The item drop bonus formula (in percent) follows the following equation:

Item drop bonus = (55 × weight)0.5 + weight - 3

• The item drop bonus is half the meat drop bonus received from leprechauns.
• There exists a stuffed version of this familiar.
• Prior to NS13, the item drop increase from this familiar was +2.5% per pound.
