I haven't heard anybody talk about the Animated Tri-Corn hat for at least a year. It used to be a Crowns item that could be purchased from Prospector Zeke and used by level 15+. It's since been retired and isn't available anymore. I believe that's the same hat that was errantly called the "Animated Tri-Fold".

The hat was probably retired because it gave the Level 28 Death spell "Animate" and was thus considered too strong for its level.

I find this quite ironic now, since the Ianthine Spectre readily available in the Crown Shop (albeit at a high price) possesses Animate, and neither the Wizard nor Pet need to do any game-work to use it. I actually like the idea though; it is something different from the crappy elemental (Fire,Ice,Storm) Minions, and compliments Life Wizards well when they fight other Life creatures.
I wouldn't consider the spell too strong because other wizards would only be able to summon up to an 800 HP Death Minion with it, since Power Pips do not register. But I could see why they would have wanted to retire the item, because most of the Astral gear really was overpowered.
