The normal Gila creature is already called a monster, so an even bigger, meaner, mutated version has got to be even more monstrous, right? Right.

Hit messages:

• The monstrosity licks you. Turns out them calling the its tongue "electric blue" wasn't just a turn of phrase. damage + (electric) damage
• In addition to the monstrosity's mouth being far larger, it's also more venomous. You may want to seek medical attention. damage + (acid) damage
• The Gila monstrosity demonstrates the proportionate strength of a Gila monster. Which is cool, except when it demonstrates by thrashing you with its tail.

It hits you for X damage.

Your opponent has a critical hit! It hits you for X damage.

Miss messages:

• It turns out them calling the monstrosity's tongue "electric blue" wasn't just a turn of phrase. But it's also the monstrosity's only physical attribute that can be compared to lightning, so you dodge easily.
• In addition to the monstrosity's mouth being far larger, its breath is also worse. Seriously, it's like they crossed a Gila monster with a Komodo dragon and then fed that to the Gila monstrosity.
• The Gila monstrosity demonstrates the proportionate speed of a Gila monster. Which is good, because otherwise it might have hit you with that massive tail.
