You really, REALLY need to stop doing that.
It simply is not right. At all. AT ALL.
You grab his balls with your teeth and bite down.
From his screaming and flailing you can assume this was a good strategy, and after a few more squeezes you let go and climb out from under the pegasus who is now silently whimpering in the middle of the yard, curled into a pathetic ball.
These two won't forget you, as you are by far the dirtiest, most unfair fighter they have ever seen.
