You're fighting
a completely different spiderIn the Sleazy Back Alley, you are attacked by a completely different spider than the big creepy spider that you may or may not have already been attacked by. Yikes! Step on Spider!
Hit Message(s):
It does whatever a spider can, which in this case includes sinking its fangs into your <foot>. Argh! Ouch!
It does whatever a spider can, including encasing you in gooey, acidic webbing. Ouch! Ouch! Ugh!
It sinks its venomy fangs into your tender foot. Fangs a lot, dude. Argh!
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. Argh!
Miss Message(s):
It starts to sink its fangs into your <foot>, but some dude with eight arms shows up and stops it.
It gets all frustrated at trying to balance being a spider with a girlfriend and a career, and its webslingers quit working.
It tries to spear you with a venemous mandible, but you're immune to dactyl-based damage (look it up, I'm not your damn 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.

Notes
- A successful attack from this monster has a chance of poisoning you:
You are poisoned by the attack...
