  • <name> has turned against you.

  • <name> laughs at you while your back is turned. Betrayal is inevitable.
  • <name> plots against you in secret.
  • Abandon your insignificant struggle.
  • Are you watching the stars? Yes, you watch, but you do not see. He watches. He sees.
  • Beneath your feet the sunken cities lie in wait. One day they will rise.
  • Do you trust <name>? You shouldn't.
  • Even now little <name> plots against you.
  • Everything you care for will be smothered and extinguished.
  • Futility. You live in purposeless futility.
  • The gate was open once, and it will open again soon.

  • Hope is an illusion.
  • The King is dead! Long live the King!
  • The shadows coalesce around you. Can you feel it? The choking, the shortness of breath?

The name in the above messages is the name of one of your other familiars or a member of your contact list.

• The word squamous means "scaly", hence the "scaly tentacles."
• The "you feel time slow down" message occurs every 15 combats, and for each time that it appears, you receive an extra adventure at rollover.

References

• The default name for this familiar will always have a "Cth-" at the beginning of it, furthering the Cthulhu reference.
• This familiar's appearance is likely inspired by the promachoteuthis sulcus squid which appears to have an unsettling human-like mouth.
• The messages that appear in chat are a reference to Whispers of the Old Gods, specifically those of Yogg-Saron, a similarly tentacled monster from World of Warcraft.
• Also resembles the gibbering mouther, a monster from Dungeons and Dragons.
