The Spore Creature Creator is now available for download. Here are a few creatures I’ve made.

[Flobber](http://www.carnick.net/CRE_Flobber-06836745_sml.jpg)  
He’s too cute for his own good. He’ll never survive in the wild.

[Puzzpod](http://www.carnick.net/CRE_Puzzpod-06836744_sml.jpg)  
He has six eyes, what’s not to love?

[Winged Frugduck](http://www.carnick.net/CRE_Winged%20Frugduck-06836743_sml.jpg)  
A rarely seen variety from the duck-with-four-eyes-and-venom-spitting-belly-button family.

Anyone else want to share their hideous insults to God’s creation?

Mine is uploaded to the spore site, the spindleborr.

All hail the spindleborr!

Here is one of mine… [Horripilancio](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3205/2593187513_c8a9fe2294_o.png) and [Horripilancio with its kid](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3255/2594026792_858aa12c9d_o.png)

What the hell is wrong with me, I wonder…?

Just my 2 eurocent!

My first creation Kharmad:

Larvevlin:

Flitik:

I’m not very creative I guess, I got a little out there with the last one, but overall I think my creatures are pretty kosher.

Question: Why did I see a copy of the creature creator in Best Buy today for $10 when I can get it for free? If someone buys that, is it also used as a ‘pre-order’ for the whole game, and maybe $10 off it too?

Granted, I don’t see that many people buying it, but I would feel bad for anyone that did if it _didn’t_ translate into $10 off the full version.

The full pay version has more parts and textures and such. I don’t think it amounts to $10 off or a pre-order, just more parts to play with, which is why I bought it.

I knew there had to be a thread about this somewhere…

So, as a testament to my slacking off, here’s my go at creating a [Dalek](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y150/StephenDaedalus/Dalek.jpg), a Lovecraftian [Elder Thing](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y150/StephenDaedalus/ElderThing.jpg), Daniel Johnston’s _Hi, How Are You?_-frog [Jeremiah The Innocent](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y150/StephenDaedalus/Jeremiah.jpg), and, just so I don’t appear as uncreative as I actually am, one of my own creations, the anglerfish-inspired [Ruseling](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y150/StephenDaedalus/Ruseling.jpg).

Now, with that thing, and finally paying up here, I think I’m never gonna get anything done again. Ever. I’ll waste and whither away in front of my computer. Which is not actually that different from what I’ve been doing lately anyway. Ah well.

My first initial experiments under the name “DrDisturbo” were…[less than successful.](http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=srt-hr%3Ausr-DrDisturbo%3Asast-500003826412)

My first one, [Dhinosar](http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ast-500003987063%3Asast-500003987063)

They just [get](http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ast-500003987196%3Asast-500003987196) [worse](http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ast-500003993923%3Asast-500003993923) from there. 🙂
