- This familiar will attack 25% of the time, regardless of weight.
- There exists a stuffed version of this familiar.
References
- A hand turkey is a drawing of a turkey made by tracing a hand, typically using the thumb to represent the turkey's head and the fingers for feathers. It is common for 5-6 year-old American children to draw these in school, usually around Thanksgiving.
- "Gobble Gobble Hey", from the first line in the haiku description, is a poultry-flavored rewording of "Gabba Gabba Hey", which was used in the chorus from the Ramones song "Pinhead", inspired by a similar line from the 1933 movie "Freaks".
- Doing "The Funky Turkey" around the maypole is a play on the Funky Chicken, a novelty dance from 1969.
- The reference to hunt and peck in the haiku description refers to the method of untrained typing, where typists struggle to find each key (hunt) and then hit it with only one of their two index fingers (peck).
