You'd do it the very same way you did with M.

mob/proc/Attack(mob/target)
  if(!target) return   // simple safety check
  var/damage = max(DamageFormula(src,target), target.hp)
  src << "You attack [target] for [damage] damage!"
  target << "[src] attacks you for [damage] damage!"
  // now check if M has died, and tell it who the killer is
  target.DeathCheck(src)

// in any death check, src must always be the victim
mob/proc/DeathCheck(mob/killer)
  if(hp <= 0)
    killer << "You have killed [src]."
    src << "[killer] kills you."
    if(client)    // call a proc to respawn players
      Respawn()
    else          // delete monsters
      del(src)


I did Attack() as a proc because it means that now your monster AI can call the very same proc that players' verbs do to inflict damage.

view() << "<font size=1>[usr] attacks [M] for [damage]!"

Like that
