Combat Messages
  • Regular Message:
<name> smiles approvingly.
<name> winks at you. Which is very, very disconcerting.
<name> does a couple of floating laps around the maypole.
<name> smiles extra hard with the help of his wax lips.

Arena Messages

  • When entered in an Ultimate Cage Match:
<name>, not having any teeth, claws, or weapons, is not particularly well-suited for this event.

Notes

  • Sombrero vs Volleyball contains information about when Sombreros and Volleyball-type familiars are best for stat gains based on familiar weights and monster level.
  • Since you can't gain a fraction of a stat point, what actually happens is that an entire stat point is awarded a fraction of the time. For example, if you have a 15-pound volleyball and should therefore receive 3.75 stats, you will always receieve 3 stats, and will receive a 4th stat 75% of the time.

References

  • This familiar is a reference to the 2000 movie, Cast Away, in which the character played by Tom Hanks is stranded on an island and obtains a volleyball from one the packages he was delivering. He painted a face on the volleyball and named it Wilson. He even spoke to it. To encourage creativity amongst its players, KoL will not let you name your volleyball Wilson. You can, however, use the name Wilson in conjuction with another name.
