ancient egg mass

You are fighting the ancient egg mass.

A massive tadpole wriggles inside each spherical egg of this titanic mass. Really, you're not sure if it's a great idea to let them out... they look hungry.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

One of the eggs falls off and rolls you over.
A frigid current grips you. I blame the smeet. X (ice) damage
The eggs just sit there... it kind of freaks you out. X (psychic) damage

They hit you for X damage.

Critical hit message:

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

Miss messages:

The eggs roll around a bit, but it doesn't seem very dangerous.
A cool current slips past you.
The eggs just sit there.

Fumble messages:

Your foe fumbles! They takes X damage.

Victory! You beat up your foe and win the combat!

You gain no experience.

Known resistances/weaknesses

Immune to ice damage.
50% weak to fire damage.

Locations

Eggy Weggs?

Notes

Since this foe isn't designed to be beaten, and therefore yields no experience.
If you do 100 or more damage, you pop an egg with the following message:

One of the eggs pops open, revealing a hungry, hungry tadpole. Normally, this would only be concerning to algae, but this particular tadpole is about your size... and clearly carnivorous.

Each round there is a status message that depends on how many eggs you've popped so far, N being the number of eggs popped at the start of the round:

The tadpole is hungry like the wolf, so it circles you like the wolf and is ready to take a bite out of you like the wolf. (0 or 1 egg popped)

The tadpoles swim around you, taking experimental nibbles out of you for [100 * (N^2 + N) / 2] damage. (2 or more eggs popped)

Starting at the 4th egg popped, you also get the line:

The egg mass is getting smaller by the minute. Maybe the future can be changed after all...

Each egg popped creates a voracious tadpole. After either running away or being defeated you have to defeat all the tadpoles in order to find the Eggy Weggs? non-combat again.

References

The message when doing 100 or more damage refers to the game Hungry Hungry Hippos.
The first tadpole attack message refers to the song "Hungry Like the Wolf".
