Combat Messages

• At the end of combat:
  • <Familiar> looks for some extra items and meat, claiming it's his fee for the psychoanalysis he did of the monster while you were fighting.
  • <Familiar> says, "It would appear your foe had an unhealthy obsession with material goods. Let us endeavor to help him rid himself of that obsession."
  • <Familiar> says, "the little dance that I am doing is symbolic of my sublimated desire for material goods," and winks at you.
  • <Familiar> says, "this creature clearly has an unhealthy obsession with material things."
  • <Familiar> says, "winking and dancing are primal, universal symbols for acquiring meat and items, respectively."
  • <Familiar> says, "the uncontrollable urge to dance is evidence of repressed sexual longing," and does a little soft-shoe.
  • <Familiar> says, "as this monster has no meat, I shall collect my fee for psychoanalysis in material goods."
  • <Familiar> says, "the urge to dance demonstrates repressed feelings of inadequacy about one's psychoanalytical abilities," and does a little dance.
• When dropping a jar:
  • <Familiar> looks at you, raises an eyebrow, and says "Wait. Why am I doing all the work? Take this, and try to pick up some of the slack, would you?"

    You acquire an item: psychoanalytic jar

References

• This familiar is a huge reference to psychologist Carl Jung (surname pronounced young), who worked with Sigmund Freud at the start of his career but then diverged. Jung was interested in the unconscious, including the what he called the collective unconscious. Jung kept years of his notes in a red-leather-bound book that is now called the Red Book.
• The familiar's name is also reference to the song Angry Young Man by Billy Joel.
• Dancing and winking are in-game Common Metaphors.
