Hail!

This is my first try for the contest with two creatures, although neither of them are buildable in the CC.

Here we goes. My story is took place in the solarsystem called Cseg-tirtür (which means solarsystem in Krion). It has got four suns (wich is very ordinary in Galaxy), a red giant (Ityáz Úftür, Red Jewel) wich will explode approximately in 1500 million years, the other suns are substantially smaller so a single (Cseg, Sun) and a couple (Sziljári Hüterát, Tireless Sisters/Borthers [a word with both meaning, so don't know if it refers to a male or female]) are circle around the Ityáz Úftür, unfortunately the high number of suns produced very hostile conditions for planet formation, so there are only two gas giants around the Sziljári Hüterát, and three stone planets around the Cseg two of them is Mercury-sized, but the second's radius is double than Earth's. This vulcanic planet is called Kászu Krion (Home of Krions), where the systems well developed creatures live, the Krions. The Krions will be my first creatures designed in the CC, but I pass this issue to Tuesday.

So let's fly back to the gas giants, one of them is ten times bigger than Jupiter, the other is half that large, called Zord (a famous Krion leader), mostly consists of Hydrogen and Helium, however its core composition is unknown. The planet is mostly brown and yellow, and it has a very tempestuous weather. In this hostile environment exist a race called Dőr-Banog (Bulge-Jellyfish) by the Krions. They look like this http://img106.imageshack.us/my.php?i...zakicsiwk7.jpg (here is a larger scale http://img106.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ormedzahe9.jpg). It is unknown how have they arisen, and how they survive the high airpressure, gravity and the storms. They are heterotrophs, they hunt for the local creatures the smaller chemotroph species, but when they cannot find any they become chemotrophs too, it is possible because the Dőr-Banogs aren't one being at all, their cells are genetically the same, but different cells make up the arms, the gasbags, the nervous system, etc; so when one kind of cell segments two cells born with the same properties, but can live as individuals (like in mushrooms). Baby Dőr-Banogs are as big as a small bus, while adoults could easily exceed a size of house. They have tetacle like arms minimum 2 and maximum 11, the more arms the Dőr-Banog has, the more old it is. The arms has different functions like: communication with others, grab the food to the mouth, grab each other to form colonies, etc. They have gasbags under their bulge-head (torso), with them they are capable to float, but they can only influence their movement minimally, mostly they just fly with the wind, and grabbing anything they find. Sometimes they attack Krion deep-atmosphere ships in flocks, their raids are terrifyingly organised, hence there is a debate if the Dőr-Banogs are intelligent or they just the tools of a much more dangerous being. Nevertheless they are social creatures, and sometimes form huge colonies for months, they cummunicate with gestures, (Krions said, when when they first saw them from above, that they are one huge, wavering bubble-forest) sharing every information and memory, so when they are in colony they have collective memories and mind.

The Tékloms (Crag-Beings), are the most misterious cretures in the Cseg system, they look like this (electricity is displayed visible) http://img106.imageshack.us/my.php?i...nykicsiol4.jpg. Krion belive that they coeval with their own solarsystem, wich 7 billion years old. They needed very special condition to become conscious. Some parts of the asteroid belt around Zord is electric, and the strongly metallic rocks and crags and thick dust around them behave as nerve-cells, building up a nervous system, so eventually they are creatures without bodies, just a big brain. But how could spontaneous electric discharges become intelligence? It is still a secret. If you think that Tékloms are vulnerable to asteroid activity, because they are not cohesive, your calculation is wrong. Due to their powerful psychical activity, they could affect the asteroids (themselves), to stay in the desired form, in these ways they developed very quickly, and reached a high level of intelligence before any other being. Hence some Krions have stated, that they created the Dőr-Banogs, by manipulating the gas and other materials. Others have gone further, they said that even the Krions are creations of the Tékloms (instead of natural selection), but they quickly executed as heretics. The large coverage of their mental powers, and their structure suppose that they are not individuals, but a giant consciousness. However nobody could confirm or cunfute the claims about the Tékloms, because passengers of spaceships reported strange visions returning from planet Zorg, so it is highly possible that, these Crag-Beings knowingly manupulate the Krions thoughts, and consider their solarsystem as their own test-subject.

Hey guys, what's your opinion?

GORDOCK!!!!
Link sporepedia: Gordock


Link youtube video: Gordock video

Carnivore in every way, this Beast will Shred anything that comes in his path... Stories say some of these turn epic, none have lived to tell the tale...

he is really huge, it's something like a cow but everything maxed out and i think it turned out to be quite a devastating killer... I wouldn't one of these Gordocks running towards me.... especially an EPIC.... :O


What you guys think?

edit: added sporepedia and youtube video

Bio: A highly social animal, Mudskips do everything in groups. They're highly emotional and have a complex method of communicating, which is a wide range of vocal responses, gestures, dances, etc. Mudskips are carnivorous, and hunt are capable of hunting prey their own size or larger; depending on the pack's size.

lol heer piktur of chodstur

I know it's crazy late with the editor demo etc coming out tomorrow but I'm getting around to posting a creature i designed a few months ago!

The one on the left is the primitive form, that hides at the edge of the later and dangles a fake worm and then leaps out of the water to eat its prey. The tiny teeth are great for just latching into small animals and not letting them go.

On the right is the evolved version that would hopefully make it in tribe phase. It's moved out of the water and has become much more active and aggressive. Hope you all like them.

Thats pretty cool

This critter is the Manotaur, who is a hardcore predator on smaller organisms. Can fend off many at once, and revels in slaughter and dance.

Check out the spinal ridges culminating in horns, and the tusks, sheltering the single eye which is a cross.. And the bonespur-blades on the wrists

The Cerebrean Puppeteer



The puppeteers evolved on a cold, dark world orbiting a dying star. They started off like anglerfish, using a humanoid lure to trick the primitive primates there into getting close enough for the puppeteer to drop from the ceiling and consume the poor creature. Eventually the creatures grew wise to the puppeteer's tricks, so the puppeteers had to evolve new ways of hunting. It started off with lures that shook around, like a person in distress. Then they started mimicking the voices of their prey, luring them in with promises or cries for help.

Eventually the puppeteer's puppet became practically a second body to the monsters. Most of the creatures on their homeworld used a form of thermal imaging vision to see in the frigid darkness. So by necessity the puppeteer's puppet is warm like the body of a mammal, while it's main body is cool, so to most creatures of the planet they appear as humanoids with a faint shadow behind them. Their ability to mimic voices eventually developed into an ability that allows them to emit strange inaudible sound frequencies that affect the emotions of creatures around them.

Eventually the puppeteers far outstripped their original prey in terms of intelligence and ability, building great civilisations in the darkness. They no longer hunt, but instead travel the universe, manipulating and controlling other races with their natural abilities and intelligence, puppeteers in an entirely different sense.

The Geckodon - relies on its stealth capabilities for protection and food.

Here is my creature, when I get back I'll make an actual creature pic and put it here. He is extremely big and brutal, and was made with free CC.

Quetzadodo

It's wings are only for show; the Quetzadodo is a weak flyer. But what it lacks in aerial strength, it makes up in speed.

Can someone tell me how to download a creature? the creature I posted was lost when I uninstalled the UK version and installed the US version.

Check your spore creature folder, the creature files are small PNGs. Just drag+drop onto the spore game. (easiest in windowed mode)

Btw, what do you guys think of my Quetzadodo? I really love how the wings turned out; The Peacock feathers make his wings look like a big face. I think this guy has a real shot at winning.

Here is mine he is called retractor.
