You're fighting a toothless mastiff bitchLet's be clear here, all you sniggering kids: this is a female dog, not a pejorative term for an unpleasant woman (although the dog isn't exactly pleasant, either). Usually she just lies in her kennel making answer to the clock -- a more polite way to say "howling nonstop" -- but it looks like she's not pleased that you've invaded her territory. Prepare to be gummed into submission.
Hit Message(s):
She gums your <leg>. It's annoying and slightly painful. Ouch! Ouch!
She jumps up on you and licks your face, effectively crushing your spine. Argh! Ugh!
She raises her wrinkled snout to the heavens and howls the most spooky howl you've heard in a while. Ooh! Ooh! (spooky damage)
She barks loudly in your ear. Man, that was way worse than her bite. Ouch! Argh!
Her baleful eyes stare right through you as she howls at something just over your left shoulder. You turn and see a shroud floating in the air toward you! It's pretty darn spooky. Ooh! Ugh! Ugh! (spooky damage)
She tries to bark in your ear, but wheezes and coughs instead.
She tries to bite you in the <elbow>, but her attack lacks bite.
She tries to howl spookily, but she's not even as spooky as a moving castle.
She tries to jump up on you, but you shout "down! Stay!
She leaps at you, barking ferociously. You grab a nearby stick, shout "fetch!", and pretend to throw it. She obligingly trots off to look for it while you sit back and snicker. (FUMBLE!)
 | You acquire an item: disintegrating spiky collar (20% chance)* |
| You gain some <substat>. |
Occurs at The Stately Pleasure Dome.
