From: Assemble a Skeleton

It fits neatly behind the existing torso.

Game Instructions: This will add two more joints to your skeleton. It will still need a tail. The required amount of brass will increase as you add more segments.

Unlocked with Skeleton: Tails Needed, Skeleton: Torso Style exactly 45, 1 x Segmented Ribcage, (50 * Segments³) x Nevercold Brass Sliver

Locked with Skeleton: Skulls Needed

Wiki note: The cost in Nevercold Brass Sliver is 50 * Segments³ where Segments is simply the current level of Skeleton: Number of Segments. Your skeleton can only gain Segments when starting with a Segmented Ribcage as a torso (which sets it to 1). After that, all additions of Segmented Ribcage (be it as head or as tails) will increase the number of segments. The head can only be added once, but the tails can be limitless. However, since this option increases the number of segments, the cost also increases every time you take it. See the table below for scale.

With a pair of pliers, you cut and twist brass wire into an armature to hold your expanding creation together. […]

Description summary:
The description varies based on the number of Segments that have been added.

Segments	Description
2	Your skeleton now has as many limbs as a tetrapod.
3	With so many joints it's starting to take on an arthropod body plan.
4	Arranging such a long spine will require a great deal of it.
5 - 6	Perhaps this is a primordial centipede, or some sort of deviant anomalocarid.
7+	So, so much brass. What could possibly need, or want, this number of limbs?
