"Player was scragged by a Scrag"
"Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee. Ugly as hell. They're not real tough, but like to bushwhack you."
Scrags (also known as Wizards) are the only flying monster in standard Quake. Their slime projectiles are easy to dodge, but you'll need lots of room to move and a sharp eye for other Scrags. At long range, use the Shotgun, the Nailgun the Super Nailgun, or the Rocket Launcher. At close range, use a Double-Barrelled Shotgun. At medium range, if you have good aim and are far enough away not to be hurt by the explosion, you can lob a Grenade at a Scrag for a one-shot kill.
Scrags possess some cunning beyond the lofty standard set by the other monsters in Quake (*cough*). They are constantly moving side to side (except when attacking), and so manage to dodge many incoming slow-moving projectiles. Also, if you duck behind cover while they are attacking, they may throw an extra shot or two at your last seen location, so you might want to be careful before you pop back out again.
In Quake 1, a Scrag is a kind of floating creature resembling a white snake combined with a human torso that spits small green globs of acid at you. In some places, the
Scrag is known as a Wizard. The Scrag floats by means of a gas bladder. If the Scrag is mortally wounded, so is the
bladder, and causing it to fall to the ground.
Alone and with other Scrags, a Scrag is easy to kill. Two Super Shotgun blasts can kill it. To avoid its projectiles, just
strafe around it. If there's a group of them, take out your Nailgun and wipe them out.
With other enemies, Scrags are a major pain in the ass. They usually pop up in front of you at inappropriate times, such
as when you're about to fire a rocket at another enemy. In larger rooms, they tend to stay away from a fight and take
potshots at you. The best way to minimize them from interfering is to shoot them when the enemy you're fighting is
stunned. When the enemy is stunned, move back and take out the Scrags with one of your Nailguns. Or, you can try and get
the Scrag caught in the splash damage of a grenade or rocket, but this can be risky, especially if you're in a tight room.
Do not attempt to provoke a monster infight with scrags. Its flight capabilities makes it really hard to provoke or be
provoked, and nearly every monster will kill it before it does any significant damage.

monster. Can be quite a nuisance if you had a good time last night and your aim still is a bit wiggly.
