Combat Messages

• Regular message:

  <name> latches onto him and slows him down...

• Enthroned in the Crown of Thrones:

  <Name> hurls itself from its throne at <him>, viciously bashing <him> with its shell for 11?-30 damage. Wow, turns out barrrnacles have a lot of pent-up rage.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

  <name> grips your slain foe's wallet tight in its tentacles and applies some suction.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

  <name> dances like a crustacean around the maypole.

• With wax lips equipped:

  <name> smiles almost as if he were a creature incapable of facial expressions who had some wax lips stuck on his shell.

Arena Messages

• When entered in an Ultimate Cage Match:

  Being completely immobile, <name> sucks at cage matches. Which is unsurprising, given that <name> sucks at pretty much everything.
