Notes

• This skill can only be used when the Stomping Boots give their "stomping" message at the beginning of combat. Once used, the message will disappear until the boots have recharged.
• Using this skill instantly kills the opponent, except for bosses and certain special monsters. The enemy will not drop any items or meat. This includes items that normally have a 100% drop rate, quest items, and items for the bounty hunter hunter.
• The player does not receive any stats for a stomped monster. Familiars and Pasta Guardians gain experience as usual.
• Special events that are triggered by a monster's death generally do occur:
  • Screambats scream.
  • Zones in The Cyrpt become less evil.
  • You might find a beer lens from an Unemployed knob goblin.
  • Island War allies make their kills.
  • Slimes may drop a chamois. If they previously swallowed a piece of equipment, the appropriate slime-covered item can drop.
  • Adventuring underwater consumes an extra turn (when not Fishy).
  • You might find teeth for a Fossilized necklace, when applicable.
  • You earn a Clan Trophy from the C. H. U. M. chieftain.
  • You get stats from Antiphon, modified by moon sign and/or April Shower buff.
  • Crates still drop items as usual.
  • The loose coalition of yetis, snowmen, and goats will drop a tiny frozen prehistoric meteorite jawbreaker, if the other conditions are met.
  • If in Birdform, the special Birdform drops can still occur.
  • The Li'l Businessman Kit can still activate, giving you the appropriate currency for the area.
• Against boss monsters and some unique monsters, this skill does not provide an instant kill and paste drop; instead, it deals damage and displays the following message:

<Familiar name> shuffles its heels, gets a running start, then leaps on <him> and stomps mightily for X damage.

• The player gets a consumable spleen item based on the monster's type. Each paste gives both adventures and substats roughly equivalent to spleen items dropped by past Mr. Store familiars.
  • They give 5–10 adventures, the same as coffee pixie sticks or bottles of agua de vida and slightly less than glimmering roc feathers.
  • They give slightly less substats than glimmering roc feathers or globs of groose grease.
• Using a paste also grants you a bonus effect. The following is a table of the pastes and their effects:
