John the Magical Dog is a magical dog that travels through Monstertown defeating monsters!

Oh no, here comes Mr. Eyeball!

John pulled out his magic powder and “casted” a spell by throwing the powder in the monster’s eye  corneas, which covered his pupils and irises so that he couldn’t see. His lenses couldn’t receive light to see John’s pure awesomeness. But oh no! Mr. Eyeball shook off the magic dust and started using his magic eye to defy the opponent-process theory and track down John, who has red-green fur.

Then, John used his magic to make a cloud of smoke so Mr. Eyeball couldn’t see him. Even though Mr. Eyeball’s cones couldn’t see color since the smoke was so dark, his rods helped him spot John anyways. John knew if this kept up, he would never defeat the monster, so John began to think to himself.

John knew that according to the trichromatic theory, as long as the monster didn’t have color-blindness, Mr.Eyeball’s magic eyes could spot him when light from his red-green dog fur went into his foveae, which told Mr. Eyeball where he was.Then, John remembered how eyes have a blind spot where Mr. Eyeball’s optic nerves exited his retinas! With this, John avoided Mr. Eyeball’s sight and defeated him.

Next, John met Sir Earlobe, who could use his middle ear to send vibrations through the hammer, anvil, and then stirrup bones in his ears so well that they could hear the slightest step. John tried barking at a high frequency to make a high pitched sound that would give Sire Earlobe sensorineural hearing loss...

...but John was mistaken because he needed to be louder, not high pitched. Sir Earlobe heard and noticed the wavelength of John’s barking through his auditory nerves, and ran towards him. John needed to think fast, or else!

Quickly, John magically stuffed dirt in Sir Earlobe’s ears, blocking his eardrums, which stopped sound vibrations from going through his ear canals. Sir Earlobe’s lost his ability to hear well through conduction hearing loss and accidentally rolled down the hill. Liquid swished around inside his cochlea, and he was so dizzy that he couldn’t fight anymore.

After John the Magical Dog defeated Sir Earlobe, he went on deeper into Monstertown only to be faced by Dr. Tastebud! Dr. Tastebud has these nasty tonsils that make John have really bad tastes in his mouth! John went to retrieve a potion and was struck by a sour spell! Now everything tastes sour like eating a lemon! John finally found his potion and threw it at Dr. Tastebud, making his sour taste turn into something sweet, like candy...

...but Dr. Tastebud wouldn't be defeated so easily, so he fired up his tastebuds and shot another gross taste at John - bitterness! Now John’s whole mouth tastes like coffee! And to add onto that, Dr. Tastebud also fired the taste of saltiness at John - enhancing it even MORE with the taste of umami! He was in a lot of pain, and the gate-control theory was proving just that.

Just as John the Magical Dog was about to lose, he dug out a spell to make Dr. Tastebud taste no more. He read the spell as quickly as he could and BAM! Dr. Tastebud could taste no more and ran away as far as he could.
