Your Favorite Kind of Spore Creature

I personally like insectoids: arthropod humanoids reminiscent of insects on earth. I find they're the most fun to make because insects in general look so alien to begin with! It's easy to take an ant, make it walk upright, and have it instantly appear abstract to the human mind. Bugs just generally look freaky!

Sometimes I'll even combine 'em with reptiles just to make it even more bizarre:



So what kind of aliens do YOU like to create, GAC?

I do enjoy the looks of insectiod creatures and the exo-skeleton parts. (They go well with Mechs)

However, when it comes to playing in-game and evolving I prefer to stay away from humanoid creations, especially in the creature phase.

I usually like aliens, especially those that are non-humanoid. But I like to use simple parts, making sure that they all fit together to make a balanced creature rather than putting too many detail parts on to attempt to sculpt the creature into my desired shape. I let the game do the work for me instead of putting too much detail on and making it look too complex.



An example: notice the unique stature of the creature and the simplicity of parts used. That's how I try to make all of my creatures.

I like creatures that look semi-realistic, rather than weird twisting limbs that go all over the place.

My LEAST favourite are creatures from early creature stage that still have cell parts. They come up WAY too often in space stage.

I find the best way to avoid that is to use a theme, or buddy a lot of people. I have about 80+ subscriptions, so I don't typically see "nooblet" creations in space stage.

...Typically.

Animation and stats matter more to me than being on the MPN.

We're getting dangerously close to discussing the MPN here.

I usually find that using themes for my games doesn't work very well. My favorite theme to use is "my creations" obviously because I'm the only person I can trust. But when I do that, I see tons of creations that aren't mine. I'm not exactly sure how that works.

Cover everything

Beautiful.

Cute ones.

Liek this:

I like stuff that are alien, however their attributes make sense and would be useful in real animals. E.g. 'it uses the armor on it's legs as shock absorbers', or 'it uses it's long neck to reach into rocks and catch prey'. I guess you'd call that Xenobiology.


I also really like things with only one eye.
