Sweet nutcracker

sweet nutcracker Dude, this is one sweet nutcracker! It's basically a machine for crushing nuts (stop snickering) disguised as a cute little soldier in a curiously lacy uniform. When you pull the lever in his back, his jaws open and close with a loud 'clop.' It kind of sounds like a one-legged horse, or a guy holding one-fourth of a coconut shell. Hatches into: Sweet Nutcracker Type: familiar Cannot be discarded Free pull from Hagnk's (In-game plural: sweet nutcrackers)

When Used

You decide to name him Stasevelt.
