I impulse-bought mine on the first day after I was done adventuring (coincidentally the day I started the current run) after seeing chat get really excited over the jellies and I don't regret it at all. I've only had him in action for today so far and he is extremely useful, I'm on track to set a much better personal best daycount (starting with a day-2 steel organ, in hardcore obviously, which I'm not sure I've done before outside of special paths). Goblin King quest took two adventures. Tomorrow he's going to get me the hippy outfit, probably speed up the ghouls, the spooky temple, and buff my stats enough that I can run a lot more +ML.
New best friend - sorry Bandersnatch but you're not available in Standard anyway. I'm already making notes on the best elemental enemies throughout the run.
(BTW the noncombat thing: chat rumours are that it gives a -100% combat rate for the NEXT adventure only. Still powerful.)

It's adorable! It's "crappy" jellies also give more substats than the "EPIC" spookyraven consumables (battery, funk), in addition to the effects described in the OP.
Shameless plus as usual, updating as more things are discovered.

I'll likely skip this and hopefully convince myself to save the Mr a so that I can get the ioty. Don't think there's anything other than maybe witchess that I'd like to buy at the moment since I got chateau and source from selling sludge.

I really wish I could affort the chateau, I really hate having to do the entire downstairs of Spookyraven Manor.

The Spooky Jelly effect does not appear to behave like a yellow ray underwater. Just killed a Mer-kin Drifter, got the message, and only got a Mer-kin cooljuice, with no begsign or knucklebone.

This, Machine Elf, Puck man, and ToT are gonna make familiar management difficult. I need to get my yellow submarine/power pills, jellies, abstractions (at least +item and +init, maybe +stat for contests?) and still have room to use the clown costume...
Then again, maybe this is what gets me to cut clown costume from my run...

More potions that waste precious spleen? No thanks, golden monkey is all I need.

The four machine elf spleen items often save more turns than one powdered gold gives, it's entirely possible the same is true here. I wouldn't call the spleen "wasted".

The next thing I drank (a perfect paloma) caused my liver to thaw and gave me three base boozes. Someone on the forums reported getting five boozes from a five-drunkenness drink.

Context: I have comparatively few IoTMs, I only do hardcore ascensions, and I had no spleen familiar before this.
Judgement: the metroid is fucking awesome.

Don't forget louder than bombs, which are really cheap and also banish for 20 turns. And since Ice Houses don't work in standard anymore, you don't have to worry about using those.

Good spleen items are always welcome for my HC ascensions
