Talk:Reanimated Reanimator

Initial reports say you can collect parts to give it better abilities, up to 50 of each type of part. The number of parts is more important than the weight for those abilities. The copying shares a counter with the Obtuse Angel. And it apparently is an undead familiar. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 05:29, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

I can confirm that it's undead, and the arrow-replacement causes the wandering monster to occur at least twice. The parts correspond thusly: arms deal damage in combat, wings delevel, legs increase item drops, skulls increase meat drops, and weird parts block attacks. Your swarm of parts is lost when you ascend but your settings (of what he is collecting) stay the same.--Graymalkin (#624900) (talk) 05:41, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Maypole message: "Hubert West does a weird and scientific dance around the Maypole, with a twerk margin-of-error of less than 5%." Tam O Shanter: "Hubert West twitches his right eyelid under the Tam O'Shanter." Wax Lips: "Hubert West grins maniacally beneath the wax lips." --Noskilz (talk) 19:52, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Just to clarify, is the limit 1.5 (or 2 with equipment) parts/level overall, with a limit of 50 on any given part type? In other words, a level 50 Reanimator with no equipment could have 50 skulls and 25 legs, acting as a level 50 leprechaun and 25 fairy? --Terrimas (talk) 06:30, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

• No. It can have up to fifty parts total. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 19:36, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
  • So a Reanimator with 20 pounds base weight and +15 pounds from buffs can carry 50 legs and will act as a 35 pound Volleyball + 50 pound Fairy. The 50 pound Fairy part of him can't receive any further buffs and couldn't grow any more, since 50 parts is its maximum, even with its familiar equipment on top of that. Also all familiar weight buffs and universal familiar equipment (like a sugar shield) would only increase the weight of the Volleyball. Right? --Yatsufusa (talk) 00:15, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

I read a rumour on the forums that this familiar has a chance to add a zombie to your horde at the end of combat in a Zombie Slayer run, but haven't had a chance to test it yet. Can anyone confirm this? Nevermind. Either it's really rare, or it just doesn't happen. --Hamfish 04:21, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

I did a little spading, and found that it lost one body part per adventure while in the terrarium.I didn't try noncoms, though, or free combats. BantyaK (talk) 15:22, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Body parts

I see it's already been added to the page, but the info about each body part giving 1 pound of the basic familiar effect comes from this post. Note that Jick said they're supposed to, so perhaps independent verification would be useful, just to be sure that's accurate. --Prestige (talk) 01:47, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Winking and rollover and active familiar

On the last adventure of one day, I had winked at him. After rollover, I did not receive the wandering monsters. Later that day I made him my active familiar and still none showed up. Probably intentional, and probably specific to rollover, having nothing to do with which is the active familiar.--Hastifer (talk) 14:20, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

• Romantic arrows stop affecting a monster at rollover, so I would expect that's how winking works as well. --Yatsufusa (talk) 15:43, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
