Spore Creature Creator

If you fancy conceptualizing and creating bizarre and mystical creatures but don’t have the talent required to reproduce them in any medium, Spore Creature Creator is just what you need. Armed with an arsenal of more than 250 different parts, and the ability to mold your creature any way you want, the software gives you access to a vast set of tools that’ll help you unleash your imagination.

As you might know, Spore is the brainchild of the mastermind behind the most popular god game of all time – the Sims. Spore will let you evolve from a single cellular organism into a complete spacefaring civilization, where you meet different beings and interact with them in the way you choose to.

Spore Creature Creator is a part of that game. It's been pre-released so that developer Maxis can populate the Spore universe with creations made by the community. Each creature you create can be uploaded and shared with Maxis and the Spore community, so you can share your thoughts on your friends’ creations, and even download their creatures to check them out firsthand.

To create a creature, you start off with nothing but a torso. Using the backbone embedded in the torso, you can mold its shape and size according to your preference. After this, you can choose from a predefined set of body parts, including limbs, different heads, eyes, and a whole lot more to add to your creation, till it begins to look the way you want. There’s so much freedom that you can make your creature humanoid, or an eight-limbed freak (like my little creation above). The choice is yours, and the sky’s the limit.
