You're fighting a guard turtleStella's insidious brainwashing has turned this normally-peaceful turtle into a slavering, violent beast. Not a particularly fast one, but if it catches up to you, you're in trouble.
Whoops! Looks like it just caught up to you. Sorry, I should have warned you sooner.
Hit Message(s):
It takes off its shell and wings it at you. The shell smacks into you, making you see stars. For a second, you feel like you're half as tall as you ought to be. Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
It stomps a little triangular pattern into your <forehead>. Ooh! Ow! Ouch!
Aw, snap, it just snapped your <shoulder>. Eek! Argh! Ooh!
Since it's not a ninja turtle, it can't karate-kick you, so it just gnaws on your shins instead. Argh! Eek! Eek!
Zut alors! It is, how you say, snapping at you with its beak! Sacrebleu, quelle horreur! Ow! Oof! Ow!
It tries to snap you, but misses, so you mock the turtle.
It tries to stomp a little triangle into your <lower back>, but wasn't programmed correctly.
It tries to roundhouse-kick you, but isn't a ninja enough turtle.
It slips off its shell to throw at you, but stops when you laugh at its nekkid turtle body.
Sacrebleu! It tried to hit you, but you had the savoir faire to dodge, thereby avoiding becoming its soup du jour. (FUMBLE!)
