Fuck if I know.<\/p>\n<p>This month&#8217;s KoL IoTM offering is the <a href=\"http:\/\/kol.coldfront.net\/thekolwiki\/index.php\/Gibberer\">Squamous Gibberer<\/a>.

I love Potatoes and Whelps, and the Wild Hare is one of two familiars whose functionality I liked and I wished I had. (The other being the <a href=\"http:\/\/kol.coldfront.net\/thekolwiki\/index.php\/Doppelshifter\">Doppelshifter<\/a>.) Now that I have this and the <a href=\"http:\/\/kol.coldfront.net\/thekolwiki\/index.php\/Tiny_costume_wardrobe\">Tiny Costume Wardrobe<\/a>, I&#8217;ve got every really rare thing I would pretend I would actually need. (Not that I&#8217;m going to turn down something else, if you offer it to me! I&#8217;ll take it!)<\/p>\n<p>This is never really going to be bleeding edge, though, because potato and whelp action is just never going to be optimal. If you&#8217;re a good, optimal player, you shouldn&#8217;t need the healing or the attack blocking. You should be prepared for them anyway. The additional turns are likely not going to be worth it, either, especially when you&#8217;re needing to run turns with, say, your <a href=\"http:\/\/kol.coldfront.net\/thekolwiki\/index.php\/Baby_Sandworm\">Baby Sandworm<\/a> to get spleen turn items. Not to mention, apparently, before a buff, it was actually pretty close in power to the <a href=\"http:\/\/kol.coldfront.net\/thekolwiki\/index.php\/Cuddlefish\">Cuddlefish<\/a>. I still say it&#8217;s worth it for me, as the flavor is just fun as hell and I want that Wild Hare functionality, but maybe for the cheaper among us, just using the Cuddlefish would probably suffice.<\/p>\n<p>But fuck, I&#8217;m happy with it. It&#8217;s a tiny Cthulhu that whispers in your ear, does the two familiar functions I love, plus gives me more turns. That&#8217;s a good Mr. Familiar to me. That&#8217;s the kind of familiar that&#8217;s going to make me want to make one more run in order to test it out, and that&#8217;s the exact reason I donate for these things.<br \/>\nSo there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do I even do these reviews anymore?
