GamePro's guide to forging the freakiest creatures in Spore. Forgive us, Mother Nature!

So you've downloaded the Spore Creature Creator. Good for you. If you haven't, it's time to get in on the fun. Here are a few tips on how to start playing a wacko Mother Nature, followed by some examples of just wild how your imagination can run.


Start with the body:
To make a really great creature you need to start out with a strong body shape. Customize yours by using your scrollwheel on the various spine pieces to enlarge or shrink body areas.

Add arms and legs:

If you want your creature to be able to move about in a timely fashion, you may want to think about adding arms and legs. Though, hey, anything's possible in Spore, and you can have a creepy crawler if you so desire.

Meat or veggies?:
Your creation is going to need to be able to see and eat if it's going to survive in the big bad world. Adding eyes and a mouth will help, as well as determining if your creature is an omnivore, carnivore or herbivore.

Paint shop:
Once you have added all the necessary parts, it's time to give your creation a fancy new paint job. You can choose colors, textures and even add stripes, polka dots and many other paint treatments.

Finalize!:
With your creature completely finished you can drop him/her/it into a few different backdrops and even see what its offspring will look like. You can also experiment with movement, fighting moves, dance moves and expressions. Voila, a new Spore creature is born!
