 You're fighting an upgraded ram

This is a ram that has modified itself so it can survive at high altitudes. It also runs faster and crashes less frequently than your average ram.

Hit Message(s):

It charges at you. You manage to avoid it, but you do so by falling into a really, really cold snowbank. Brrrrrrrrrrr. (cold damage)

It butts you in the <bung> with its big curly horns. Ooh! Ooh! Oof! Argh! Ow!

Critical Hit Message:

The ram charges at you and knocks you high into the air with his horns. As you fall, he knocks you into the air again. This goes on for a long time, and then you see the words "200-Hit Combo!" appear in yellow letters above the ram's head. Ugh! Ugh! Ouch! Ugh! Ooh!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to butt you in the <bung>, but you quickly turn the tables and <nipple> it in the butt, instead.

It charges at you, but since two of its legs are shorter than the other two, it ends up veering off to the right and missing you.

Fumble Message:

The ram charges at you, but loses its footing and tumbles down the side of Mt. McLargeHuge. How embarrassing. (FUMBLE!)

References

• The '200-hit combo' refers to certain fighting video games that allow one player to knock the other player helplessly into the air and hit them several times before they land. This text may specifically refer to Marvel vs. Capcom I, a game which has 100+ hit combos and orange-yellow numbers that count the number of hits in the current combo. Also, several fighting games have infinite "juggle" combos; in those games one can keep striking an airborne opponent indefinitely by repeating using a specfic attack or a specific series of attacks.
• The line "It also runs faster and crashes less than your average ram" is a play on the computer term Random Access Memory, or RAM.
• The miss message about two legs being shorter is a reference to the sidehill gouger, a goat-like creature from American folklore which lives on high mountains and has shorter legs on one side. Depending on which side, they can only go around the mountain peak either clockwise or counterclockwise.
