Name: Annomins

Description: The Annomins use their superior speed to chase down prey. They’d probably use it to get away from predators as well, but most quickly learn not to chase an Annomins for fear of getting a spray of nasty acid in their face!

Statistics:
Abilities – Mating Call, Jump (2), Graspers, Sight
Attack – Bite (5), Charge (2), Strike (3), Spit (5)
Socialize – Sing (2), Dance (4), Charm (3), Pose (4)
Speed – 4
Health – 42
Diet – Carnivore

Notes:
A combination of two of my previous ideas that I wanted to revisit – multiple mouths, this time with rotation and also a multi-segment body. This time for the multi-segments I put a fair size curve in the spine to make it a little more… weird!

Annomins has two spitters mounted on the back sides of the middle body segment and the rear body segment. I did consider putting one on the head segment as well but I figured it might spit “through” the rear segment if I did, or just look bad. So I didn’t!

Notes:
Another in my line of “Creatures I want to see Epic-ized!”

Nothing came to mind for his name so I went with another randomly generated one. Actually had a couple of decent ones come up before deciding on Spelifugs, which is fairly unusual. Often I have to go through dozens before hitting something usable.

You’ve probably seen the news everywhere else by now but for those who missed it, Spore has “gone gold”.

For those not au fait with technobabble, that means the game has been “finished”, the final shipping version of the client has been burnt to a disk (traditionally a gold one) that is then used as the source for replicating all the millions of disks we’ll be receiving in just a couple of weeks time!

With the game due in a bit over 2 weeks it seems an appropriate time to mention that the Sporepedia is currently sitting on 2,812,257 creations. With an average of around 26,000 being made a day (still!) it seems very likely the game will launch with well over three million creatures.
Some will no doubt be essentially duplicates of each other, or very similar in design, but that is still an incredible number.

It certainly makes you wonder how many creations will be on there by the end of the year!
Well, it makes me wonder. It makes you answer this shiny new poll:
