"Hi, My name is Decius, and I am the ruler of the third planet encircling our sun. If you dare, come to our planet, and find me, I will fight hand to hand/tentacle/appendage/leg/eye/antenna and the to the victor go the spoils.

If you don't want to come here, then you are weak, useless and should fly into the nearest sun."

All hail our fearless leader! You must get through him before you can come for us, in the hills, where we are well fortified.
