Blur
From TheKolWiki
 You're fighting a blur
Try as you might, you can't seem to get your eyes to focus on this thing. It's vaguely anthropomorphic, but it looks like those T-shirts that try to convince you you're drunk. Or, y'know, like T-shirts look when you're drunk.
Hit Message(s):
It blurs you in the <giblets>. Eek! Ooh! Ugh!
It checks your head, like a jumbo jet. Like everything, it isn't easy. Ooh! Ow! Argh!
It pummels you. You feel like a chain store, practically floored. Ugh! Eek! Argh!
Critical Hit Message:
It charges you with a deafening "woo-hoo!" It pokes you with some pins and some needles, then it lies and it's easy. You're not particularly pleased to meet it. Oof! Ugh! Oof!
Miss Message(s):
It tries to blur you in the <giblets>, but misses.
It tries to check your <giblets> like a jumbo jet, but you dodge.
It tries to kick you and bore into you, but you refuse to be kicked around and bored.
Fumble Message:
It charges you with a deafening "woo-hoo!" but you lie down and easily dodge the attack. You feel pretty heavy metal for having avoided the assault.
Occurs at An Oasis.
