*Regular message (10 pounds or less):
*:None (The familiar does nothing at this weight)
*Regular message (11 pounds or more):
*:<name> rubs his legs together. He reaches out and shocks your opponent for X damage.
*:<name> rubs his arms together. He reaches out and shocks you.
{{MP|amount=X}}
*Enthroned in the [[Crown of Thrones]]:
*:<name> flings a water balloon at <him>. Wait, that wasn't water . . . well, that's disgusting, but it did do {{element|Stench|dmg=10-15}} ({{element|Sleaze|dmg=+10-15}}) damage.
*Bjornified in the [[Buddy Bjorn]]:
*:<name> targets your opponent with a water balloon that turns out to be filled with something other than water. I'll leave you to guess what exactly, but your hint is that it causes {{element|Stench|dmg=10-15}} ({{element|Sleaze|dmg=+10-15}}) damage.
*With [[lucky Tam O'Shanter]] equipped:
*:<name> shocks your slain foe's body and shakes loose some extra meat.
*With [[miniature gravy-covered maypole]] equipped:
*:<name> does a squeaky simian dance around the maypole.
*With [[wax lips]] equipped:
*:<name> squeaks and shifts uncomfortably beneath his wax lips.

==Arena Messages==
*When entered in a game of Hide and Seek:
*:The squeaking makes it really easy for <name> to be found. Or maybe it's the howling. Either one.

==Notes==
*This familiar will not act until it weighs at least 11 pounds.
*Damage ranges from int(X/4) to int(X/2), where X is the weight of the familiar. It acts roughly 22.5% of the time.
*MP restore ranges from int(X/4) to int(X/2), where X is the weight of the familiar. It acts roughly 27.5% of the time.

==References==
*The monkey is one big reference to the song "Shock the Monkey", from the album ''Security'' by [[Wikipedia:Peter Gabriel|Peter Gabriel]], in 1982. Being made of balloons, it is also natural that rubbing it would accumulate a static charge.
