CRITICAL NOODLE! You conjure up a mass of sticky noodles to entangle your opponent.

Notes

Prevents your opponent from attacking you for 2-4 rounds of combat (or 3-5 with a Critical Noodle).
- There is a 50% chance for the stun to last 2 rounds.
- There is a 33.33% chance for the stun to last 3 rounds.
- There is a 16.67% chance for the stun to last 4 rounds.
- Critical Noodle extends the length of stun by 1 round, using the same rolls as above.
While in effect, each round of combat (including the first) will display the message:

Your opponent struggles against your entangling noodles, but to no avail.

Your opponent struggles free of your entangling noodles.

Unlike other items that stun, your opponent can attack in the same round as the "opponent gets free" message.
Furthermore, you have a 100% chance of successfully running away during any round your opponent is entangled, regardless of your initiative modifiers.
This skill can only be used once per fight (except against the Spaghetti Demon, the final form of the Pastamancer Nemesis).
The attack prevention effect can carry over from the first form of the Naughty Sorceress to the second, thereby preventing the second form from getting its "free" attack.
The Put Down Roots skill is an upside-down picture of this skill's icon.
When used by a Seal Clubber, the skill will delevel and act as a single-round stagger instead of a multi-round stun:
You conjure up a sloppy mass of sticky noodles to entangle your opponent, but you only manage to make a mess. Your opponent glares at you as he cleans it up.

Monster attack power reduced by 8-10

Monster defense reduced by 8-10

This skill used to delevel monster attack by (1 + Floor(ModdedMys/8)), capped at -6 atk (reached at 40 Mys) -- impeding the monster's attack (reducing its chance to hit and its hitting power) rather than directly preventing it, and with no effect on its defense. This was changed to the current effect on February 13, 2007.
Thrust-Smack and Lunging Thrust-Smack used to free your opponent from the noodles. As of July 9, 2007 this no longer occurs.
On September 26, 2013, the Seal Clubber skills were revamped, and Entangling Noodles stopped acting as a multi-round stun for Seal Clubbers. For the first day or so, Entangling Noodles when used by a Clubber used to increase monster attack and defense (with erroneous text saying that the attack and defense had been increased by negative amounts). This was fixed by September 28, 2013.
