Notes

  • December 2006's item of the month from Mr. Store.
Its in-store description: Volleyball + 40% of a Ghuol Whelp. Also occasionally drops items that let you cast minor buffs on other people.
  • The description was later changed to this:
    Volleyball + a weaker version of a Ghuol Whelp. Also occasionally drops items that let you cast minor buffs on other people.
  • In actuality, the plural form of Chrysalis is "Chrysalises" or "Chrysalides". You will be quizzed on this.

References

  • The name of this item and the resulting familiar refer to a line from the secular Christmas carol "Deck the Halls", which is "Troll the ancient Yule tide carol, / Fa la la la la, la la la la."
  • Could possibly be a reference to Terry Pratchett's fantasy series Discworld, where there is a troll named Chrysoprase.
