Template:Itemheader Dude, this is one sweet nutracker! It's basically a machine for crushing nuts (stop snickering) disguised as a cute little soldier in a curiously lacy uniform. When you pull the lever in his back, his jaws open and close with a loud 'clop.' It kind of sounds like a one-legged horse, or a guy holding one-fourth of a coconut shell.

Type: familiar
Cannot be discarded

Notes

When Used

You put the sweet nutcracker in your Familiar-Gro™ Terrarium.
It snaps at your other familiars, then does a strange, stiff-legged little dance, which, given that it has no knees, is not actually all that strange.
