Fisherfish
From TheKolWiki
 You're fighting a fisherfishYou're not being presented with much of a choice, here -- looks like you're going to have to go with the fish.
While you may have heard of anglerfish, they're actually not the most effective at what they do -- this fish is familiar with angling, flyfishing, and even such exotic methods as trout tickling and fishing with dynamite. And now it's fishing for the most dangerous catch of all -- you.

Notes
References
- The first line about not having much of a choice refers to a way to interpret the fisherfish's name: "fish or fish".
- The name comes from anglerfish, an order of fish that uses an esca to lure prey towards it. "Angler" is a synonym for "fisher" -- a reference itself to the mode of predation of an anglerfish.
- The line about "most dangerous catch" is a reference to the story "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell.
- TMJ, mentioned in the third miss message, is a reference to the temporomandibular joint, the joint for the jaw. TMJ is usually used by laymen to describe any sort of disorder with the joint (such as lockjaw or tetanus).
