*Regular messages:
**1-5 pounds:
**:<name> hovers over your opponent, slashing him with his razor-sharp seams for 11-27 damage. Deadly!
**6-10 pounds:
**:<name> hovers eye-to-eye with your opponent, and cuts him for 9-24 damage. He seems to be putting on a little weight.
**11-15 pounds:
**:<name> hovers eye-to-chest with your opponent and cuts him for 5-17 damage. He's really slowing down.
**16-20 pounds:
**:<name> hovers eye-to-shin with your opponent, and cuts him for 4-15 damage. Looks like it's taking all the effort he can muster just to keep hovering.
**Over 20 pounds:
**:<name> scrapes across the ground toward your opponent, and slashes him in the foot for 1-10 damage. He's getting way too heavy to be effective.
*Enthroned in the [[Crown of Thrones]]:
*:<Name> leaps from the hat and hovers in front of your opponent, blocking its attack.
*Bjornified in the [[Buddy Bjorn]]:
*:<name> hops out of the Buddy Bjorn and hovers over to your opponent, getting in the way of her attack.
*With [[lucky Tam O'Shanter]] equipped:
*:<name> slices some more Meat out of your opponent with his razor-sharp seams.
*With [[miniature gravy-covered maypole]] equipped:
*:<name> floats around the maypole, waving all twelve legs.
*With [[wax lips]] equipped:
*:<name> grins happily, not at all weighed down by his wax lips.

==Arena Messages==
*None - familiar has no weaknesses.

==Notes==
*Was available in the [[Mr. Store]] during June, 2005.
*[[Amphibian Sympathy]] lowers the Dodecapede's weight by 5, instead of increasing it. Other familiar-boosting skills, equipment and effects work normally.
*This familiar is a favorite for the Naughty Sorceress fight, since it requires no training to be effective.
*It has been debated that the [[little bitty bathysphere]] would be perfect for this familiar '''(spading needed)'''.
