A goat pin is a scripted jewelry item that will eat items it is fed.

Warning: It will destroy the item it eats, permanently.

Analyze

You analyze your goat pin and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:
You get the feeling that your pin might like to eat things!

Any merchant may alter your goat pin, but there are some guidelines:
(1) It must be an animal of some kind, as long as the merchant is comfortable using it.
(2) The noun must be a jewelry item (like a pin, brooch, etc.) that makes sense for where the item is currently worn.
(3) It can have a long description but not a SHOW.  The alteration cannot conflict with the show that is always present.

You sense that you can use POINT, WEAR, REMOVE, RUB, and TAP to interact with the pin.  Make sure you've thought things through before you use POINT, since it permanently destroys items that the goat pin is able to eat.  Make sure you feed it when it's hungry!

You get no sense of whether or not the pin may be further lightened.

Look

The goat pin is so lifelike you almost swear it could move.  The emerald eyes seem to have a life all their own.  It is as if they were searching for food.  You aren't really sure, but you could have sworn you saw it stick its tongue out, licking its lips.  Were it alive you would judge the goat pin's condition to be starving!  It looks like it is aware of your every action!
