Orwhal

You are fighting the Orwhal.

You catch up with the Orwhal as she stomps her way across Twilight. Her inexplicably scaly feet crush buildings as though she were human-sized and they were made out of foam... You know, as a simile.

Somebody's out in force helping, at least if the circling helicopters are any indication.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

• She swats down a circling helicopter. It lands near you and explodes. (fire) damage
• She stumbles into a building near you. Judging by the explosion, either there was a gas main there or things have started exploding for no reason... continued exploding for no reason. (fire) damage
• She tears apart a small building. Rubble rains down on you.

She hits you for X damage.

Critical hit message:

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

Miss messages:

• She swats at a circling helicopter, but it dodges. Woo! Go helicopter!
• She stumbles into a building near you, but it was scheduled for demolition anyway.
• She tears apart a small building. Rubble rains down on you but it's strangely light.

Fumble messages:

Your foe fumbles! She takes X damage.

The orwhal collapses in her tracks. The citizens of Twilight gather around to cheer!

Notes

• When fighting while flying or aboard a chopper, the image is replaced by:

• When fighting this foe there is a couple special skills you can access from your item use drop down menu. The one that appears first is Get in a chopper!, using it you get:

You wave down one of the choppers floating around the Orwhal, pelting her (largely ineffectually) with missiles. They agree to give you a lift.

If you successfully got in the chopper, in the next round that skill is replaced by Grab the minigun, using it for the first time you get:

You grab the minigun (which, despite the name, turns out to be quite large) and shoot the Orwhal for X damage. She shakes her head in irritation.

The following times, you get:

You grab the minigun (which, despite the name, turns out to be quite large) and shoot the Orwhal for X damage. She continues to shake her head in irritation.
She really doesn't seem to like getting shot with a minigun. On the bright side, it also seems to be drawing her attention from everyone running around down below.

• One ultrataffy will drop for every player who used the Grab the minigun option at least once, with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 5.
• One of the Centry flight helmet, Centry minigun, and Centry propeller will always drop.
• Combat items that deal percentage damage are capped at 200 damage.
• Stunning is less effective and lasts half as long, with the message

Your opponent is too stunned to act, but is shaking it off faster than you expected.

• After the regular attack a status message is displayed, consisting in one of:

The orwhal continues her <pace> through Twilight, putting considerable distance between you.

The great beast stops her <pace> to roar in frustration and confusion.

A building topples between you and the Orwhal, but you jump over it in a single bound and follow the beast on her <pace>. (only if you can Super Jump but not Flying or aboard a chopper)

A building topples between you and the Orwhal, but (you fly/the chopper weaves) through the falling debris to follow the beast on her <pace>. (only if you can Fly or are aboard a chopper, respectively)

A building topples between you and the Orwhal blocking your path forward in a wall of fire and twisted metal. (ends combat if you're on foot)

The orwhal manages to outdistance you. (ends combat)

• Where <pace> is an indicator of the foe's remaining health which can be one of the following:

Stage 1: unconcerned stroll

Stage 2: stroll

Stage 3: hurried walk

Stage 4: jog

Stage 5: run

Stage 6: desperate race

Stage 7: unsteady walk

• Followed by a special attack message:

The orwhal turns towards you, flames coruscating from her horn and enveloping you. It's as scalding as this description is verbose, dealing you Y (fire) damage.

The orwhal seems too distracted by the choppers buzzing around her head to attack you directly. (no damage)

The orwhal levels her horn at you, shooting a single massive fireball in your direction. If the Y (fire) damage damage is any indication, you made it angry.

The orwhal swats out at you with her tail, dealing you X damage.

The orwhal tears a (conventiently empty) building out of the ground and throws it at you. You're not sure why it exploded when it hit you, but that X damage + Y (fire) damage is probably going to leave a mark.

The orwhal throws a complete (but thankfully empty) building at the helicopter you're riding. You go down in flames for X damage + Y (fire) damage. (removes you from the chopper)

The orwhal grabs a handful of circling helicopters and throws them at you. The choppers' missiles explode on impact, dealing you X damage + Y (fire) damage.
Well, they probably won't be giving you a lift any time soon. (removes the Get in a chopper! ability for the duration of the turn)
