A Ravenous Locut scroll (Famine) enables the use of the Famine special move for a Ravenous locust. Using the pouch on a Summoning obelisk creates 10 scrolls and gives 1.5 experience.

Famine

A player activating the scroll.

Famine is the special move for the Ravenous locust, which allows the locust to "eat" a piece of the opponent's food (Bandages are NOT considered food). It is activated using a Ravenous Locut scroll (Famine) and uses 12 special move points. Activating it gives 1.5 experience.

When activated, a swarm appears and surrounds the target.

Trivia

• During remote view, its examine information changes to "If it starts drooling, people will think it is raining".
• If you activate remote view while the Ravenous Locust familiar is at low life points, it gets fully healed.
• The dialogue is a possible reference to the 1960s anti-war slogan "make love, not war".
