			Defines whether or not this overlay is a veinhole monster. Veinhole monsters are a special type of overlay that carry several hardcoded features, including, but not limited to:
			* Treated as a passive enemy; can be targeted and destroyed.
			** Certain weapons such as [[IsSonic\|sonic weapons]] cannot harm the veinhole monster
			* Enables any attached [[IsVeins\|veins]] to grow as specified by {{sl\|General\|VeinholeGrowthRate}}.
			* If this veinhole is killed, any attached veins start to wither away, provided that the {{sl\|General\|VeinholeShrinkRate}} is ''lower'' (faster) than the growth rate.
			* Ignores the {{f\|Image\|link}} flag, if specified.
			* Uses a hardcoded animation sequence:
			** Alternates between frames 0 and 3 as rest/idle states

{{DeeZireInclusion}}<br />
Can be set to 'yes' or 'no' and specifies whether or not this overlay is classed as a Veinhole Monster (as in Tiberian Sun) meaning that it can be targeted and fired at. NOTE: this tag does not indicate that this produces Veins, as that is determined by the IsVeinhole=true tag on a TerrainType.
