 You're fighting a rattlin' duck

This duck, after being driven into Farmer McMillicancuddy's Bog, has somehow taken on the properties of a venomous bog-snake. It seems to have taken on the smell, too.

Hit Message(s):

It takes you under its wing, then bites you when (and where) you least expect it. Your blood fills with stinky venom. Ow! Ouch! Eek! Argh! Eek! (stench damage)

It hits you with its tail, a ripe tail, a rattlin' tail. Ouch! Ow! Ooh! Oof! (stench damage)

It bites you, pumping you full of stinky venom. (stench damage)

It stomps you with its stinky feet, briefly flashing you back to high school gym class. Ooh! Ow! Ow! Ouch! (stench damage)

Critical Hit Message:

It flaps its wings, blowing great clouds of stench toward you as it does so. Apparently the under-wing for a duck is the analog of a human under-arm. You desperately wish someone'd invent deodorant that's ph-balanced for a duck.Ouch! Ouch! Ugh! Ooh! (stench damage)

Miss Message(s):

It tries to kiss you, but its lips are venomous poison, so you dodge.

It tries to hit you with its rattlin' tail, but you're not so rattled that you can't dodge.

It takes you under its wing; fortunately, it does so only in the metaphorical sense.

It tries to step on you with its stinky feet, but that stinky feat is unsuccessful.

Fumble Message:

It flaps its wings, blowing clouds of stench your way, but a freak change in the wind currents puts the duck downwind of itself. It chokes, gags, and passes out. (FUMBLE!)
