Hit messages:

It hits you with it's sonic drill. Which totally sounds like a sci-fi thing, but is really actually just a thing. (sonic) damage

Miss messages:

It briefly catches you with its sonic drill, but you're able to escape before you get any bad vibrations.
Sixteen tons and what does it get? A ceiling collapse, which you're able to dodge, leaving the machinery temporarily pinned.
It tries to mine you, but gets distracted by a cubic diamond (not to be mistaken for cubic zirconia, which wouldn't be worth much, or a cubicle diamond, which is the only substance harder than asking your boss for a raise).
