You might think of algae as the green slime that collects on the sides of your aquarium if you don't clean it properly. You might think of algae as a nutritional supplement that modern-day snake oil salesmen try to foist off on gullible suckers in capsule form. If you're a nerdy scientific type, you might think of algae as a large and diverse group of simple, typically autotrophic organisms, ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms.

None of that is important right now. What's important is what thisTemplate:Typo algae thinks of you as: A victim.

Hit Message(s):

It wraps around your throat and squeezes. You try to strangle it right back, but it doesn't breathe. Argh! Argh! Oof!

It extends a pseudopod and pseudostrangles you. The pain you feel is, unfortunately, quite genuine. Eek! Ouch! Argh!

It smacks you with a pseudopod. Oof! Ugh! Ooh!

Critical Hit Message:

It reminds you that, evolutionarily speaking, you two are related. You're so demoralized that you bang your head on a rock. Oof! Argh! Ow!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to slime you, but you charge up your proton pack. You know, that proton pack you have.

It extends a pseudopod, but you tell it to pseudo make you a sandwich.

It tries to throttle you, but you're already at full throttle.

It tries to smack you with a pseudopod, but doesn't have the backbone to follow through.

Fumble Message:

You make fun of it for not having leaves, roots, or thorns. It's too demoralized to attack this round. (FUMBLE!)


After Combat
You acquire an item: glob of green slime (? chance)*

Occurs at An Octopus's Garden.

Notes

  • The word "algae" is a plural, so most of the references to the algae are ungrammatical.

References

  • The miss message about making you a sandwich is most likely a reference to the xkcd comic entitled "Sandwich", which includes the line "Sudo make me a sandwich."
  • The miss message with the proton pack is a reference to Ghostbusters.
