rock scorpion You're fighting a rock scorpion

As you're traipsing through the desert, you see a rock. But it isn't a rock -- it's a rock scorpion, the biggest, baddest, and most muscular of all scorpions. It is known for arching one eyebrow before it attacks, and secretes a natural oil so it's always glistening and shiny. If you're not careful, it'll cut you in half in a very, very unpleasant way.

Hit Message(s):

It impales your <arse> with its venomous tail. Oof! Argh! Oof! Eek! Oof!

It pinches your <arse> with one vicious claw. It's not even the perfect time of year to get pinched. Oof! Ouch! Argh! Oof! Oof!

Critical Hit Message:

not known

Miss Message(s):

It tries to sting you with its stinger, but you tell it not to stand so close to you.

It tries to impale you with its venomous tail, but you dodge.

It tries to pinch you with its claws, but you remind it that you're not asleep.

It tries to trample you, but can't tell if it has eight legs or six.

It whips its tail around in tight little circles, and the wind starts to change. The wind of change whistles around you in an oddly soothing fashion. No one like you is going to be hurt by them.

Fumble Message:

The Rock played the part of the Scorpion King in The Mummy Trilogy, and yes, he arched his eyebrow.

The description of the scorpion in the first sentence is a reference to the song "Rock Lobster" by the B-52's
