Cookie-baking Thing from Beyond Time
From TheKolWiki
 You're fighting a Cookie-baking Thing from Beyond Time
This is one of the primeval, endlessly malevolent, fiendishly intelligent old gods from before time and space as we know it existed. Currently, it's employed making cookies for Linnea's Crimbo takeover. I guess it's a good way to pass the time between driving mortals mad with one peek at your frightful visage.
Hit Message(s):
It buffets you with its unearthly wings. Looks like it wants to live and let die. Happy Crimbo! Ooh! Oof! Eek! Oof!
It wraps a tentacle around your throat and squeezes until your eyes bug out. Happy Crimbo! Ugh! Eek! Ow! Ow!
It gibbers madly at you. You feel your grip on sanity start to slip. Happy Crimbo! Ouch! Argh! Ouch! (spooky damage)
It whips you with its creepy tail. You can tell a creepy tale about it later. Happy Crimbo! Ugh! Eek! Ooh!
Critical Hit Message:
It whips you with its tail, buffets you with its wings, wraps a couple of tentacles around your head and squeezes, all the while stepping on your toes. Yeesh! Ouch! Ouch! Ooh!
Miss Message(s):
It gibbers madly at you, but you gibber sanely back.
It tries to buffet you with its wings, but you remain unbuffeted.
It tries to grab you with a tentacle, but you're not having any of that funny business.
It tries to whip you with its tail, but you distract it with a tale.
Fumble Message:
It stares at you, gibbering madly, its eyes boring deep into your soul, but you've been to enough comic book conventions that it hardly phases you.
Occurs at The Spooky Fright Factory.
References
- The monster is a reference to the god Cthulhu from H.P. Lovecraft's horror stories, which is commonly depicted as having a similar squid-like head.
- Its unearthly wings want to live and let die -- much like the rock band Wings, who recorded the theme song to Live and Let Die.
- As long as we're comparing visual examples, it also resembles the Mind flayer, a common Cthulhu-inspired monster; when they don't resemble a lower-case h, that is. Given the "primeval, endlessly malevolent, fiendishly intelligent old god" description, though, it's easier to simply point at Cthulhu.
- This thing also holds a lot of resemblance, more than visual to Ur, and Ur's followers, from the 8-bit theatre web-comic.
- This monster could also be a reference to the ancient god from "Hellboy", as well as the fact that the fumble message talks about comic book conventions, Hellboy was originally a comic.
- The picture also resembles Dr. Zoidberg from the TV series Futurama.
