5. Operating Instructions
The Fingerlings Untamed T-Rex Scratch is designed to be interactive. It has two main modes: Untamed (ferocious) and Tamed (friendly). You can switch between these modes through interaction.
5.1 Basic Interactions
- Clinging to Finger: The T-Rex is designed to grip onto your finger or other thin objects. Its claws are shaped to hold securely.
- Petting: Gently pet the T-Rex's head. It may purr, roar, or make other sounds depending on its mood.
- Shaking: Gently shake your T-Rex. This can trigger different reactions, sometimes making it more "untamed."
- Upside Down: Hang your T-Rex upside down by its tail. It will react with unique sounds and movements.
- Roaring: Press the sensor on its head or mouth to make it roar.
- Blowing Kisses: Blow into its face sensor (usually near the nose or mouth) to elicit a "kiss" sound.
- Sleeping: Lay your T-Rex down on its back or leave it undisturbed for a period, and it may fall asleep, snoring or making soft sounds.

5.2 Untamed vs. Tamed Mode
Your T-Rex can be fierce or friendly. Different interactions will shift its mood:
- Untamed Mode: Petting its nose, shaking it, or making loud noises can make it roar, chomp, and act ferociously. Its eyes may change color to red or yellow.
- Tamed Mode: Gently petting its head or blowing into its face can calm it down, making it purr, coo, and act friendly. Its eyes may change color to blue or green.
