**After combat:
**:<name> does a high-stepping highland dance. You avert your eyes as his kilt comes dangerously close to his waist level.
**:<name> throws his arms over his head and does a little tip-toe ballet. You'd laugh, but you like having all your bones intact.
**:<name> does some combination of a jig and a reel. He looks mainly like a guy in an invisible mosh pit.
**:<name> looks at you, horrified. "Crivens, mate!" he says. "You're no' tryin' to battle completely sober, are ye? Have a heidfull o' this!" He tosses you a bottle of absinthe. {{acquire|item=tiny bottle of absinthe}}
*Enthroned in the [[Crown of Thrones]]:

*Bjornified in the [[Buddy Bjorn]]:

*:<name> winks at you from under the Tam O'Shanter, pleased that it's the same tartan as his kilt.
*With [[miniature gravy-covered maypole]] equipped:
*:<name> does a little riverdance around the maypole, periodically head-butting it for good measure.
*With [[wax lips]] equipped:

==Arena Messages==
*When entered in an Obstacle Course:
*:The general green pixie approach to an obstacle is to headbutt it until it ceases to become an obstacle, which isn't an optimal strategy here.

== Notes ==
*The bottles of absinthe drop a maximum of five times a day.
*The Green Pixie doesn't drop absinthe if you're already under the [[Absinthe-Minded]] effect.

*Similar to the [[Rogue Program]] with [[Game Grid token|Game Grid Tokens]] and [[Llama Lama]] with [[llama lama gong]]s, or the [[Baby Sandworm]] with [[agua de vida]], the base drop rate on tiny bottles of absinthe per day decreases for every additional absinthe you get, but for each turn you spend and do not get an absinthe, the drop rate for that absinthe increases by 5 percentage points.

*This familiar will attack 1/3 of the time, regardless of the weight. It does int(X/2) to X in damage (regardless of the message seen) where X is the familiar's weight. The three attack messages are equally likely.

==References==
*The familiar, including its image filename (pictsie.gif), is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Nac Mac Feegle|Nac Mac Feegle]], a type of fairy found in the ''[[Wikipedia:Discworld|Discworld]]'' series by [[Wikipedia:Terry Pratchett|Terry Pratchett]].
*The name of the familiar and the [[Wikipedia:Absinthe|absinthe]] ability are references to another name for absinthe, ''La Fée Verte'', French for "The Green Fairy".
*The haiku and the familiar's speech reflect a heavy highland [[Wikipedia:Scottish Gaelic|Scottish]] brogue or accent, which is consistent with Pratchett's Nac Mac Feegle.  ''Dinnae'' = do not, ''Heid'' = head, ''Fash'' = worry, etc.
*Jigs and reels are both popular Scottish and Irish folk dances.
*A [[Wikipedia:Tartan|tartan]] is a pattern of plaid, historically used especially in [[Wikipedia:Scotland|Scotland]] and other Celtic countries to indicate clan and family.
*''[[Wikipedia:Riverdance|Riverdance]]'', noted for helping to popularize Irish culture especially in the mid-'90s, is a theatrical show composed largely of rapid-movement Irish step dances.
*"Crivens" is a mild Scottish oath popularized by [[Wikipedia:Oor Wullie|Oor Wullie]], a comic book character central to Scottish culture since 1937.
*The "schemie" referred to in the first quote is an insult prevalent in the Edinburgh area to denote those of a lower class or intellectual level, who usually live in a Council Housing Scheme, known for being poor or rough areas.  
*The attack message about averting your eyes as the pixie's kilt gets higher refers to the legend that Scottish warriors wouldn't wear any underwear, apparently to terrify their opponents (if they could cope with cold wind blowing up their kilt then they could cope with pain in battle).
