Read the native kind description at inspection
Palm-sized papery pod with concentric copper mineral rings, a green central seam and tiny pale kernels visible only in the open form. Seven uneven lobes open around a small warm centre. Tiny pale kernels remain attached inside; there is no explosive burst, electric weapon or blinding sun. A dry rattle becomes a seven-position phrase, then a generous bright cluster. This chorus form represents a seed-sized sun. Sound design: Seed shaker, woody marimba and root brass. Native use and wake write its own small state. Its soft reach marks matching answer forms with a pulse. No native audio or automatic image animation.
Named native traits at inspection: wo2-thunderseed-chorus-voice. The guide does not independently test these behaviours.
