|text=This is a biomechanical cyborg (wait, is that redundant?) with gigantic hands, all the better to place around your neck and throttle you with. Er, all the better with which to place around your neck and throttle you. Or something.
|hit=It puts its huge hand around your entire head and squeezes. Now you know what a lemon feels like. {{ouch|4}}

It smacks you across the face with one giant hand. Well, you shouldn't have tried to get fresh. {{ouch|4}}

It latches its gigantic hands around your windpipe and squeezes. You get all choked up.

|critical=It claps its hands around your neck and commences to strangling, completely unmoved by your strangled cries for help. When it's done, you're no stranger to strangling. 
{{ouch|4}}

|miss=It tries to squeeze your head like a lemon, but you distract it with a box of lemonheads.

It tries to choke you, but chokes.

You distract it with a quick giant-palm reading.

|fumble=You try to distract the strangler by doing a little dance. It's so delighted that it gives you a round of applause, which, given its hand size, completely wears it out for a while.}}

*"All the better to place around your neck and throttle you with" is a reference to the fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood; in which Little Red Riding Hood would say to the wolf "what big ears/eyes/teeth you have", and the wolf would reply "All the better to hear/see/eat you with."

*"Er, all the better with which to place around your neck and throttle you. Or something" is a reference to the fact that grammar dictates a sentence should not end with a preposition, in this case "with," even though doing so is sometimes the clearest way to structure a statement.
