Trophyfish
From TheKolWiki
 You're fighting a trophyfishThe Greater Loathingian Trophyfish has long been a great source of puzzlement for marine biologists -- what, they ask, is the evolutionary advantage of looking like something a competitive fisherman would want to catch, stuff, and put on his shelf?
Once it became clear that the fish's primary prey is, in fact, competitive fishermen, things became much clearer.
Hit Message(s):
The trophyfish demonstrates one of its award-winning feeding frenzies. Ugh! Ow! Oof!
The trophyfish violently mauls your <neck>. Man, why couldn't it have been a brass plaquefish instead? Oof! Ouch! Argh!
The trophyfish attacks you, tearing large chunks out of your <neck>. You hold up a little card that says "10". Argh! Oof! Oof!
Critical Hit Message:
Oh hey, guess what? This fish can fit your entire head in its mouth! Neat!
Ooh! Eek! Ugh! Eek! Oof! Ouch! Ow! Eek! Ugh! Eek!
Miss Message(s):
The trophyfish attack you, but misses. You hold up a little card that says "2".
The trophyfish pauses for a moment to polish itself.
The trophyfish's jaws clang shut, narrowly missing you. Congratulations!
The trophyfish starts to attack you, but you tell it sternly, "Winners don't use drugs." It gets confused.
Fumble Message:
In its fury, the trophyfish hallucinates a tiny golden bowler, and gets distracted.
Found in The Brinier Deepers after asking Grandpa about "trophyfish".
Notes
- Defeating this monster unlocks the The One That Didn't Get Away trophy.
- Once defeated, this monster will not appear in this area any longer until you ascend again.
- A successful attack by this monster has a chance to poison you:
- You are poisoned by the attack...
- The trophyfish is immune to stunning attacks that last for multiple rounds. Stuns that last for a single round, such as that from a gob of wet hair, functionally normally.
- This monster has a special form of scaling damage reduction against all types of damage. First, a 25% reduction is applied to the base damage of any attack. If the remaining damage is no more than 500, then no further reduction is applied. Otherwise, the amount of damage done by a base damage of x (before the 25% reduction) is 500+floor((ceiling(0.75*x)-500)^0.80).
- The simplest way to defeat the trophyfish is to funksling a pufferfish spine and a gob of wet hair on the first round, and then just use a gob of wet hair every round until it dies from the poison. You can wear a bezoar ring to protect you from its poison if you're concerned about that (although the poison makes no difference for this strategy, it's all about surviving the first hit or two).
- This monster cannot be tracked or puttied.
- The fumble message referring to the bowler is about another trophy gained through a "text adventure" scenario.
