Combat Messages

• Regular message:

  <name> irritates the crap out of you and your opponent with his incessant high-pitched yapping.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

You hear a muffled (but still annoying) yapping from beneath the Tam.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

<Name> scoots around the maypole in his purse, yapping annoyingly the whole way around.

• With wax lips equipped:

With the wax lips clenched between his teeth, <name> produces an annoying growl instead of an annoying yapping.

Arena Messages

• <name> just yaps and yaps, not accomplishing anything except annoying everyone and everything in the vicinity.

Notes

• Increases Monster Level by floor(X/2).
  • X = familiar weight.
  • This equates to a stat gain of roughly X/8. Without familiar equipment, or with an Annoying pitchfork, a Blood-Faced Volleyball is better up to 64 pounds. With standard familiar equipment, the Volleyball is better up to 49 pounds (55/59 with the equipment).

References

• The familiar's characteristics and name are a joke at the expense of Purse Dogs. Or possibly the women who carry them.
