 You're fighting a plaque of locusts

This is a big plaque, embossed with pictures of notable locusts throughout history. It's surprisingly animated for a plaque, and looks pretty angry.

Hit Message(s):

It hovers in front of you, forcing you to read about locust history. You fall asleep and hit your head on a rock. Ouch! Eek! Ouch! Ugh!

It typos you square in the <skull>. Ow! Ow! Eek! Ow!

Critical Hit Message:

The many locusts embossed on the plaque come to life and swarm you, nibbling away your flesh like so many stalks of fleshy wheat.

Miss Message(s):

It tries to bore you with locust history, but you tune it out.

It tries to crush you, but you don't wanna be crushed (or buried in fear).

It tries to beat you with its sharp edges, but you sharply edge away from it.

It tries to typo you in the <skull>, but you dodge.

References

• "Plaque" is a common misspelling of "plague", as confirmed by the "It typos you in the <part>" attack messages.
• "It tries to crush you, but you don't wanna be crushed (or buried in fear)" may be a reference to "Rappers We Crush" by MC Frontalot featuring KOMPRESSOR, where part of the lyrics go "I don't wanna be crushed, buried in fear, or left for töt".
