<name> shouts "Oi, ye bunch o' jobbies! How's aboot a face full of heid, ye scunner!" and headbutts your enemy for X damage.

<name> does a high-stepping highland dance. You avert your eyes as his kilt comes dangerously close to his waist level.

<name> throws his arms over his head and does a little tip-toe ballet. You'd laugh, but you like having all your bones intact.

<name> does some combination of a jig and a reel. He looks mainly like a guy in an invisible mosh pit.

<name> looks at you, horrified. "Crivens, mate!" he says. "You're no' tryin' to battle completely sober, are ye? Have a heidfull o' this!" He tosses you a bottle of absinthe.

You acquire an item: tiny bottle of absinthe (??% chance)*

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

<name> winks at you from under the Tam O'Shanter, pleased that it's the same tartan as his kilt.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

<name> does a little riverdance around the maypole, periodically head-butting it for good measure.

• With wax lips equipped:

<name> says "Crivens! I can barely breathe wi' these thingies on!" from under the wax lips.

Arena Messages

• The general green pixie approach to an obstacle is to headbutt it until it ceases to become an obstacle, which isn't an optimal strategy here.

Notes

• The Green Pixie doesn't seem to drop absinthe if you're already under the Absinthe-Minded effect.
• Tiny bottles of absinthe are limited to 5 drops per day, similar to the Astral Mushroom
• According to Mr. Skullhead, the Green Pixie has the same attack statistics as the Elemental Gravy Fairies, just dealing physical damage instead of Elemental damage.

References

• The familiar, including its image filename (pictsie.gif), is a reference to the Nac Mac Feegle, a type of fairy found in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.
• The haiku and the familiar's speech reflect a heavy highland Scottish brogue or accent, which is consistent with Pratchett's Nac Mac Feegle. Dinnae = do not, Heid = head, etc.
• Jigs and reels are both popular Scottish and Irish folk dances.
• A tartan is a pattern of plaid, historically used especially in Scotland and other Celtic countries to indicate clan and family.
• Riverdance, noted for helping to popularize Irish culture especially in the mid-'90s, is a theatrical show composed largely of rapid-movement Irish step dances.
• "Crivens" is a mild Scottish oath popularized by Oor Wullie, a comic book character central to Scottish culture since 1937.
