Big creepy spider
From TheKolWiki
 You're fighting a big creepy spider
In the Sleazy Back Alley, you are attacked by a big creepy spider. He promises not to kill you, but you're not sure you believe him.
Hit Message(s):
It spiderbites you in the <groin>. Man, get rid of spider. Ugh!
It does whatever a spider can, which in this case includes sinking its fangs into your <groin>. Ow!
It encloses you in a web coccoon. You suffocate and come out feeling like an eighty-year-old who hangs out with Steve Guttenberg. Argh!
It spears you with a venemous fang. Fangs a lot. Eek!
Critical Hit Message:
It spins a web (any size) and catches you just like a fly. Look out, here comes that spider, man. You writhe around trying to free yourself, and eventually fall to the ground. Twenty feet to the ground. Ouch!
Miss Message(s):
It tries to spiderbite you, but you tell it that it's your hero, and it's flattered.
It does whatever a spider can, which includes tripping over six of its legs and falling down.
It encloses you in a coccoon, but Steve Guttenberg saves you.
It tries to spear you with a venemous mandible, but you're immune to dactyl-based damage (look it up, I'm not your search engine).
Fumble Message:
It spins a web to ensnare you, but gets scared midway through and ends up spooling all of its web fiber onto the ground. Someone should make a hilarious cartoon along those lines.
 Meat | You gain 4-7 Meat. (average: 5.2, stdev: 0.9)* |
Occurs at The Sleazy Back Alley.
