Notes

• Damage (Shin) is 2(1-X) where X is the familiar's weight. Damage will be an even number.
• Meat given (Gimmel) ranges from 1 to 3*X where X is the familiar's weight.
• MP restore (Heh) ranges from 1 to X+1 where X is the familiar's weight.
• The Dreidl has an equal chance of landing on any of its four sides.
• When the Nun result occurs, the monster won't attack you that turn, similar to the effects of a procrastination potion.
• By mistake, this used to give no-delete status.
• The transliterations of the Hebrew letters are deliberately off to allow for them to correspond to English words.

References

• The name of this familiar is a play on a Hanukkah Dreidl, a traditional Jewish spinning top related to the holiday of Hanukkah. Haiku, name, and combat messages may be funnier to those Jewish people reading them.
• The last line of the haiku is a reference to the line "joy to you and me" from the song Joy to the World (the Three Dog Night version, not the popular Christmas version).
