An actual Picori is not affected by the hat.  When the large version of the hat is attempted to be worn by a tiny Picori, the hat shrinks, but the Picori remains the same size.  In this way, the Picori can easily carry around the hat, and lend it to a large creature who wishes to join them in being tiny.

The magical effect of the Gnat Hat can also be obtained in the form of drinkable Compaction Juice.  When even one drop of Compaction Juice is drunk, the drinker will abruptly be shrunk down to Picori size, just as if the drinker was wearing the Gnat Hat.  However, the wearer will remain in this state for one hour per drop ingested, from a minimum of 1 hour to a maximum of 24 hours.
 
 
 
Obtaining the '''Compaction Juice Supply''' treasure gives the owner an effectively infinite amount of juice to drink or share with others.  the juice isn't actually infinite, the owner has enough that he will never run out so long as he uses it sparingly.  Unlike the hat, the user cannot decide at will when to grow back to his original size, but gains the benefit of being able to share the juice with others, or even impose the shrinking effect on an unwitting drinker.
 
 
 
The '''Compaction Juice Supply''' lacks the {{Field|Headgear}} field of the Gnat Hat, but gains the {{Field|Stock}} field instead.  It can be obtained in place of a Gnat Hat.

Gnat Hat
Type Utility Magical Item
Fields Headgear, Picori, Transform
Cost 25 rupees

A Gnat Hat, also known as a Minish Cap, is a peculiar piece of magical headgear. This treasure is a racial perk for Picori. As such, a Picori can choose to gain it as a perk upon character creation. If a Picori chooses to gain this perk at some point after creation, the perk costs 15 rupees less than the listed cost.

It generally appears as a red stocking cap, with a small bronze medallion embedded on the front of it. When worn, it shrinks the wearer, itself, and anything else the wearer is wearing, down to the size of a Picori (or, roughly the size of an insect). Removing the hat likewise removes the effect, and returns the user to their original size in a matter of seconds. The shrinking or growing process only takes a few seconds.

By contrast, if a Picori dons a Gnat Hat, he instead grows to match the height of a Hylian child or Kokiri, usually a little over three feet, or one meter.
