 You're fighting a rock snake

Abruptly, the ground beneath your feet begins to shake. You look around for a desk to climb under, but before you can find one a strange three-foot-long snake-like creature, made entirely of rocks, erupts into view.

You briefly entertain the possibility of making friends with it, but you've been playing this game long enough to know that that isn't gonna happen. You ready your weapon.

Hit Message(s):

It chomps on your <neck> with its rocky little mouth. Ow! Ow!

It slaps you with its rocky tail. The horror! Ow! Oof!

Critical Hit Message:

It headbutts you with such force that you're knocked silly, unable to tell your <neck> from your <neck>. Ooh! Ooh!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to slap you with its rocky tail, but you rolly out of the way.

It tries to chomp on you with its rocky mouth, but gets distracted by a nearby flying squirrel.

Fumble Message:

It tries to headbutt you, but ends up collapsing in a very poorly-timed rockslide. (FUMBLE!)
