You are fighting a nightgaunt.
A black, leathery, humanoid creature, with huge wings, a barbed tail, and a blank space where you would expect its face to be. It looks like something out of a nightmare and it swoops down at you, claws extended.
Your opponent attacks ...
Hit messages:
- It grabs you firmly, giving you an up-close look at its featureless face. Trust me, it's really creepy. Well, you've probably seen the Matrix, so it's like that, but with less face.
- Special Attack: The nightgaunt's attack leaves you mentally shaken. You acquire an effect: distracted. (Added for 30 minutes.)
- It swipes at you with its claws, gouging and cutting you. That's got to be marginally better than being coughed and gutted.
- It holds you tight and lashes you with its barbed tail. The "one to grow on" at the end smarts the most.
it hits you for X damage.
Critical hit message:
Your opponent has a critical hit! it hits you for X damage.
Miss messages:
- It grabs you firmly, giving you an up-close look at its featureless face. It's a little creepy, but you've seen worse, like "the man with no name" or "the bathroom stall with no door."
- It swipes at you with its claws, but it recently had them trimmed, so it doesn't hurt too much.
- It holds you tight and lashes you with its tail, but it really just tickles. Tee-hee.
