View source for Infernal seal larva

{{Retired}}{{battle
|text=You might have expected the larval form of a seal to be basically a smaller seal, the same way a larval cat is basically a smaller cat. Nope. The larval form of a seal is more like a horrible, fanged slug. This one is trying to attach itself to your foot so it can suck out all of your blood. Not exactly the sort of thing you're going to put a cute caption on and post on the internet.
|hit=You slip on one of the trails of slime it's been leaving and fall ass over teakettle. You bang your head on the teakettle -- where'd you get that thing?
|miss=It starts to slime its way up your leg, but you kick it off with a shudder of disgust.

It tries to fang your foot, but doesn't seem to be able to pierce your boots. You know, those boots you're wearing.

It tries to suck your blood, but you impersonate a rutabega.

It gnashes its fangs at you, but you gnash your fangs right back. You show that seal!

It tries to go all sluggy on you, but you freelance away.

It tries to bite you and suck your blood, but it sucks at biting.
|critical=It springs into the air and attaches itself to your lower back, and sucks out some of your blood. It's as disgusting as it is painful. {{ouch|1}}
|fumble=It springs into the air to attack, but fortunately seal larva are fairly nearsighted, and it ends up trying to suck blood out of a stone.}}
