Combat Messages

• Regular messages:

  <name> bumps into him, dealing X damage with his little poisonous spines.

  Your opponent writhes as he/her/it takes X damage from the poison.

  Your opponent brushes up against <name> and gets poked by prickly needles for X damage.

• After combat:

  <name> floats lazily in front of you, blinking its single, malevolent eye.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

  <name> twirls the Tam O'Shanter on one of its spines, briefly covering its eye.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

  <name> floats rapidly around the Maypole, looking like a spiny tetherball.

• With wax lips equipped:

  <name> sticks the Wax Lips onto its spines. The overall effect is less than cheery.

Arena Message

• When entered in a Scavenger Hunt:

  <name> lacks the depth perception necessary to truly excel in a scavenger hunt.

Notes

• After being attacked by the Mutant Cactus Bud, an enemy will be poisoned. Poison damage is 80% of the attack damage (rounded down) on the first round, and then is halved each subsequent round, unless the Mutant Cactus Bud attacks again.
• This familiar also does a small amount of passive damage when an opponent successfully attacks you.

• The last line of the description is a variant on a classic bad wordplay joke where when someone says something ending with an "-er" sound (like "tractor") someone would reply "tract-'er? I hardly know her!". On rare occasions this is actually funny.
