 You're fighting a mine crab

This hermit crab has made perhaps the worst residential decision in the history of the sea -- it has made a home inside an unexploded naval mine. Although I suppose if he needed his house to be swept, cubicle workers all over the world would be more than willing to help him.

Anyway. You're in an extremely delicate situation here. Try not to make any sudden movements, eh?

Hit Message(s):

It bounces its mine against you. It hurts, but it could have been a lot worse. Ow! Oof! Eek! Eek! Eek! Ugh! Ow! Ooh! Ooh! Ow!

It pinches you in the <knee>. Well, now at least you know you're not dreaming. Argh! Argh! Eek! Oof! Ow! Ouch! Argh! Ooh!

It says, "hey...hey..." and karate-chops you with a claw Oof! Ow! Ow! Eek! Eek! Ooh! Ooh!

It stomps on your foot with its spiny leg. This little piggy got shish-kabobed. Oof! Argh! Ooh! Ow! Ooh! Argh! Ooh! Eek!
