History

• Previously cost 7,000 meat. An update on July 19, 2010, changed this.
• Prior to the Turtle Tamer skill revamp on November 7, 2013, this skill dealt (pants power/10) to (pants power/5) damage (1 if no pants equipped) and staggered 50% of the time. Its use message was:

After that, you deliver a fierce knee to the groin (or groin-analogue) of your opponent, doing X extra damage.

• If the opponent was staggered from the attack, the following message was added:

Your opponent doubles over in pain, and falls over. It's even more painful than a boot to the head (nyah, nyah).

• Attempting to use it with a ranged weapon produced the following message:

You can't use Kneebutt with a ranged weapon. Because, y'know, that's not how ranged weapons work.
