The Swarming Brood vissi is named {{blue|Swarming Brood}} and it is a {{blue|Chimera}} vissi.
You extend your open palm before you, and centered in the midst is [1] a monstrous, soot-colored tarantula [/1]. You [2] study the specimen's every detail [/2] before [3] abruptly casting it aside [/3], then watch with [4] a mask of boredom [/4] as the discarded vermin [5] winks out of existence [/5].


This vissi notes the following ability information:
Note: Segments contained within bracketed numbers are customizable unlocks. Third-party messaging is not shown here, and although it aligns with the first-person messaging, you never know what others may see!

{{blue|Allows you to show your admiration... or disgust... for the various creepy crawlies that truly rule the jungles.}}

The vissi may have abilities you can activate by using certain verbs (RUB, TAP, PUSH, PULL, or POKE) on the vissi artifact you add them to. In order to set the activator, use ATTEND on the vissi. The vissi might not have an ability you may activate, in which case ATTEND will indicate that.

Sometimes, a vissi may have multiple abilities you can activate with the activator verbs. You can TILT the vissi to switch between them. Tilt will not respond if the vissi has only a single ability (or no abilities at all). You may only have one ability active at a time.

In addition, the vissi may have abilities with customizable messaging options. You can TURN the vissi to customize each set of options. Once on a set of options, you can TWIST the vissi to cycle through the available customizations.

Finally, some vissi may contain ambient messaging, which you can toggle on or off with COVER.

It is currently tier 1 out of 5. It is empowered by 1 thread.

The Swarming Brood vissi is a chimera vissi that is part of the vissi system. It must be placed inside an arcarium to function. As a singular vissi, it has the same effect no matter what type of arcarium houses it.

Earned in the heart of the wild, this vissi carries the essence of the jungle's most resilient life: winged, wriggling, and waiting for you.

This vissi is available as a possible prize for a successful run of the Conundrum mini-game. They are also sold for aevit. See the full upgrade costs below.

Tier 1

The vissi has "Palmed Bug" verb messaging for its activator verb, which can be set or changed via ATTEND.

Analyze

You analyze the Swarming Brood vissi and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The Swarming Brood vissi can be added to a vissi artifact in order to augment the artifact with custom abilities.  Each vissi artifact may hold up to 5 different types of vissi, and each vissi may be upgradable by adding additional vissi of the same type to the artifact.

The Swarming Brood vissi is named Swarming Brood and it is a Chimera vissi.

This vissi notes the following ability information:

Allows you to show your admiration... or disgust... for the various creepy crawlies that truly rule the jungles.

The vissi may have abilities you can activate by using certain verbs (RUB, TAP, PUSH, PULL, or POKE) on the vissi artifact you add them to.  In order to set the activator, use ATTEND on the vissi.  The vissi might not have an ability you may activate, in which case ATTEND will indicate that.

Sometimes, a vissi may have multiple abilities you can activate with the activator verbs.  You can TILT the vissi to switch between them.  Tilt will not respond if the vissi has only a single ability (or no abilities at all).  You may only have one ability active at a time.

In addition, the vissi may have abilities with customizable messaging options.  You can TURN the vissi to customize each set of options.  Once on a set of options, you can TWIST the vissi to cycle through the available customizations.

Finally, some vissi may contain ambient messaging, which you can toggle on or off with COVER.

It is currently tier 1 out of 5.  It is empowered by 1 thread.
