 You're fighting a mutant saguaro

This looks like some kind of desert-based Ent, but it's actually just a saguaro that's been mutated from prolonged exposure to Grimacite radiation. Some sort of vaguely glowing venom seems to drip from its spines.

You know, I've always thought, "cacti are jerks, but at least they're not ambulatory. I mean, you have to fall on them to get hurt by them." Just goes to show that the universe hates me.

Hit Message(s):

It picks up a prickly pear and lobs it at you, smacking you upside the head. Ooh! Oof! Ow! Argh! Oof! Oof!

It spikes you in the <shoulder>. You feel vaguely like the punch at a prom.Eek! Ouch! Argh! Argh! Ooh! Ouch!

It stomps on you with a spiky foot. Thank goodness it wasn't a spiky yard. Oof! Argh! Ow! Ooh! Ugh! Ow!

It grazes you with a dozen quills, quelling your attempts to dodge. Ugh! Argh! Eek! Eek! Argh! Eek!

It wheels its arms around and leans in every direction, then falls to the ground. It'd be hilarious, except it fell right on top of you. Ouch! Eek! Ouch! Ow! Oof! Oof!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to spike you in the <shoulder>, but you dodge.

It scratches you with its quills, but it manages to hit a spot that had been itching all day. Aaaahhh.

It lobs a prickly pear at you, but throws short. It should have picked a peppier prickly pear.

It tries to stomp on you with a spiky foot, but loses its balance and has to grow another arm to steady itself.

It wheels its arms around comically and falls heavily to the ground. See, that's why cacti shouldn't walk around.
