tapdancing skeleton You're fighting a tapdancing skeleton

On the dance floor in the Haunted Ballroom, you encounter a skeleton in tap shoes and a tophat. He clickety-clacks toward you, and before you can figure out whether the clacking is coming from his shoes or his bones, you're locked in combat.

Hit Message(s):

In this particular song, it turns out the fist bone's connected to your face. Oof! Oof! Oof! Ouch! Oof!

He rolls his tophat down his arm, catches it by the brim, and slings it at you like Odd Job, hitting you in the <throat>. Y'know, like that one time somebody threw Odd Job at your <throat>. Ouch! Oof! Ouch! Ouch! Ooh!

He grabs a nearby lamppost, swings around it, and hits you in the <throat> with his cane. Why is there a lamppost in this ballroom? Ooh! Ow! Ugh! Ugh! Ooh!

Critical Hit Message:

He knocks you to the floor, then does a tapdance solo all the way from your <throat> to your <throat>. It's as painful as it is humiliating. Oof! Eek! Eek! Ugh! Eek!

Miss Message(s):

He tries to poke you in the eye with a pointy finger, but you hold your hand up vertically and block the poke. Nyuk nyuk nyuk.

He steps toward you, poised to strike, but you knock his hat off and his feathers get all ruffled. His figurative feathers. Not his real feathers.

He tries to knock you upside the head with his cane, but you nimbly dance out of the way.

Fumble Message:

He dances toward you, but his toe gets caught on a loose board on the dance floor and he falls flat on his face. It's ungraceful. You might even say it's disgraceful.
