- FamID: The familiar's in-game ID number
- H1, H2, H3: The three lines of the haiku of the familiar's description, as it appears in the Kingdom.
- Note: This is the familiar's description from clicking it in the terrarium, not the hatchling's item description.
- Ability: The blue text that appears in-game, under the familiar's haiku, typically a very brief description of the familiar's effect.
- Function: A more thorough description of the familiar's game mechanics.
- Throne: The effect of the familiar in the Crown of Thrones, both the static effect (listed on the Throne itself) and the in-combat effect.
- Hatchling: What item is used to acquire this familiar.
- Equipment: What familiar equipment is unique to this familiar?
- Arena parameters, which are values from 0-3:
- ucm: The familiar's rating in the Ultimate Cage Match
- hns: The familiar's rating in Hide and Seek
- oc: The familiar's rating in the Obstacle Course
- sh: The familiar's rating in a Scavenger Hunt
- The name, image, and gender for the familiar are stored on the familiar's metadata page, linked from the upper-right corner of the page. After inserting the familiar template into a page, follow the "Create metadata" link to create the metadata page for the familiar. For more information on this, see Established Standards: Data Pages.

Combat Messages
- The heading is already provided for you from the template.
- Bullet all messages.
- First list normal combat messages, then with the Lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped, and so on with the Mr. Store equipment, in that order.
