*Regular messages:
*:<name> bleeps, "MEDICAL SYSTEMS ACTIVATED," and fires a dart into your neck. You suddenly feel much better. {{HP}} {{MP}}
*:<name> shambles up to your opponent with a "Graaaaagh," and bites him on the head. He seems a little dazed by the experience.{{delevel|att=X|def=Y}}
*:You hear a faint howling of wind, and <name> suddenly appears out of the shadows, holding your opponent's meat pouch. {{meat|amount=some}}
*:<name> shouts "Yarrrr!" and battens your opponent's hatches for him. Violently. For X damage.
*:<name> does a pelvic thrust at your opponent. A piece of toast ricochets off his head, momentarily stunning him (and/or driving him insa-a-a-a-ane).{{acquire|item=toast}}
*Enthroned in the [[Crown of Thrones]]:
*:You relax, listening to the comforting drone of <Name>'s circuitry. {{HP|amount=10-15}} {{MP|amount=8-10}}
*Bjornified in the [[Buddy Bjorn]]:
*:<Name> whispers an encouraging sea shanty (8-bit remix) in your ear. {{HP|amount=10-15}} {{MP|amount=8-10}}
*With [[lucky Tam O'Shanter]] equipped:
*:<name> ravages your slain foe in a variety of ways, and discovers some extra meat.
*With [[miniature gravy-covered maypole]] equipped:
*:<name> does a stealthy, jerky, shambling jig around the maypole.
*With [[wax lips]] equipped:
*:<name> grins at you with the wax lips stuck to the outside of his mask. The effect is, on the whole, disturbing.

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

==Notes==
*Four [[ninja pirate zombie robot]]s were given to [[:User:Balam|balam]] (#31632), TedPro (#28312), Nytmare (#56672) and [[:User:VidaLondres|Vida Londres]] (#9035) to [http://pics.livejournal.com/prikaza/pic/0003wzdx thank them] for their work in running the [[Wikipedia:Live action role-playing game|LARP]] at [[KoL Con]] II.  The secret to creating them was not divulged at that time, prompting one of the biggest spade races in KoL history as clans and individuals alike sought to unravel its riddle.  After a highly competitive and closely followed race, members of [http://www.noblesse-oblige.org/ Noblesse Oblige] were the first to crack it, followed closely by [http://www.iocainepowder.org/ Iocaine Powder] leader '''Chrono Mage'''. The recipe became public shortly after it was discovered by a cross-clan coalition of largely newer players named The Inter-Clan Spade Foundation.
*For weight X, damage done will be int((X+1d3)*1.5).
*For weight X, HP/MP healed will be int((X+1d3)*1.5)+5.
*In the formula for Meat stolen, X is approximately (6*weight)+10, and is independent of the area and monster.  The range of Meat gain is approximately (3*weight)+10, and thefts are distributed evenly over the range. As of February 9th, 2008, the NPZR can only give Meat in the first ten rounds.
*For weight X, Deleveling done by the "Graaagh" attack is -X/2 ML, floored.
*The familiar acts 50% of the time, regardless of its weight.
**Will perform the toast action 6% of the time.
**The other four actions occur 11% of the time.
**After the 10th round, all meat steal actions become attack actions, so that attacks occur 22% of the time.
*Since the amount of Meat stolen is determined by the NPZR weight, regardless of which monster you are fighting, it can be used to [[Maximizing Your Meat Drops#Farming for Meat with a NPZR|effectively farm for Meat]].

==References==
*The familiar's name refers to the [http://www.npzr.org/ Ninjapiratezombierobot Clan].
*The pelvic thrust message in combat refers to the song "[[Wikipedia:Time Warp|The Time Warp]]", from the movie ''[[Wikipedia:The Rocky Horror Picture Show|The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'', as well as "driving him insa-a-a-a-ane" which is what the pelvic thrust does according to the song.  The toast derives from the ritual of throwing toast when Dr. Frank-N-Furter ([[wikipedia:Tim Curry|Tim Curry]]) proposes a toast over the meal of roast Eddie ([[wikipedia:Meat Loaf|Meat Loaf]]).
*The message given when the robotic aspect of the familiar activates possibly draws from the British comedy series ''[[Wikipedia:Look Around You|Look Around You]]'', where in one episode a medical robot delivers anesthesia to a patient via a blowgun dart to the neck.
*The description of the familiar dancing around the [[miniature gravy-covered maypole]] equipped may be based on the "Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot Dance" made up by [[Jick]] and Skipperic. You can watch Jick performing it [https://web.archive.org/web/20060322201724/http://www.npzr.org/public/npzrdance.wmv here].
