outer one

You are fighting an outer one.

This is a strange, fungoid creature that looks something like a giant bug with a colorful, glowing head and small ragged wings on what can only be considered its back. That's all academic considering the fact that it comes right at you wielding some kind of scalpel.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

• It slashes at you with its bug-like claws. The slices they leave in your skin really bug you.

Miss messages:
