You analyze your snow white bear and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has restrictions on changing the noun."
The creator has also provided the following information:
This is a
Tier 3/3 stufimals of the URSINE group.
Available verbs are:
HUG, KISS, PINCH, POKE, PULL, RUB, SNARL, WHISPER/LISTEN, and TURN.
To store a message for another player, simply WHISPER <ITEM> <CHARACTER> <MESSAGE>. This must be a character currently in the lands. You can then hand the item to them and they can LISTEN <ITEM> to retrieve the message.
You can also WHISPER <ITEM> <CHARACTER NAME> WITHOUT a message, and send your bear off to give them a special little peck on the ankle.
If you wish to change the demeanor of your bear, simply TURN it. This one is set to an EVIL demeanor. This snow white bear is of the URSINE group. A merchant could change it to one of the following: bear, boar, chimera, badger, hippopotamus, and warhorse.
You get no sense of whether or not the bear may be further lightened.
