View source for Knob Goblin Very Mad Scientist

{{battle
|text=This is one of the Maddest of the Mad Scientists of Cobb's Knob. He's madder than a Hatter. Well, madder than a regular Hatter, but slightly less mad than a Mad Hatter.
|hit=He takes off his monocle and gives you a sound monocle-whipping with it. {{ouch|4}}

He lets loose a passel of vicious, mutated, carnivorous chickens, who peck your {{part}} to tatters. {{ouch|6}}

He hits you with plastic tubes and pots and pans. Man, what kind of weird science uses all that stuff? {{ouch|5}}

He hits you with a concentrated blast of SCIENCE! You temporarily go blind. {{ouch|4}}
|miss=He tries to monocle-whip you with his monocle, but fails. If only he had one more ocle.

He charges at you, but you say "Mad? We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad..." and continue until he falls asleep.

He starts to attack, but suddenly stops. From your heart and from your hand, you don't understand his intentions.

He tries to blind you with science, but you dodge like poetry in motion.
|critical=He produces a voodoo doll and chants, then hits you with magic and technology. You're not sure if the attack is real, but it sure hurts. {{ouch|4}}
|fumble=He starts dancing close to you. You can smell the chemicals. Fortunately, all those vapors start blinding him, and he has to sit down and rub his eyes for a while.
|special=He pulls out a bottle of seltzer, hits you on the head with it, then sprays it in your face. You wince, gag, and sputter, but manage to swallow some of the seltzer in the process. {{ouch|3}}
