Combat Messages

• Regular messages:

  <name> squints at your foe, shooting them with a beam of concentrated space energy. You never knew space could smell so bad. X damage worth of bad. Just seeing how discomfited your opponent is makes it entirely worth it, though.

You gain X Mana Points.

<name> fires a beam of foul-smelling space radiation at your foe -- it causes X damage, and their coughing and gagging cheers you up immensely.

You gain X Mana Points.

<name> hits your opponent with a burst of deep-space radiation, which for some reason smells like burning tires made of hair. It does X damage to your foe, and fills you with wonder at the mysteries of the universe.

You gain X Mana Points.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

  <name> drops winks at you. Blinks? Let's just go with winks. Or it could be a nervous tic.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

  <name> hops around the maypole. It makes the most adorable little peeping noise.

• With wax lips equipped:

  You couldn't find a mouth to put the wax lips on, so you kind of balanced them on <name>'s head? It looks weird.

Arena Messages

• None - familiar has no weaknesses.

References

• This critter likely twitches because it was implemented during the Twitch Livestream World Event.

Notes

• X appears to be around weight x 2... maybe?
• Will drop a copy of its hatchling 0.02% of combats.
• Will only drop space beast fur from the Crown of Thrones/Buddy Bjorn once a day.

History

• When Jick was designing this familiar, he planned on making it copy its hatchling once every 10,000 adventures, but some people on the stream convinced him to lower it to once every 5,000.
• For a few hours after this familiar was implemented, the image was static.
