General Forum Creatures stories!    Snails      4/14/2014  1 I think it's been long enough since we've had a thread like this. Basically, just tell a story that happened in your creatures game. Just make sure it won't offend anyone. I'll begin. In creatures 2, I had a missing file for an update, so whenever I injected it, my selected creature would start flying around albia in a straight line. Exporting it didnt even work, it would be just... broken. Edit: Thanks Laura. CC is really the only site where I post on the forums, so forgive me for my misplacement. xD I'm GarbageSnail on SecondLife and Scum (GROSS)#4691 on Discord!   Lodestar Doringo     4/14/2014 Once upon a time my norn actually went from norn terrarium to marine aquarium in a wolfing run. He then went back through the ark coridoors. I remember I killed the teleporter to the Bridge on the Hub side, and a grendel warped into the hub, gave me an idea for a metaroom where grendels can be born and can teleport to your norn home metaroom.   KittyTikara     4/14/2014 I've had an immortal Grendel named Balmora running around in some of my worlds since 2011. She was actually one of my first genetic experiments that sort of failed. I had a nice spliced Grendel that I grew to like in one of my worlds, and I tried to create a version of that Creature that would be immortal. I succeeded and named the new Grendel Balmora. Ever since then she's been my unofficial mascot and the "star" of some of my dorky fanfic I lost a year or so ago. Immortals can be pretty boring, but Balmora is usually obsessed with toys. So I like to stick her in the Comms or Workshop with a bunch of balls and just watch her go. At one point I had made clones of her and they were also named after cities in Morrowind. Suran, Khuul, and Vivec were their names, I think. They all died when the world they were in crashed and I couldn't export them in time. The only reason Balmora survived was I have a backup of her. The Mobula Ray - My Creatures blog   Snails   4/14/2014 Once I get DS/C3 working, mind sending her to me? I'd like to mess with her. xD Also, I remember when I first started playing this series in 2008 (I know, I joined at a odd time!) I had a norn born without legs, so I tried feeding it and then it died and I didn't play for like a month. I'm GarbageSnail on SecondLife and Scum (GROSS)#4691 on Discord!   Manic Scribbler razander   4/14/2014 I've been testing my norns' behaviour around grendels, and recently their tolerance for crowds too (it's pretty high!). They're quite talkative! Of course 30 norns in the DS Meso is going to be loud, but I think they could be less chatty. And no, I didn't lock the Meso door. They're really just that comfortable around crowds (that don't include grendels). I've never had a banshee grendel before, so I hatched that instead of a jungle grendel. His name is Silent Rub. What surprised me is that I got attached to him. Even after they've reached adulthood, they're pretty docile so long as they're kept away from norns. He spends most of his time near the musicola, lonely... I'm finally satisfied with my norns' reactions to grendels, so I'm going to use the Dummy Control to bring him the Training Dummy so he won't be so sad.   Zweitausend   4/15/2014  1 I'm using Amaikokonuts crossbreeding script and found out that a male hardman norn had taken a liking to pushing a certain female ettin that was still too young to breed. I just couldn't believe how adorable it was, he could barely speak and kept saying "pupu etet". Needless to say, I couldn't wait until she grew up to see if they'd actually reproduce on their own. Fat chance. She grew up, alright, and I put them in the upper level of the workshop together. He starts pushing her again, I smile and take a look at what's going on in the norn meso. With over 30 norns and at least 15 ettins, there's always something interesting to look at. I leave the PC for a moment and come back to see a death notification pop up as I sit down. Clicking on it takes me to - you guessed it - the workshop, with a very dead ettin looking absolutely terrified and a certain male hardman with the biggest grin imaginable on his face.   Code Monkey evolnemesis   4/15/2014 I just caught one of my norns playing with the sludge gun like a maniac, this is the first time I've ever seen one activate it in any of my worlds... and this little guy was having a blast making it shoot in every direction constantly and wouldn't stop... luckily no other norns were anywhere around him (Or maybe they had been when he started, but were already chased away)... "For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love." "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." - Carl Sagan   Snails   4/17/2014  2 Once, I had a baby grendel that I didn't notice, wander into the norn terraquin. I had creatures crossbreeding scripts on, so the young male grendel grew up with the norns, and I ended up with around 40% of my norns having grendel parts in later generations. I'm GarbageSnail on SecondLife and Scum (GROSS)#4691 on Discord!   blueseraph   4/17/2014  1 My favorite story so far is still my female ettin who started walloping on a grendel who had wandered into the norn meso. He was smacking happily away at an older norn (who was nevertheless too stupid to flee) and up comes the ettin, declaring her hate for grendels and smacking away like the smallest Amazon ever. The grendel actually stopped his norn battering, "retreat ettin"'d, and was timid around ettins for the rest of his life. I actually felt kind of bad for him, being knocked down a peg by a cute widdle ettin. Unfortunately, the norn in all of this never got any smarter and his cause of death still ended up being "random act of grendel." His guardian ettin had gadgets to move   Code Monkey evolnemesis   4/17/2014  2 I had a norn who seemingly had directions switched in his brain, and whenever he would try to approach stuff, he would turn around and walk away from it.. if he would try to retreat from something or flee