 You're fighting a Killer clownfish

You hear a high-pitched, bubbling cackle, and to your horror, a killer clownfish swims out of the shadows towards you. Its garish orange scales are streaked with wide lines of chalky clown-white, and its soulless eyes stare glassily at you as it giggles with menace. "Would you like to come for a swim with me?" it whispers, leering. "We all swim down here..."

Hit Message(s):

It hits you in the face with some kind of pie. I don't know what kind. I don't want to know what kind. Ugh! Oof! Ow! (sleaze damage)

It stares at you. Stares at you. Stares at you. Ouch! Argh! Ugh! (spooky damage)

It fires a high-presure seltzer bottle at you, knocking you off your feet. Well, you weren't actually on your feet, but you know. Ow! Ow! Argh!

Critical Hit Message:

It laughs at you. A laugh both hollow and juicy. A laugh that will haunt your nightmares forevermore. Can't sleep. Clownfish'll eat me. Ooh! Oof! Ooh! Eek! (spooky damage)

Miss Message(s):

It fires a high-pressure seltzer bottle at you. This mostly results in it flying backwards several yards and making the local enviroment a little fizzier.

It stares at you with its horrible blank eyes. You look away in disgust.

It throws a pie at you, but misjudges the current and misses.

Fumble Message:

It swims toward you with menace in its eyes, but the fact that it's underwater causes its makeup to run. (FUMBLE!)
