==Notes==
*This skill can only be used when the Stomping Boots give their "stomping" message at the beginning of combat. Once used, the message will disappear until the boots have recharged.
*Using this skill instantly kills the opponent, except for bosses and certain special monsters. 
*The player does not receive any stats for a stomped monster. Familiars and [[Pasta Thralls]] gain experience as usual.
*Other than in the context of the exceptions listed below, stomped enemies will '''not''' drop any items or meat. This includes quest items and items that normally have a 100% drop rate.
*Special events that are triggered by a monster's death generally do occur:
**[[Screambat]]s scream.
**Zones in [[The Cyrpt]] become less evil.
**You might find a [[beer lens]] from an [[Unemployed knob goblin]].
**[[The Battlefield|Island War]] allies make their kills. 
**[[The Slime Tube|Slimes]] may drop a [[The Bucket|chamois]]. If they previously swallowed a piece of equipment, the appropriate [[Engulfed!#Notes|slime-covered item]] can drop.
**Adventuring [[underwater adventuring|underwater]] consumes an extra turn (when not [[Fishy]]).
**You might find teeth for a [[Fossilized necklace]], when applicable.
**You earn a [[Clan Trophy Case|Clan Trophy]] from the [[C. H. U. M. chieftain]].
**You get stats from [[Aloysius' Antiphon of Aptitude (effect)|Antiphon]], modified by [[moon sign]] and/or [[April Shower]] buff.
**[[Crate]]s still drop items as usual.
**The robots in [[The Thinknerd Warehouse|the Thinknerd Warehouse]] still drop [[returned Thinknerd package]]s.
**Items found [[The Red Zeppelin#Notes|after combat]] in the flaming [[The_Red_Zeppelin|Red Zeppelin]] still drop.
**The [[loose coalition of yetis, snowmen, and goats]] will drop a [[tiny frozen prehistoric meteorite jawbreaker]], if the other conditions are met.
**If in [[Form of...Bird!|Birdform]], the special Birdform drops can still occur.
**The [[Li'l Businessman Kit]] can still activate, giving you the appropriate currency for the area.
*Against boss monsters and some unique monsters, this skill does not provide an instant kill and paste drop; instead, it deals damage and displays the following message:
:<Familiar name> shuffles its heels, gets a running start, then leaps on <him> and stomps mightily for 90-110 damage.

*The player gets a consumable [[spleen]] item (size/fullness 4) based on the [[Monster Types|monster's type]]. Each paste gives both adventures and substats roughly equivalent to spleen items dropped by past Mr. Store familiars.
** They give 5&ndash;10 adventures, the same as {{plural|agua de vida}}, {{plural|coffee pixie stick}}, {{plural|groose grease}} or {{plural|Unconscious Collective Dream Jar}} and slightly less than {{plural|glimmering roc feather}}.  
** They give slightly less substats than {{plural|glimmering roc feather}} or {{plural|groose grease}}.
*  Using a paste also grants you 10 turns of a bonus effect. The following is a table of the pastes and their effects:
