*Before Combat:
*:<name> bites it and there's a flash as its appearance changes dramatically. That can't be a good sign.
*During Combat:
*:<name> blinks out of existence for a moment. Your opponent winces, suffering X damage from some strange, unseen wound. <name> reappears at your side, crackling with energy.
{{MP|amount=X}}
*Enthroned in the [[Crown of Thrones]]:
*:<name> emits a shower of sparks. Some of them go up your nose. {{MP|amount=3-5}}
*Bjornified in the [[Buddy Bjorn]]:
*:<name> scuttles out of the Buddy Bjorn, goes in your ear, and adjusts something. {{MP|amount=3-5}}
*With [[lucky Tam O'Shanter]] equipped:
*:Your Tam O'Shanter flickers in and out of existence worryingly for a minute.
*With [[miniature gravy-covered maypole]] equipped:
*:<name> dances from one side of the maypole to the other without occupying any of the space in between.
*With [[wax lips]] equipped:
*:The wax lips <name> is wearing turn into a box of fireworks for a moment, then back into a pair of lips. Huh. 

==Notes==
*The MP gain will be equal to the damage done.
*The [[solid state loom]] gives a +10 Lbs. bonus to the Dataspider's weight, as opposed to the +5 Lbs. from most familiar equipment.
*Only certain monsters will change images. [[:Category:Bosses|Bosses]] will not change images, nor will any monster with the "overridepic" flag.
*The image to change to will be of a random monster, with a few conditions: cannot be of a boss, cannot have "overridepic" flag, has to have art (picture is not [[:File:nopic.gif|nopic.gif]] or [[:File:noart.gif|noart.gif]]) and the monster's ID must be below 1050 ([[Hobelf (WC)]]). Also, it will not change into a few hardcoded monsters: [[Johnringo, the Netdragger]] (monster ID 880), [[Ringogeorge, the Bladeswitcher]] (881), [[Hobelf (Elf Alley)]] (1031), and [[Hobelf (WC)]] (1050) are known to be exempt, though there are presumably around 10 more.
