 You're fighting a gift-wrapping vampire

This vampire has taken a break from saahhhking blaaaaahd to wrap gifts for Linnea. If any teddy bears show up mysteriously drained of stuffing and with a thirst for felt, we'll all know who to blame.

Hit Message(s):

He transforms into a big, black dog, which makes you sweat and makes you groove. Happy Crimbo! Ooh! Eek! Ow! (spooky damage)

He transforms into a clammy mist. You get run over by a bunch of gorillas. Happy Crimbo! Ooh! Ooh! Eek!

He wraps you up in ribbon, then pulls the end real fast so you spin around and fall down. Happy Crimbo! Ooh! Oof! Argh!

He bites you on the neck and saaaahks your blaaaahd. Blech. Happy Crimbo! Argh! Ouch! Ouch!

Critical Hit Message:

He turns into a swarm of bats, each decked out with a festive bow. They then festively leave thousands of merry pinprick-sized wounds in your tender flesh. Happy Crimbo! Eek! Oof! Oof!

Miss Message(s):

He transforms into a big, black dog, but fortunately it turns out he's your godfather. Dogfather?

He transforms into a bat! Fortunately, it's a baseball bat, which then falls to the ground.

He tries to gift-wrap you, but you beat the wrap.

He tries to saaahk your blaaahd, but you pretend you're a stone, so he can't get blood from you.

Fumble Message:

He transforms into a cloud of almost-invisible mist. Since that cloud is wrapped in a festive ribbon, though, it's not as successful a gambit as it might have been. (FUMBLE!)
