Help: Skitter What is it? Skitter is a dog-sized spider drone with a turret, a targeting laser, and questionable morals. It belongs to exactly one person: the reigning PvP Arena champion. Who gets it? Only arena winners. Win the arena and Skitter comes clattering over to follow you. When someone else takes the title, Skitter leaves you for them without a backward glance. If you are not the champion, you cannot own, buy, charm, or borrow Skitter. If you log out, or you and Skitter get separated, it finds its way back to the champion within a few minutes. Scaling Skitter adapts to whoever it is hanging out with. It sizes up its owner and tunes itself to match, so a seasoned champion gets a seasoned sidekick. As you grow, Skitter grows with you. Equipment Skitter can wear gear built just for it, and that gear is scattered out in the world. Only Skitter can wear these parts. When you find one, give it to Skitter and it straps the part on itself. Different parts give it different tricks: combat hardware, field medicine, utility tools, and at least one piece that is purely about dignity. Skitter keeps its gear when ownership changes hands. Sidekick Syntax: sidekick Parks Skitter temporarily. If Skitter is following you, sidekick sends it off to wait somewhere safe, with its gear and anything it has picked up still on it. Type sidekick again to call it back. It rejoins you within a few minutes. Parking Skitter does not give up your title. Skitter is only waiting for you. See Also: boneyard, give
