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. Ouch! Ooh! Ugh! Eek! (sleaze damage)
It shoots webbing all over your face. You choke and black out. Ow! Ouch! Argh! Oof!
It spears you with all sixteen claws at the end of its eight legs. Gah!Ugh! Oof! Oof! Ouch!
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! Oof! Ugh! Ow!
Quest Identifying Message
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. Argh! Eek! Ow! Ow!
Using molybdenum magnet on the correct message
You hold out the molybdenum magnet and the pliers is wrenched out of the gremlin's hand. It looks at you glumly, then slinks back off into the junkyard.
 | You acquire an item: molybdenum pliers |
You win the fight!
 | You gain 40−60 Meat |
 | You acquire an item: gremlin juice (3.2% chance)* |
| You gain 43 <substat>. |
Occurs at Near an Abandoned Refrigerator in The Junkyard
Notes
- Never misses.
- There are two different versions of this monster: one with the molybdenum tool (for Yossarian's quest) and one without.
References
- The first attack message is a play on the lyrics to 'Yer So Bad' by Tom Petty.
- As with erudite gremlin, vegetable gremlin, and batwinged gremlin, the character is based on one of the mutated gremlins in the 1990 film Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
- The combat message "It promised not to kill you" is a reference to the They Might Be Giants song, "Spider".
