 You're fighting a wasp in a wig

Not to put too fine a point on it, this is way scarier than a bee in a bonnet -- it's a wasp wearing a wig. You can't be too sure if he's a British barrister, a colonialist, a French monarch, or maybe just a drag queen, but he's still pretty off-putting.

And they said it was altogether beyond the appliances of art. Take that, Tenniel!

Hit Message(s):

He stings you with his stinger. Yup, that's all I got. Oof! Ooh! Ugh! Ooh!

He tries to examine your wig more closely, and accidentally impales you with his stinger. Eek! Ouch!

He tries to exchange wigs with you, and before you can tell him you're not wearing a wig, the damage has been done. Argh! Ooh!

He shakes his wig at you. You get wig powder up your nose and sneeze until your head aches. Ow! Oof! Ouch! Ouch!

Critical Hit Message:

He totally wigs out and stings you over and over and over again. Wasps, man. Leftover Nazi bees, that's what they are. Argh! Ow! Oof!

Miss Message(s):

He tries to sting you, but you're unstingable.

He tries to exchange wigs with you, but you're not wearing one.

He stops to put a hat on, to keep his wigwam.

He shakes his wig at you, but you tell him to stop wigging out.

Fumble Message:

He stops attacking you to go sting him, and him, and that guy over there. Pow! (FUMBLE!)

References

• "A Wasp in a Wig" is a lost chapter from Through the Looking Glass. John Tenniel was the illustrator for the Alice books, and it was at his suggestion that the chapter was removed, and was quoted as saying "A wasp in a wig is altogether beyond the appliances of art".
• "Not to put too fine a point on it" in the description is a reference to the song Birdhouse In Your Soul by They Might Be Giants.
