 You're fighting a corpulent zobmie

This is a zobmie who appears to have eaten a little too much brains. Or a few too many brains, if that's your thing.

Hit Message(s):

It waddles over and munches greedily on your brainpan. And your skull. Ugh! Oof! (spooky damage)

It chomps you right in the <neck>. Then it realizes its mistake and chomps on your skull. Ugh! Ouch! (spooky damage)

It trips and falls down right on top of you. You feel a few ribs crack. Ugh! Argh! (spooky damage)

Critical Hit Message:

It jumps as high in the air as it can possibly jump (which is a good two feet) and lands squarely on your toes! As you yowl in pain, it eats a sizeable portion of your braaaaaains. But the toe thing is what really, really hurts. Ooh! Argh! (spooky damage)

Miss Message(s):

It tries to waddle over to you, but you're much faster than it is.

It tries to chomp on your skull, but gets winded and has to sit down.

It tries to belly-bounce you, but it's moving so slowly you easily dodge.

Fumble Message:

It stumbles toward you, then trips over its own two feet and falls on its oversized head. It rolls around trying to get up, and trying to attack you, but it can't make any headway. (FUMBLE!)

Notes

• A successful hit by this monster has a 50% chance of afflicting you with an effect:

  You acquire an effect: Half-Eaten Brain (duration: 5 Adventures)

• Shirt will not drop unless you have the Torso Awaregness skill.
  • It also appears to be conditional - yellow rays will not force this to drop.
• Regarding the hit message mentioning the mistake when the zobmie bites the wrong body part, it is possible for the "mistake" body part to also be the skull.

History

• Prior to the Pastamancer Revamp on November 14, 2013, it could drop paranormal ricotta when fought as a Pastamancer. The drop chance was never spaded, but it likely had a 5-15% drop chance.

References

• The description is a reference to how brains can be referred to as both a countable item and an uncountable item.
• The monster dropping cranberries is a reference to the band The Cranberries. They have a song called "Zombie".
• The miss message "It tries to belly-bounce you..." could be a reference to the song "Zombie Jamboree" by Rockapella. (The song includes the lines "Back to back, belly to belly, and I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone-dead already...")
