Using Spore's creature creator to model homebrew monsters!

[ulrikbb]

Available in stores now, is EA Games' creature creator pack for the game Spore. Its purpose is creating creatures that you will eventually develop when you play the full game, which releases in about two weeks. It's not my intention to advertise the game (I don't know whether I'll purchase the full one), but the creature creator is a really neat tool! I bought it yesterday, and found it a lot of fun. Finally, some of my old, homebrewed creatures get a proper illustration. I'm thinking they'll inspire a little bit more awe from my players the next time they face them.

Take a look at some of the monsters I've created so far.

Calocephalus (I am very fond of deadly plant creatures)

Dread Fang (serpentine killer)

Gargulon (flowery aberration)

Green Drake (my attempt to create a dragon)

Purple Warclaw

The creator does have some limit, but the possibilities are almost endless. Wee!

Has anyone else tried the creature creator? Got any pictures of your own creatures? I'd love to see them!

Thats a good use of the creator, I must admit. And I have been waiting for Spore to come out for about 2 years now, I don't think Ill make it till September

Here's another one. These are widely sought after, as they make wonderfully cute pets and companions

Baby Celestial Ram

I wish the creator would let me change the size of the eyes, though - they are all a bit big, and easily look silly.

Just pick the eye and put your mouse over it and then scroll the wheel?

Is it that easy? Oh, figures. I don't have a mouse wheel
