 You're fighting a Neptune flytrap

Flytraps that live above the water are named after Venus, the god of love, because nothing says lovin' like a bunch of dead flies. Flytraps below the water are named after Neptune, the mighty ruler of the sea, because nothing says mighty like a bunch of dead flies.

Wait a minute. How do you fly under the sea? Shouldn't it be a swimtrap? It must be awfully hungry -- no wonder it's about to chew you a new one.

Hit Message(s):

It snaps shut around your <eye>. Yeowch! Ooh! Ow! Ooh! Oof! Ouch! Ow! Ow! Ugh! Ooh! Ugh!

It wraps around your throat and squeezes. You try to strangle it right back, but it doesn't breathe. Oof! Ow! Oof! Ouch! Ooh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Ugh! Eek!

It spits a pellet of undigested fish bits at you. Ew! Ouch! Ouch! Argh! Ow! Eek! Ow! Ooh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! (sleaze damage)

Critical Hit Message:

It snaps its jaws shut around your head and chews thoughtfully. Since it only has vestigial teeth, you have plenty of time to ponder how much it hurts.

Miss Message(s):

It tries to whip you with a tentacle, but you're not down with tentacle love.

It snaps at you, but you snap back.

It spits a pellet of undigested fish bits at you, but you dodge.

It tries to scratch you with a leaf, but you dodge like Eric's son.

Fumble Message:

It waves its tentacles and demands that you feed it. You decline to do so, even after an elaborate musical number. (FUMBLE!)
