You're fighting a WeremooseThis is a weremoose, one of the most terrifying and Canadian of all the members of the lycanthrope family, eh?
Hit Message(s):
He beats you aboot the <giblets> and <giblets> with grisly francophonic efficiency. Ow! Ooh! Oof! Oof! Oof!
He pokes you in the <giblets> with this big, fierce antlers. Ya hoser. Ow! Ugh! Oof! Ooh! Ouch!
He gets underneath you and bucks you into a wall. Ow! Oof! Ooh! Ow! Ouch!
You hit him on the head. Wait, no, he hit you on the head. What a naughty moose. Eek! Argh! Ouch! Ooh! Argh!
He points his snout -- er, snoot -- at the full moon and brays a blood-chilling bray, then charges at you and pins you to the wall with his antlers. Yeooowch! Oof! Ooh! Argh! Ugh!
He tries to poke you with his antlers, but trips and falls on his snout. Er, snoot.
He tries to stomp on you, but you dodge his heavy boots. Bouts? Never mind.
He tries to buck you into a wall, but since he's Canadian, his buck isn't as powerful as other monsters.
He tries to hit you on the head, but isn't naughty enough to pull it off.
He starts to attack again, but whatever moon controls his moosecanthropy changes phases and he turns into a human. He quickly covers himself with his hands and edges off sideways. (FUMBLE!)
 | You gain 52−79 Meat (average: 66.0, stdev: 5.7)* |
| You gain 12 <substat>. |
Occurs at Menagerie Level 2.
