Combat Messages

• Regular messages:
  • <name> coos softly, and nuzzles you with his beak.
  • <name> paws at the ground for a second, and then charges your opponent, bashing him for X damage.
  • <name> squawks loudly and runs in a circle around your opponent. He looks a little bit confused.
  • <name> roots around in the ground, and comes up with some Meat. He wings it to you.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

<name> scratches on the ground and finds some meat your foe dropped in all the excitement.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

<name> does The Funky Chicken around the maypole.

• With wax lips equipped:

<name> smiles uncomfortably with his wax lips. If anyone asks, "do cocoabos have lips?", now the answer is "yes."

Arena Messages

• When entered in an Obstacle Course:

<name> is no good at the obstacle course race. Nobody is quite sure why.

Notes

• When the Cocoabo gets a LIMIT BREAK!, this increases the effect of whichever combat effect it performed that round by +50%.

References

• This familiar is a chocolatey play on the Chocobo from the Final Fantasy video game series.
• Cocoabos also occasionally have a LIMIT BREAK! These also have their origins in Final Fantasy as special combat moves. Limit Breaks are popular slang in lots of RPGs.
• The maypole message mentions the Funky Chicken, a novelty dance invented by Rufus Thomas in 1969.
• The Arena message upon entering a Cocoabo in the obstacle course race is likely a reference to the difficulty of piloting Chocobos in Final Fantasy X minigames.
