Crusty Sock

A stiff, ancient sock worn around the neck — the kind that stands up on its own. Whatever has been accumulating inside it has taken on a life of its own: Crusty Sock spawns something at the start of every battle, providing an immediate ally or hazard before the first turn. The exact spawn may vary, but the reliable batch of extra presence at battle start makes it a strong opener item for any cat that benefits from more bodies on the field.
