You're fighting a turtle mechThis is a biomechanical, armor-plated turtle. It's not going to be easy getting past its defenses. Even its emotional defenses.
Hit Message(s):
You punch it as hard as you can. Your fist bounces off its metal shell with a resounding OUCH! Ouch! Ooh! Ouch! Argh!
It walks straight over your foot. Oddly enough, armor-plated turtles are heavy. Ugh! Ouch! Ow! Ow!
It snaps you like a snapping turtle, only with more razor-sharp metal involved. Argh! Ugh! Ooh! Oof!
It boxes you like a boxing turtle, only with more razor-sharp metal involved. Eek! Ouch! Ooh! Ouch!
It runs forward at you, but you leap onto its shell and, with a kick, send it spinning. You're so busy congratulating yourself that you don't notice the shell ricochet off a wall and come hurtling back at you. Ow! Ooh! Ouch! Ugh!
You almost crush your fist on its shell, but wisely pull your punch.
It walks straight at you, but you jump on top of it and kick it out of its shell.
It tries to snap at you, but you snap at it to knock it off.
It tries to box you like a boxing turtle, but you avoid getting boxed in.
It runs forward at you, but you leap onto its shell and, with a kick, send it spinning. The shell spins off a nearby cliff, and you get a brief rest until the turtle respawns. (FUMBLE!)
 | You acquire an item: polyalloy shield (10% chance)* |
Occurred at A Sinister Dodecahedron.
References
- Much like the Turtle Doves in the English Christmas carol, "The 12 Days of Christmas," the Turtle Mech comes in twos and was presented on the second day after the reappearance of Crimbo Town.
- The miss message regarding kicking the turtle out of its shell, as well as the fumble message, are references to various games from the Super Mario franchise.
- The last bit of the creature text mentioning emotional defenses may be a reference to giant turtle Morla from The Neverending Story, who was so deeply wrapped in his own apathy he stated that he "Doesn't even care that he doesn't care."
