 You're fighting a senile lihc

Some necromancers, in a desperate final bid for immortality, perform dire rituals to become lihces. This one did it by accident, while trying to make some breakfast.

Hit Message(s):

It strangles you with its ghostly tentacles while demanding a cure for pancakes. Ooh! Ow! Ow! (spooky damage)

It moans an utterly spoooky moan. You feel an utterly spoooky pain in your <throat>. Ooh! Ouch! Ugh! (spooky damage)

It chomps you with its teeth, apparently having mistaken you for a bowl of chow mein. Eek! Ugh! Oof! (spooky damage)

It gazes deep into your soul with its mad eyes. You feel moody. Argh! Ugh! Ouch! (spooky damage)

Critical Hit Message:

It swoops around you in ever-widening circles, trailing ectoplasm and madness, moaning like the spoookier cousin of a banshee. You don't know if it's attacking, or if it just forgot what it was doing again, but either way, it's spooky spooky spooky! Eek! Ooh! Ooh! (spooky damage)

Miss Message(s):

It tries to strangle you with its ghostly tentacles, but you had spaghetti for breakfast this morning and know how to dodge.

It moans a spoooky moan, but gets distracted and starts talking about how Marie died and asking when jello is.

It tries to chomp you, but its jaw dislodges and falls off.

It gazes deep into your soul with its mad eyes, then forgets what it's doing and floats off.

Fumble Message:

It flies toward you again, then forgets where you are. It looks frantically around for you, even though you're standing directly in front of it. Maybe it's mistaken you for a tombstone. (FUMBLE!)
