*When entered in a game of Hide and Seek:
::<name> can't hide very well, because it can't stop rustling.

*MP restore ranges from int(X+5)/2 to X+5, where X is the weight of the familiar. It will restore MP roughly 35% of the time.

==References==
*The second line of the haiku is a play on the title of the song "''Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground''", by [[Wikipedia:The White Stripes|The White Stripes]].
*The ability to restore MP by sprinkling you with maple syrup may be a reference to the game [[Wikipedia:Paper Mario|Paper Mario]], in which Mario can heal FP by drinking maple syrup.
*The message given with the wax lips equipped quotes the television characters Bob and Doug McKenzie from [[Wikipedia:Second City Television|Second City Television]], played by actors Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas.
*The attacking Maple Leaf may be a reference to John Bellairs' novel "The Face in the Frost" where such a leaf attacks wizard and main character Prospero.
