Combat Messages
- Regular combat messages:
- <name> stares blankly at you. "I just -- I just -- I can't -- I don't --" he sputters, compulsively winking and grinning a nervous grin.
- <name> complains, "My spoon is toooo biiiig."
- With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:
- <name> winks convulsively under the Tam O'Shanter, twitching so hard the hat barely stays on his head.
- With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:
- <name> does a twitchy, flailing dance around the maypole. Someone should get him a giant business suit.
- With wax lips equipped:
- The wax lips bounce up and down as <name> twitches uncontrollably behind them.
Arena Messages
- When entered in an Ultimate Cage Match:
- <name> doesn't really like fighting. It makes him nervous.
Notes
- Was available in Mr. Store for two Mr. Accessories between October 2006 and 2007.

References
- The familiar's name and combat messages are a play on the term nervous tic.
- "Hang ten for justice!", from the first line of the familiar haiku, is a direct quote from The Tick cartoon.
- The Tick's battlecry is "SPOOOOOOOON!"
- The phrase 'My spoon is too big' comes from Don Hertzfeldt's short film Rejected, which also includes a scene where angry ticks fire out of a character's nipples.
- The Maypole combat message is a reference to the movie Stop Making Sense. In the film, a concert movie featuring Talking Heads, David Byrne does some twitchy, flailing dancing in a big suit.
