Crimbo P. R. E. S. S. I. E. (hatchling)
From A KoL Wiki
Crimbo P. R. E. S. S. I. E.
This is one of the new prototypes coming out of Uncle Crimbo's R&D department. It's a Positronic Robotic Entity Skilled in Sabotage and Improvisational Explosions, or P.R.E.S.S.I.E. for short. Basically, it's a robot designed to cause all kinds of festive, holiday-themed mischief.
This one's on standby right now, so it doesn't blow up the entire store and kill everyone in it. In a totally festive way, of course.

Notes
- December 2007's item of the month from Mr. Store.
- Its in-store description: Acts like either a volleyball or a sombrero (see this forum post for technical details,) and does various robotechtronic things in combat.
- The forum post in question reads:
- Okay, so, what this familiar does is a bunch of random stuff in combat that may or may not be of any interest to optimizers.
- What it also does, however, and what probably is of interest to optimizers, is it acts like a volleyball most of the time.
- Its arena equipment is +5 pounds, and is also [fold]able into a piece of equipment that is +5 pounds and also switches the P. R. E. S. S. I. E.'s functionality from volleyball to sombrero.
- Have fun!
- On a radio show, Jick stated that the P. R. E. S. S. I. E. backronym was created by using the Cyborg Name Generator, with him changing "Immediate Exploration" to "Improvisational Explosions".
- First prize in The Raffle House on January 9, 2008.
