Description
The Super Speech Toy allows Norns (or Grendels!) to learn new words, without the aid of the computer, on the go. When the object is touched, it says a word six times, to make sure that any creatures in earshot can learn the word properly. By playing with this often enough, any Norn or Grendel can learn the complete language.
WARNING! The Super Speech Toy and other COBs that teach words are prone to aggravating a bug which exists in Creatures. This bug, known as the autosave bug, happens when the game tries to save while a creature is using the toy.

What it does:
The Super Speech Toy allows Norns (or Grendels!) on the go to learn new
words without the aid of the computer. When the object is touched, it
says a word 6 times, to make sure any creatures in earshot learn the word
properly. By playing with this often enough, any Norn or Grendel can
learn the complete language.
This is an improvement over the original Speech Toy in that it can say
any of 50 known words, not just the original 14 used by the computer. You
can teach Norns and Grendels the names of objects, vehicles, each other,
and even drives and needs. Words are arranged in four categories.
In addition, the Super Speech Toy plays a sound and has the following
effect on all Norns in earshot whenever it is played:
Need For Pleasure: -10
Boredom: -10
How to use it:
Creature activation:
When a Norn or Grendel touches the speech toy, it plays a random
word out of the complete list of 50.
