 You're fighting The Flange

This is the flange, a dangerous constellation situated near the wah-wah nebula. Well, that's where it's usually situated. Now it's situated all up in your grill, so you'd better get ready for a fight.

Hit Message(s):

It puts your round head into one of its square holes. Yup, that proverb was right on the money. Ugh! Oof! Eek! Ouch! Ow! Argh!

Critical Hit Message:

It's suddenly joined by a samoflange, a cog, a sprocket, and a spring. They form some kind of machine -- it's definitely not a machine of loving grace, given the way it thoroughly trounces you. Ow! Argh! Eek! Ow!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to force your hand into one of its apertures, but you refuse.

It tries to flange you in the <forehead>, but you dodge.

It tries to put your round head into one of its square holes, but of course it doesn't fit.

It tries to smack you with one of its stars, but you were just thinking about the flange, and thinking you should dodge.
