Combat Messages
- The parrot will sometimes repeat the last thing you said in chat as its combat text.
- Without being in chat:
- <name> squawks, "Awwrrk! Timmy's fallen down the well! *whistle*"
- <name> squawks, "Awwrrk! Your actions are morally reprehensible. *whistle*"
- <name> squawks, "Awwrrk! Don't forget DL-6! *whistle*"
- <name> sits on your shoulder, preening and otherwise unaware of what you're doing.
- Enthroned in the Crown of Thrones:
- <name> becomes a blur of feathers, beak, and claws as it attacks her for X damage. Man, what a parrot trooper.
- Bjornified in the Buddy Bjorn:
- <name> attacks your foe in much the same way you would, although with more wing-flapping. It's X damage worth of cute.
- With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:
- <name> winks at you and squawks "Pieces of eight! Awwrk!"
- With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:
- <name> flaps around the maypole once, and then perches on top of it and preens for a bit.
- With wax lips equipped:
- <name> tries to whistle at you, but the wax lips make it rather difficult.
Arena Messages
- When entered in a game of Hide and Seek:
- <name> is far too brightly-colored to be an effective hider.
Notes
- Attempting to name the parrot "Polly" will result in it being named "Unoriginality." However, naming it "Polly" at Manage Familiar Names will not trigger the renaming of "Unoriginality."
- At 5 lbs the parrot begins to be useful for cold resistance for the final stage of the Mt. McLargeHuge Quest.
- Due to its ability to provide elemental resistance without using an equipment slot, the Parrot proves useful in Fernswarthy's Basement.
- The Exotic Parrot provides elemental resistance based on weight according to the following table:
| Parrot Weight | Hot resistance | Cold resistance | Spooky resistance | Stench resistance | Sleaze resistance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-4 lb | Slight (+1) | none | none | none | none |
| 5-8 lb | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) | none | none | none |
| 9-12 lb | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) | none | none |
| 13-16 lb | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) | none |
| 17-20 lb | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) |
| 21-24 lb | So-so (+2) | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) |
| 25-28 lb | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) |
| 29-32 lb | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) | Slight (+1) | Slight (+1) |
| 33-36 lb | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) | Slight (+1) |
| 37-40 lb | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) |
| 41-44 lb | Serious (+3) | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) |
| 45-48 lb | Serious (+3) | Serious (+3) | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) |
| 49-52 lb | Serious (+3) | Serious (+3) | Serious (+3) | So-so (+2) | So-so (+2) |
| 53-56 lb | Serious (+3) | Serious (+3) | Serious (+3) | Serious (+3) | So-so (+2) |
| 57-79 lb | Serious (+3) | Serious (+3) | Serious (+3) | Serious (+3) | Serious (+3) |
| 80-99 lb | Stupendous (+4) | Stupendous (+4) | Stupendous (+4) | Stupendous (+4) | Stupendous (+4) |
| 100-119 lb | Superhuman (+5) | Superhuman (+5) | Superhuman (+5) | Superhuman (+5) | Superhuman (+5) |
| 120-??? lb | Smegmatic (+6) | Smegmatic (+6) | Smegmatic (+6) | Smegmatic (+6) | Smegmatic (+6) |
- Notice that, starting at 80 lbs, the familiar increases resistance in a different fashion. (This is not just formatted differently for the editor's convenience.)
History
- Before May 1, 2012, the Exotic Parrot was commonly a familiar of choice for PvPers as its +15 equipment was advantageous in the "Familiar Weight" minigame.
- At 5 lbs the parrot met The L33t Tr4pz0r's entire requirement for cold resistance in the old version of the level 8 quest.
References
- "Don't forget DL-6" is a reference to the Nintendo DS game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney in which the player must cross-examine a parrot in an attempt to get the bird to say, "Don't forget DL-6."
- The haiku about the technicolor dreamcoat refers to the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which, in turn, is a reference to the Biblical story about Joseph and his coat of many colors.
- The message where the parrot reports Timmy having fallen down a well is a common joke made referencing Lassie.
- The message about "pieces of eight" is a reference to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, in which Captain Flint, Long John Silver's parrot, screams, "Pieces of eight."
