Spooky Putty ball
So you took your egg of Spooky Putty and rolled it into a sphere. I'd make fun of your lack of creativity, but I know you're going to have a blast bouncing this thing off of walls, floors, ceilings, enemies, innocent passers-by, that sort of thing.
I won't warn you not to taunt it, because it's Spooky Putty -- it can issue its own warnings. I'll just pray you survive them.

Notes
- On a critical hit against a monster, if equipped in the mainhand, one of the following ricochets will occur:
The ball ricochets off your familiar (don't worry, it doesn't look hurt), and smashes into <it> again for 10-20 (+10) damage.
The ball ricochets off a tin duck in a nearby shooting gallery, then smashes into <it> again for 10-20 (+10) damage.
The ball ricochets on a nearby set of sing-along lyrics, and you follow it as it smashes into <it> again for 10-20 (+10) damage.
The ball ricochets off of a dunk tank's target (with predictably hilarious results), then smashes into <it> again for 10-20 (+10) damage.
- 33% of the time, a second ricochet will follow the first:
The ball ricochets off of a pricey-looking horse statue, then smashes into <it> again for 10-20 (+10) damage. See, this is why mom always says, "don't play ball in the house."
The ball ricochets off Old Man Johnson's basement window (uh-oh!), then smashes into <it> again, doing 10-20 (+10) damage.
The ball ricochets off some blond girl's nose, then smashes into <it> again for 10-20 (+10) damage.
The ball rolls up one of your arms and down the other, then smashes into <it> again for 10-20 (+10) damage. Sweet Georgia Brown, that was awesome!
- There is a 33% chance a third ricochet will follow the second:
The ball ricochets off of the first domino in a long, painstakingly-assembled line, then strikes <it> again for 10-20 (+10) damage.
The ball ricochets off a nearby oven, and the souffle within falls comedically as the ball hits <it> for 10-20 (+10) damage.
The ball ricochets off of a nearby gong, starting a jungle boogie as it smashes into <it> again for 10-20 (+10) damage.
The ball ricochets off of a painstakingly-crafted house of cards, then smashes into <it> again for 10-20 (+10) damage.
