Clockwork Grapefruit

Clockwork Grapefruit

Ultraviolent,
this horrorshow familiar
spills red, red kroovy.


An attack familiar. A 10 pound clockwork grapefruit does around 9-17 damage each turn. It also causes all the fill-in-the-blank body part references (i.e. "You drop your kentucky-fried meat sword on your <body part>") to change to Nadsat slang from A Clockwork Orange.

Hatchling: unwound clockwork grapefruit

Familiar equipment: false eyelashes

The Cake-Shaped Arena weakness: Obstacle Course

  • The last line of the haiku refers to a song by Rob Zombie, called Never Gonna Stop (Red Red Kroovy), which was also used by the WWE as the entrance music for pro-wrestler Edge.
  • The word "kroovy" is similar to "krovvy," which means "blood" in the Nadsat slang used by the characters in A Clockwork Orange Also in the haiku, "horrorshow" simply means "good".
