Category:Familiars

A familiar is a creature that assists an adventurer in various ways, such as attacking enemies, helping earn more Meat or items, regaining HP or MP, or increasing your stat gains from battles.

To get a familiar, you must first have a Familiar-Gro™ Terrarium installed at your campground. Then "use" the hatchling form of the familiar to place it in your Terrarium. You may have one of each type of familiar, and you may have one familiar accompany you at a time.

When you first acquire a familiar, it is automatically assigned a default name. It is possible, in fact, encouraged, to rename your familiar - part of the fun of having familiars is giving them their own unique and whimsical names.

Familiars gain their own experience when you defeat a monster. Regardless of the level of the opponent, one kill is one experience point. As their experience increases, they gain weight, to a maximum of 20 pounds. Familiars may also gain experience at the Arena. To help you maximize weight gain at the arena, try the Kingdom of Loathing Familiar Tool.

The base weight (without Familiar Equipment or effects) of a familiar is equal to the square root of the number of kills (weight = kills^1/2) with the minimum weight possible being 1 lb and the maximum being 20 lbs. You may increase the effective weight of your familiar in several ways: using some types of familiar equipment, equipping various tiny plastic accessories, gaining the effect of Empathy, or having the Turtle Tamer skill Amphibian Sympathy. A Pastamancer may also increase the weight of their own familiars by casting Leash of Linguini. For a comprehensive list of everything in the game that changes the weight of your familiar, see Familiar Weight.

A collection of familiar effect data, compiled by FFiXMaster, is available on Coldfront.
