A Gnat Hat, also known as a Minish Cap, is a peculiar piece of magical headgear. 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.
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.
Variant
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. While 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 lakes the Headgear field of the Gnat Hat, but gains the Stock field instead.
Trivia

- The variant is an original creation of one of Hyrule Castle's members. Its concept is credited to Guy.
