What - even is that monstrosity? I probably live under a rock, but what unholy place did that abomination spawn from?

It was created due to an inside joke between me and my pals
Ok then. I won’t ask further questions. -Book

- Pirate cave has a chance of spawning an island with dancing crabs which is a reference to the music video of Crab Rave by Noisestorm.
- The Crab Samurai’s description is also a reference to Crab Rave.
-
The Genie from Ancient Ruins spawns from a lamp, a reference to that common trope and possibly more specifically the tale Aladdin. -
The UT weapon Comet of Calamity’s description states of a “great alien lord Nizos” which when spelt backwards references Sozin’s comet from the animated series Avatar: the Last Airbender.

Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum isn’t directly a reference to How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It might be in that movie, but I’m pretty sure this is a reference to the fairytale Jack and The Beanstalk where the husband giant makes those noises when he’s coming home to wife giant xd

I’m gonna do a little exclusive challenge here: whoever finds out all the remaining references I made on some pet skins/char skins (minimum of 3) gets a prod skin request for january (and you’ll get it when it gets in the game).
Skin/pet skin basis, description and titles, everything works
I cannot add fanmade skins, btw.
dm me on Discord bonk#0438
Just to clarify: there’s still 2 vanity drops until january so there’ll be more to come

I’m sure all of these are found, but just in case:
The 10th rogue description could be a reference to this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SmTHUAF9bwg
Mini pirate st set skin: reference to the lyrics of pirate king by David wise
Presidential paladin: description could be a reference to bob the builder.

K these are probably found too, but ya never know:
Dante trickster skin is obviously a reference to the book Dante’s Inferno
Playful demon trickster could be a reference to a two book series playful demons.
Rom trickster: sprite looks like somebody from the emo music genre
Virgil rockstar of the abyss description is a Latin proverb fortune favors the bold. Who knew learning Latin would come in handy…
