 You're fighting a huge ghuolYou try to come up with something witty to say as you attack the huge ghuol, maybe something about biting off more than he can chew, but you can't really think of anything. Which is probably just as well, considering that ghuols don't speak English.
You settle for a good old-fashioned "Heeeaaaaargh!" as you charge foward, preparing to lay a righteous smack down on his rotten-flesh-smelling ass.

References
- One of the miss messages contains a reference to the David Bowie song, "The Man Who Sold The World": "I gazed a gazely stare / at all the millions here"; and also a reference to a quote from the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche: "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
- The monster description is very likely a reference to a line in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie: "That is, without a doubt, the best pirate I've ever seen."
