Hit messages:

The crawler bot lifts into the air and begins to spin rapidly. It begins to glow, and then a pulse of charged air zaps everything nearby. Yeah, that includes you. (electric) damage
Like something out of the movie Alien the crawler leaps and attaches itself to your face. That it opts to simply run a few thousand volts through your face instead of implanting a living critter in your chest comes as something of a relief. (electric) damage
The crawler bot reads you some headlines from breaking movie star scandals. Shocking! (electric) damage
