*'''Regular messages''':
*:<name> latches onto your opponent's face with his wriggling tentacles.
{{delevel|att=X|def=X}}
*:<name> snaps at your opponent with his sharp claws, dealing X (+Y) damage.
*Enthroned in the [[Crown of Thrones]]:
*:<name> embroils it in a tedious argument of insidious intent: to make it too engrossed in discussion to attack this round. And hey, it worked!
*Bjornified in the [[Buddy Bjorn]]:
*:<name> leaps out of the Buddy Bjorn and makes clackety-clack! noises as it chases your startled opponent around the battlefield.
*'''At the end of combat''':
**With [[lucky Tam O'Shanter]] equipped:
**:<name> flips the Tam from one of its claws to the other, then back.
**With [[miniature gravy-covered maypole]] equipped:
**:<name> slithers in a circle, leaving a trail of ooze around the maypole.
**With [[wax lips]] equipped:
**:<name> runs his tentacles over the wax lips, leaving little trails of slime behind.

==Notes==
*The value of X and Y are 1 to floor(weight/2). This is similar to an [[Imitation Crab]], but unlike the crab, X and Y are calculated separately for each attack.
*This familiar attacks about 50% of the time.
*This familiar can delevel an opponent floor(weight/2) levels at the beginning of combat, exactly like a [[Barrrnacle (familiar)|Barrrnacle]].

==Arena Message==
*None -- this familiar has no weaknesses.

==References==
* The familiar is a reference to T.S. Eliot's poem "[[wikipedia:The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock|The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock]]", which contains the famous lines "I should have been a pair of ragged claws / Scuttling across the floors of silent seas."
