Pooltergeist

From TheKolWiki

You're fighting a pooltergeist

This is a vaguely humanoid figure made up of a cloud of spooky levitating pool balls. You spend a few seconds trying to figure out the best place to kick it, but to no avail. It hovers toward you, eerily clicking and clacking.

References

• A slang term for testicles is "balls", which can be a very painful part of the body to have kicked. This apparition is nothing but balls, hence the joke about figuring out the best place to kick it.
• Pooltergeist is also a play on poltergeist, a ghost which manifests itself by moving around inanimate objects - like pool balls, for instance.
• "Fore!" is a warning called out in golf when a ball is hit dangerously close to another golfer.
• The color of the 1-ball in a traditional billiards set is yellow, which is also slang for being cowardly. Hence the miss message.
• The odd combination in the critical hit message is the sequence of the odd numbered balls in pool.
