Combat Messages
- Regular message(s):
- <name> drills into your skull and siphons out some of your blood, to the tune of X damage.
- <name> swoops at your head, but you duck just in time.
- <name> drills into <his/her/its> skull (or skull-analogue) and siphons out X HP worth of its blood.
- <name> swoops at <him/her/it>, but misses.
- With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:
- <name> drills into your opponent's wallet and siphons out some extra meat.
- With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:
- <name> floats around the maypole a few times, whirring musically.
- With wax lips equipped:
- <name> bobs up and down in the air, with the wax lips stuck to its front. This is not the strangest thing you've ever seen, but it's close.
Arena Messages
- When entered in Hide and Seek:
- <name> doesn't seem to be very good at hiding -- it keeps swooping out at anything it thinks looks like an ice-cream man. Which is most things, apparently.
Notes
- There exists a stuffed version of this familiar.
- Acts every round.
- Without a tuning fork, this familiar attacks the monster 66% of the time, and the player 33% of the time.
- With a tuning fork equipped, this familiar attacks the monster 80% of the time, and the player 20% of the time.
- It will succeed in its attack 10 * ceiling(X/6)% of the time, where X is the familiar's weight. This means between 1 and 6 pounds, it hits 10% of the time; from 13-18 it hits 30% of the time. Theoretically, a 55-pound Scary Death Orb will not miss.
- Regardless of opponent, a Scary Death Orb will do int(X/2)+2 to X+2 in damage, where X is the weight of the familiar.
- Damage to monsters is (spooky damage).
- Damage to players is physical.
References
- The familiar is an homage to the shiny, flying kill-bit-sporting death balls called Sentinel Spheres by fans of the Phantasm horror movie series from which they originate.
- The arena message given when entering the Scary Death Orb into Hide and Seek is likely a reference to one of Phantasm's protagonists, Reggie (played by Reggie Bannister), who works as an ice cream vendor.
- Scary Death Orb is an anagram of Carbohydrates.
