ghostly tyrannosaurus

You are fighting a ghostly tyrannosaurus.

As a rule, the older a ghost is, the more dangerous you can expect it to be. And it goes without saying you don't tangle with a tyrannosaurus rex. That's just obvious.

So, it stands to reason that a ghost tyrannosaurus would be the most dangerous thing ever. A villain wearing a T. rex bedspread is substantially less dangerous, but that's still pretty dangerous.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

• Have you ever wondered what a predatory roar and a mournful wail sound like at the same time? Well, now you know. Sort of like a jet taking off, if you're curious. (sonic) damage
• The tyrannosaurus swallows you whole! Thankfully, it's also a ghost, so you just fall out covered in ectoplasm. (ice) damage
• The T. rex runs you over like a freight train, assuming a freight train has two giant clawed feet and weighs in at something close to seven tons. Which, when I run the world, they will.

She hits you for X damage.

Critical hit message:

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

Miss messages:

• Have you ever wondered what a predatory roar and a mournful wail sound like at the same time? Well, too bad, the lizard king isn't here to entertain you.
• The tyrannosaurus bites at you, but you ain't afraid of no ghost. Which is to say that you're rightly terrified of the ghost and manage to dodge. Good job.
• The T. rex tries to run you over, but the cup of water early warning system you've been carrying around for years finally pays off!
