reassembled after a short while) from the Mario series of games.
