Rabid dogfish

rabid dogfish

You are fighting a rabid dogfish.

This is a dogfish that has been infected with rabies, also known as hydrophobia. You wonder how it's even possible for an ocean-dweller to be hydrophobic.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

• The dogfish frightens a catfish, which runs and hides in a small hole, scaring out a ratfish, which scampers away and runs right up your leg. You try to hit the ratfish with your weapon, but hit yourself instead.
• Its bark is worse than its bite, but it can't bark, so it settles for biting you.
• It nibbles on your arm, which doesn't really hurt much. The series of anti-rabies shots that follow is horribly painful, though.

It hits you for X damage.

Critical hit message:

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

Miss messages:

• Right before it attacks, a large worm on a hook drifts between you and the dogfish. It bites at the hook and gets pulled away for a minute before breaking free.
• You distract it by putting socks on your hands and pantomiming scenes from 'A Wish Called Fonda.' Er, 'A Fish Called Wanda.' (Stinkin' Mind Bender flashbacks.)
• It nibbles on your arm, but it's only a scratch. Your super powers keep you from contracting rabies.

Fumble messages:

Your foe fumbles! It takes X damage.

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