  • Damage (regardless of message) is X/2 rounded up to X+6, where X is the familiar weight.
  • The grapefruit attacks 50% of the time, regardless of weight. Each of its attacks are equally likely.

References

  • The name of this familiar is a pun on the Anthony Burgess book A Clockwork Orange which provided the original story for the Stanley Kubrick cult classic film of the same name.
  • This familiar's haiku also alludes to Alex, the main character of A Clockwork Orange, who found pleasure in acts of extreme violence (among other things), which he called ultraviolence.
  • The "Singing in the Rain" line refers to a scene in the movie where Alex terrorizes an old man while singing that song.
  • The last line of the haiku refers to a song by Rob Zombie, called Never Gonna Stop (Red Red Kroovy), which was also used by the WWE as the entrance music for pro-wrestler Edge.
  • The word "kroovy" is similar to "krovvy," which means "blood" in the Nadsat slang used by the characters in A Clockwork Orange Also in the haiku, "horrorshow" simply means "good".
  • The default name for this familiar (unlike "Tort" or another similar name) is "6655321", which is Alex's prisoner ID number in the novel (in the movie, his number is "655321").
