Hit messages:

• It wraps its tail around you and tosses you into a wall. All's wall that ends wall, they say. Oh, wait, they don't.
• It swoops down, putting its face-eating plan into effect with dramatic and messy results. LifeTime offers to make a movie about you, called "The Hero with No Face."
• It flaps its wings quickly, buffeting you with a blast of air. It's nowhere near as pleasant as the breakfast buffet at Denny's. (sonic) damage

References

• The first hit message refers to the idiom, originating from the name of William Shakespeare's play, All's Well That Ends Well.
• "The Hero with No Face" refers to Joseph Campbell's book The Hero with a Thousand Faces and to Clint Eastwood's character The Man with No Name.
• The company offering to make the movie is most likely Time–Life rather than Lifetime. Unless you are playing a female hero, in which case it is plausible as well.
