Exotic Parrot

From TheKolWiki

• The parrot will sometimes repeat the last thing you said in chat as its combat text.
• Without being in chat:
  
  • <name> squawks, "Awwrrk! Timmy's fallen down the well! *whistle*"
    
  • <name> squawks, "Awwrrk! Your actions are morally reprehenisble. *whistle*"
    
  • <name> squawks, "Awwrrk! Don't forget DL-6! *whistle*"
    
  • <name> sits on your shoulder, preening and otherwise unaware of what you're doing.
• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:
  • <name> winks at you and squawks "Pieces of eight! Awwrk!"
    
  • This message occurs in addition to the "without being in chat" or chat-quote message.
• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

<name> flaps around the maypole once, and then perches on top of it and preens for a bit.

• With wax lips equipped:

<name> tries to whistle at you, but the wax lips make it rather difficult.

[edit] Arena Messages

• When entered in a game of Hide and Seek:

<name> is far too brightly-colored to be an effective hider.

[edit] Notes

• Attempting to name the parrot "Polly" will result in it being named "Unoriginality." However, naming it "Polly" at Manage Familiar Names will not trigger the renaming of "Unoriginality."
• At 5 lbs (or more) the parrot meets The L33t Tr4pz0r's requirement for cold resistance.
• The Exotic Parrot is commonly a familiar of choice for PvPers as its +15 equipment can be advantageous in the "Familiar Weight" minigame.
• Due to its ability to provide elemental resistance without using an equipment slot, the Parrot proves useful in Fernswarthy's Basement.
• The Exotic Parrot provides elemental resistance based on weight according to the following table:

[edit] References

• "Don't forget DL-6" is a reference to the Nintendo DS game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Specifically, a part where the player must cross-examine a parrot to get the bird to say, "Don't forget DL-6."
• The haiku about the technicolor dreamcoat refers to the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which, in turn, is a reference to the Biblical story about Joseph and his coat of many colors.
• The message where the parrot reports Timmy having fallen down a well is a common joke made referencing Lassie.
• The message about "pieces of eight" is a reference to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, in which Captain Flint, Long John Silver's parrot, screams, "Pieces of eight."
