Combat Messages

With pet rock "Snooty" disguise equipped:
- <name>'s monocle flies off in surprise! (After a critical hit.)

When attempting to have this familiar battle in the Arena, Susie gives the message: "Since the Arena doesn't have a 'sitting motionless, doing absolutely nothing' event, there's probably no point in allowing your pet rock to compete." (Although the thought occurs it would probably be pretty good at hide and seek... the hiding part, at least.)
A Pet Rock does nothing at all, similar to a real pet rock, but it can at the very least contribute to a few trophies that require familiar weight.
While it doesn't say anything special text for the wax lips, miniature gravy-covered maypole, or lucky Tam O'Shanter it still gives the effects of each item. In other words if you equip a pet rock with wax lips you have the equivalent of a 10 lb. volleyball.
Its familiar equipment adds 11 pounds.

The fact that this rock only has one eye makes it a cyclops rock, which is of course a reference to the TMBG song of the same name.
The haiku refers to the proverb, "A rolling stone gathers no moss."

-*The message with the monocle may reference to a Simpsons episode where, after being surprised, a character would repeatedly drop his monocle. It may also simply refer to the difficulty of keeping a monocle in place.  {{NeedsReview}}
