 You're fighting a bunch of drunken rats

These are a bunch of dirty rats who've been licking up the spilled booze that seeps through the floorboards of the tavern. They're as unsanitary and mean as they are inebriated, and they're pretty damn inebriated.

Hit Message(s):

Rats live on no evil star, but these evil rats bite your face. Ouch! Ugh! Oof!

One rat bites you while another one claws you. Great, now they're teaming up. Ow! Ugh! Argh!

One of the rats oozes something disgusting onto you. You wish someone'd put him in a sanitary zoo. Argh! Ouch! Ouch! (sleaze damage)

Critical Hit Message:

One rat trips you, and then the others swarm up over you and bite all of your extremities. It's extremely unpleasant. Argh! Oof! Ouch!

Miss Message(s):

Rats live on no evil star, and these rats fail to bite your face.

One rat vomits, while another one holds its tail back for it.

One of the rats oozes something at you, but he gets captured to be put in a sanitary zoo.

One rat trips over its own feet while another one sways and sings drunken taven songs.

Fumble Message:

All of the rats pass out, snoring and hiccuping and squeaking in their sleep. (FUMBLE!)

Notes

• This monster counts as a group (of size 5). It takes manifold damage from area-of-effect skills such as Wave of Sauce.

Reference

• The miss messages refer to the lines "Rats live on no evil star" and "Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo" from Weird Al Yankovic's "Bob" song, that, like all other lines in the same song, are palindromes.
