floaty stone sphere
This is like a regular rock, except for the fact that it's a perfect sphere (like Charlie Brown's head) and it's floating several inches off of the ground (like Charlie Brown's head in this weird dream I had last night.) It's uncanny -- even though it doesn't have any eyes, you get the feeling that it's watching you. Observing you. Beholding you.
Type: familiar
Cannot be discarded
(In-game plural: floaty stone spheres)
Obtained From
- Stores
- Mr. Store (1 Mr. Accessory)
When Used
|
| You put the floaty stone sphere in your Familiar-Gro™ Terrarium. |
| It rises from the ground and opens its huge, baleful eye. Then three smaller, somewhat-less-baleful eyestalks emerge from the top of it. |
|
| You decide to name him Gratchell. |
Notes
- August 2009's item of the month from Mr. Store.
