Venus mantrap You're fighting a Venus mantrap

Baby, if you ever wondered whatever became of the Venus flytrap, it got harvested and experimented upon until it grew big enough to swallow an entire man (or woman) whole.

Hit Message(s):

It smacks you with spine-tipped leaves. Ouch! Ooh! Ouch!

It spits corrosive enzymes at you, melting off the top layer of skin on your <face>. Oof! Ugh! Argh!

A smaller pod opens up and clamps shut on your foot, eating a few of your favorite toes. Ooh! Eek! Oof!

It chomps on your leg with its thorn-tipped teeth. Ow! Ouch! Ow!

It wraps a vine around your legs and yanks them out from under you. Eek! Ooh! Ow!

It wraps a vine around your neck and squeezes. Ouch! Argh! Ouch!

Critical Hit Message:

It opens wide, wraps you in vines, and pulls you into its maw. You kick and punch while being slowly digested, until it finally has enough abuse and spits you out, minus a few layers of skin.

Miss Message(s):

It stops to sing a song about how it's a big green mother from outer space.

It stops to sing a song about how if you feed it, it'll get you whatever you need.

It stops to sing a song about living on the bad side of town.

It stops to sing a song about somewhere that's green.

It stops to sing a song about a sadistic dentist.

It stops to do a little doo-wop number that tells a bit of its backstory.

Fumble Message:

It says, "feed me." You decline. It sings a big musical number about how hungry it is and how you should feed it, but you remember you should never feed the plants, because you saw the alternate ending on DVD. (FUMBLE!)
