Combat Messages

• Regular message(s):
  • <name> flaps/flops between you and your opponent, absorbing the brunt of their attack. Lint flies everywhere.
  • <name> launches itself at your opponent, and gets tangled around its face (or face-analogue,) preventing it from attacking.

• Vs. your Shadow:
  • <name> flaps/flops in front of you and attempts to block your shadow's attack, but your shadow quickly manifests an origami-crane-shaped hole in its abdomen, which <name> falls right through. Tough luck, <name>.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

<name> looks at you with its Tam O'Shanter cocked jauntily to one side. If it had eyes, maybe it would wink.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

<name> floppily flaps its way around the maypole. Or flappily flops, perhaps.

• With wax lips equipped:

<name> grins at you with its wax lips, and flaps its wings listlessly.

Arena Messages

• When entered in an Obstacle Course:

<name> isn't very good at either flying or walking, so an obstacle course is maybe not the best choice of event for it.

Notes

• Became available on November 8, 2006.
• Loses experience after blocking an attack. How much experience is not known.
