Arena Messages

• When entered in an Obstacle Course:

The general green pixie approach to an obstacle is to headbutt it until it ceases to become an obstacle, which isn't an optimal strategy here.

Notes

• The bottles of absinthe drop a maximum of five times a day.
• The Green Pixie doesn't drop absinthe if you're already under the Absinthe-Minded effect.
• According to Mr. Skullhead, the Green Pixie has the same attack statistics as the Elemental Gravy Fairies, just dealing physical damage instead of Elemental damage. This means that its damage ranges from Weight/2 to Weight.
