Talk:Baby Bugged Bugbear

--Shao Mi 13:44, 1 April 2010 (UTC)I think it does a little bit of all the basic familiars. - slasher88die

I'll add this here as well as on the equipment as the Bugged balaclava seems to make the baby bugged bugbear act as a volley/sombrero each round instead of random. --RebusSohal

Yeah, hears the impression I have so far:

• Familiar equipment is obtained from the arena for free. Base version gives +10 lbs., but it can be freely transformed into the balaclava, which gives +20 ML instead and changes familiar behavior.

Not just the balaclava -- the beanie itself appears to make it into a potato, at least. Got this message: "[name] //ℵ±entangles your opponent with powerful vines, preventing him from attacking you." --acm, 10:35 (EST), 1 April 2010

• Familiar is always a potato + something.
• Without the balaclava, the something changes each combat. I've seen whelp, volley, leprechaun, fairy. It also has some small chance of turning your opponent into a frog (and possibly the other CLEESH monsters), and of dropping a random item after combat (seen a vampire heart and a seal-clubbing club so far), in addition to the other effects.

Just got a salamander, so yeah, probably all CLEESH monsters possible.--Salien 05:45, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Got a frog, looking like it does them all. --RebusSohal

• With the balaclava on, it's a straight potato-volley combo. Since the familiar equipment is free and gives +20 ML on top of this, seems like a pretty useful HC idea...--Salien 05:41, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Are we sure about the potato? I got potato with the beanie, but have not gotten a single entangle since switching to the balaclava -- perhaps you trade one functionality for the other? still potentially useful... -acm, 10:57 (EST), 1 April 2010

Seeing as how people are able to spade this today, is it perchance immune to transforming into the April Fools Familiars? --TimRem 06:11, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Yup. It isn't effected by April. --Bale 07:22, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

What about the tiny costume wardrobe? I'm in HC and can't test right away.--Fluxxdog 16:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

I've seen it act as a fairy, a volleyball, a ghoul whelp, and nothing at the end of combat. Presumably leprechaun is in there too. I've also gotten toast.

With the "winks at you" message, I had just beaten the huge ghuol, and got a total of 645 meat at 18 pounds. The only meat boost I had at the time were stainless steel slacks (20%). If it did copy a Leprechaun, at 18 pounds, that would be about 92.9% bonus. With a range of 258-344 meat for the base kill, adding in the 20% (total 112.9%), we come with a adjusted range of 549-732. However, given the message makes reference to the MMG, it might be possible that they are doubling it and subtracting .1%. If only the 20% were factored, it'd leave a range of 309-412 meat. 323 doubled is 646, minus .1% (.6 meat rounded up to 1 meat) would give 645. Any conclusive evidence?--Fluxxdog 16:30, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Naming

Renamed mine "ʇןnɐɟbǝs" and it changes to "Êtimes;ÉEacute;Ç". Similar effects for "ɔıuɐd" and anything else with 'upside down' characters. If I use regular (non-upside down names) it seems to leave it alone? I'm using http://www.fliptext.org/ to flip the text over if someone else wants to try it. --Stewmoni 12:39, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Random item drops

...for the sake of cleanliness, let's keep a nice list of the confirmed items the familiar drops at the end of combat. I can personally confirm the first three. --Ephesos 06:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

• seal-clubbing club
• vampire heart
• toast
• plastic passion fruit --Yunatwilight 09:51, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
