- KAPOW!
- KERBLAM!
- POW!

- ZOT!
The Monster hits you
- Argh!
- Eek!
- Oof!
- Ooh!
- Ouch!
- Ow!

Notes
- The number of sound effects is equal to the square root of the base damage inflicted, rounded up, to a maximum of 10.
- If the clown hammer is equipped, the only sound effect used will be SQUEAK!
- If Maxwell's Silver Hammer is equipped, the only sound effect used will be BANG!
- Creatures that deal cold damage will have their attack messages appended with Brrrrrrrrr. The same formula for the number of sound effects is used, with additional "rr"s being added instead.
- If you have the Cybernetic Muscles effect, the sounds effect will be replaced by ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.
References
- Most of the sound effects are a reference to the 1960 Batman TV series, where the fight scenes were accompanied with comic-style captions, such as "WHAM!" and "POW!," that would appear on screen in time with the action.
- "BARF!" may be a reference to River City Ransom for the NES, where your enemies would sometimes yell "BARF!" when defeated.
- "SOCKO!" may be a reference to Mick Foley's wrestling character Mankind, where he used a sock he called "Socko" on his opponents.
- "ZOT!" may be a reference to the Scott McCloud comic of the same name. It may also be a reference to the Internet Oracle.
