Ghyll:Tuckagotcha

Gotcha, Tuckagotcha! (Gotta dib 'em all...) --Dfaran L'Eniarc 21:00, 2 Oct 2005 (EDT)

Tuckagotchas, or Virtual Pets, were part of a clever mind-control scheme set up by a group of militant Xurientals in late -3 EC.

Unlike the needy "virtual pet" Tuckagotcha, which trained the owner how to care for and be subservient to their future automaton masters, the Underuse utilizes a much more passive conquest techique: comfort. It accomplishes this two ways:

Despite this, trade expeditions travel there regularly carrying darseed, Ooo, luminous manuscripts, chukarando fur and other goods, and return with Underuse, Tuckagotchas, crafts and vlorm.

Other examples of things that are Grupfish are Tuckagotchas, which are called Virtual Pets but do not in fact look anything like real pets, and yesticale worms, which don't look anything like yesticales.
