You're fighting a spider gremlinWhat has eight hairy legs, giant venomous mandibles, fangs, claws, and slimy green skin?
Umm... that wasn't a riddle. I just wanted to know if you knew what's sneaking up behind you right now.
Though I guess the answer would be "a creature genetically engineered by scientists who decided combining the DNA of two malicious predators would be a really, really good idea."
Hit Message(s):
It tries to mate with you, then tries to decapitate you. You can't decide which is worse. Ugh! Eek! Ouch! Eek! (sleaze damage)
It shoots webbing all over your face. You choke and black out. Ow! Oof! Argh! Ow!
It bites you in the fibula with its mandibles. The pain is far from nebulous. Argh! Eek! Argh! Argh!
It spears you with all sixteen claws at the end of its eight legs. Gah!Ouch! Eek! Ugh! Oof!
It spins a web around you to hold you still, then tramples you with its eight legs while chewing on your leg with its mandibles. It promised not to kill you, but it didn't promise it wouldn't maim you. Ouch! Eek! Ugh! Ouch!
It whips out a pair of pliers and fastens them firmly on your foot. If only it'd tried to ply you with booze instead. Ouch! Eek! Eek! Argh!
