Summary 0011454: Swamp worm harpoon shot correction
Description When a swamp worm fires a harpoon shot, the text given is "The swamp worm throws harpoon shot at you." That doesn't sound quite right, could do with a change to "throws a harpoon shot" maybe?

Okay, I tend to agree "throws harpoon shot at you" is awkward. Looking at the code a bit, I see the spell text says "Fires a long and flexible barbed mass."

Perhaps we could change the name of this spell to "harpoon barb".

I think "throws a harpoon barb at you" sounds better, if the monster with the spell is a plant anyway. If the monster with the harpoon spell isn't a plant, then my solution doesn't *really* work.

Anyway, I'm happy to implement it if no one objects.

Swamp worms and Harold are the two monsters with this spell. Neither of them are plants.

Iron Giants, also not plants, have this spell too.
