This gremlin appears to have gone through some sort of genetic mutation that dramatically increased its intelligence. Sadly, the mutation did nothing for its looks -- it's still a slimy, mottled-green thing with a mouthful of fangs. It looks up at you, croaks "I...wanna...." and then begins speaking in a perfectly enunciated, mellifluous baritone. "I want to talk about what's going on in this junkyard," it says. "It seems that you are intent on engaging in some sort of altercation with me. While I am normally a pacifist, intellectual creature, I must confess that on some level I would really like to eviscerate, decapitate, and quite possibly defenestrate you."

Hit Message(s):

He tries to harm you with words, but when that doesn't work he resorts to sticks and stones, which work as advertised. Oof! Argh!

His witty verbal barbs don't hurt you, but the serrated barbs on his claws certainly do. Eek! Ugh! Oof! Ooh!

He formulates a working theory of transmutation of matter, and uses that information to chomp on your eye, head, and throat simultaneously. Ow! Argh! Oof! Ouch!

He delivers a string of pithy, withering, witty, and expertly-crafted insults. Ow! Your feelings! Argh! Argh! Ow! Ugh!

Non-quest Identifying Message He uses the random junk around him to make an automatic eyeball-peeler, then uses it on you. Gah! Aiee! Ow! Ooh! Ugh! Oof!

Miss Message(s):

%%
