Arena Message

• When entered in a scavenger hunt:

  Gila monsters suck at scavenger hunts because their vision is based on movement. You know, like tyrannosaurs and prostitutes.

Notes

• The multiplier for the restore range and combat damage is equal to 1.30 –(0.15*(grimace darkness)).
  • Note that this multiplier is applied after you calculate the damage or restore range from the familiar's weight, not to the weight itself. This multiplier is in addition to the Gila Monster dealing damage like a lime at twice the weight.
• If the gila monster has bitten an opponent, in subsequent rounds the opponent will suffer additional damage, with the message

  Your opponent writhes as he takes X damage from the poison.

  • X is initially 80% of the damage dealt by the poisoning attack, rounded down. This damage is then halved (rounded down) in subsequent rounds, until the poison no longer deals damage.

References

• The gila monster's weakness is a clear reference to Michael Crichton's work Jurassic Park, citing the fact that tyrannosaurs base their vision on movement.
• The prostitute's vision is a reference to a similar scene in Family Guy, which is a double reference to the original work of Jurassic Park.
• The maypole message plays on Bobby "Boris" Picket's novelty song Monster Mash.
• The first line of the haiku is an obvious reference to the term "lounge lizards", referring to tacky lounge musicians.
