spelunking astronaut You're fighting a spelunking astronaut

This guy looks really, really lost. He's wearing a space suit and carrying some kind of high-tech air-gun, but he's underground rather than in outer space. Looks like he should have taken that left turn at Rigel Seven.

Despite what you might think, 'spelunking astronaut' really isn't that great of a band name. It's more likely to turn up as a slang term for some disgusting sex act.

Hit Message(s):

not known

Critical Hit Message:

Okay, bear with me. A giant red orb wearing a diving mask lumbers into the tunnel. The astronaut pumps air into it until it explodes, showering you with icky, pulpy bits as well as gravel and various shrapnel. Trust me, it just gets weirder from there. Eek! Eek! Eek!

Miss Message(s):

He tries to inflate you, but you're not fated to be inflated.

He tunnels underneath you. You yawn and wait for him to re-surface.

He tunnels above you, but you dodge the rocks he dislodges.

He tries to inflate you, but your ego is already inflated to maximum capacity.

Okay, bear with me. He starts to attack you, but is stopped by a giant red sphere wearing a diving mask and snorkel. He has to deal with that monster before he can attack you, and you'll be mentally dealing with it for a while, too.

Fumble Message:

After Combat

Occurs at Mt. Molehill.

  • This monster is based on the protagonist from the video game Dig Dug. The player character in Dig Dug tunnels through the ground fighting monsters, one variety of which does indeed look like red spheres with diving masks. The monsters can be destroyed by inflating them until they explode, or by dislodging rocks with which to crush them.
