Has this bug been reported before? No, not to my knowledge.
Type of bug (Game crash/black screen, glitch, graphical error, typo, etc.): Paralysis error
Bug details: Pickled Punk Z pet fails to paralyze the monster about half of the times it should. There are two attack types, the blue and the yellow attack. The yellow attack has a 10% chance to paralyses the monster when it hits. When the yellow attack hits and the paralysis effect occurs there is a text box that opens and states "Your enemy is paralyzed by the weirdness of the pickled punk!" About half of the time this effect does not occur. The text box appears but the monster is not paralyzed. Just to make sure, I played through hundreds of attacks with varied equipment and monsters. The error rate was about the same, half the time it works and the other it does not. Take note of the failed paralysis screens, the monster is not marked with the red circle with a line through it at the bottom right where as the successful paralyses are marked with the red circle.
Before bug occurred: All was well in Lore.
During Bug: No one noticed but me, I doubt many players even use this pet (old, z-token) or know it paralyzes since its not listed under pets the paralyze in the status change" section. Will discuss with section mod.
After bug: The monster attacked me with great delight.
Pet/Guest Bugged: Pickled Punk Z
Other Equipment: varied and many
Screenshot link: What it looks like when the yellow attack hits properly.( 1 2 ) What it looks like when the yellow attack misses properly.( 1 2 ) What it looks like when the paralysis works properly.( 1 2 3 ) What it looks like when the paralysis does not work properly, pay special attention to the water dragon who is actually attacking me in the picture even as the text box is still active stating its paralyzed! ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 )

Oh, I see what's happening. Normally, the monster has an [END*2/5]% chance of resisting the paralysis. (Those dragons you're fighting have 150 END, so they should be resisting 60% of the time.) Normally, if the monster resists, then you get the message "Your foe resists the paralyzing attack!". Unfortunately, the Punk displays its own message immediately after trying to paralyse the monster, so its own message overwrites the paralysis's "Your foe resists..." message.
It should be working as intended (I got 5/5 paralysises against a monster with 0 END, and 0/5 paralysises against a monster with 700 END). The only problem is that the message is very player-unfriendly. I'll report it as a bug and see if anything happens. Thanks for the report! ~In Media Res