from it, he would go towards it... if he said left he went right, and so on... Now, you'd think just telling him to do the opposite, or walk in the opposite direction would work, but no... his brain was still strongly telling him he had to approach, or that he had to go left... He even seemed to almost never see food i'd try to give him (and most of the time when he did, he'd get excited and try to walk towards it... so every time i'd bring the hand towards him he turned around and walked away...) I was sure he'd die, he'd basically have to forget every instinct and do the opposite, and I wasn't having much luck getting him to eat... but he actually figured it out on his own... but he did it in a way i totally didn't expect, by correlating things that made no sense normally... like, he figured out if he wanted food, trying to approach it was pretty much futile, but he had no instinct to retreat from food, so he started to associate food with grendels... he'd say 'eat grendel' when there were no grendels anywhere near, and he would pick something in the direction the food was in, and pick that to try to retreat from instead... (like the cloud that's all the way on one side of the terrarium)... so 'retreat weather' eventually worked to get him into reach of the food... if he wanted to interact with a norn, he had to retreat when he really wanted to approach, but he eventually learned that moving that way lowered his loneliness, so it was good (but since he didn't want to think about retreating from norns, he'd pick something random in that direction to try to retreat from instead, like a toy, so he could get close to the norns...) Anyway, he lived to a ripe old age, and he'd give the funniest, strangest advice to all the other norns whenever they would express any need because of all the weird things he had learned that worked for him. I miss him... I didn't know how to clone at that time or how to look at his genetics... I wish I could have saved a copy of him though, he was so interesting. "For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love." "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." - Carl Sagan   Manic Scribbler razander   4/20/2014 This is one from my GF, from when she was playing other games and watching my norns on the side. These were some of my experimental norns, being kept in the DS Meso, who needed to eat animals for protein. I left a crobster dispenser for them, and asked her to use it when needed. She didn't have to use it at all; one norn was making it rain crobsters from the upper level. She picked up the crobster dispenser and put it somewhere else. Later when she looked again, the norn had taken it, and brought it back to the third level to make it rain. You couldn't see the floor of the "jungle" part of the meso anymore, it was just all crobsters. Not knowing there was an inventory, she and this norn wrestled over the crobster dispenser for a while. At the end of it she had given him some very child-unfriendly names.   VioletGrendel   4/20/2014 I had a DS norn who was getting badly stung by some stingers, so I told her "hit pest". Unfortunately her young son was nearby, and she began violently hitting him! This is an absolutely true story, it happened just this morning. Another great DS story is the tale of Madakoi 14 and the octoplets. I decided as an experiment to set the multiple birth probability very high, and Madakoi 14, a c1-to-ds horse norn female, was the first to breed after I set the probability up. She had eight eggs, and she beamed when she laid the first, did a not so happy smile with the second, looked really miserable with the third, and then scowled all the way through the next five. Poor Madakoi! What is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything? 42!   Code Monkey evolnemesis   4/20/2014 I had another weird thing happen in the same run I had the backwards norn... I had a norn who picked up an apple as a baby, and from then on, she could take bites out of it whenever she wanted, and the apple never disappeared. She never put that apple down after that, and never tried to get any other food. I named her Eve... She never had to worry about food again, and needless to say she was happy most of the time, since she had a neverending food supply. Another interesting thing was she lived a full normal lifespan and I never noticed her get hungry for fat. It was like she got everything she needed from her magical apple. She bred well too, but none of her offspring showed any thing unusual other than a few color mutations. "For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love." "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." - Carl Sagan   VioletGrendel   4/20/2014 One of my norns had an endless apple. He put it down though, and it vanished into thin air. What is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything? 42!   Zweitausend   4/22/2014 A female Hardman norn and her mate, also a Hardman, were chilling on the bridge of the Capillata when she laid her egg. At the same time, a fairly young Dustdevil grendel just came from the workshop where he hatched and casually picked it up while walking past towards the grendel infested meso. At that moment, the very angry looking male Hardman turns around and beats the everloving snot out of that poor Dustdevil who gets knocked towards the door due to the Critical Hit script and just drops dead right away. Moments later, the egg gets whisked away by the Egg Finder and he lies down with a huge grin on his face as if nothing happened. The small Hardman family got eradicated fairly quickly, by the way. Turns out that two adults and a baby are no match for a horde of 30 grendels, although they lasted for a surprisingly long time!   Manic Scribbler razander   4/22/2014 My latest wolfing run involved various norns from the DS incubator and whatever hatched from SERU. When I came back, the only creatures left were adult female grendels.   Zweitausend   4/22/2014 That might've had something to do with the generally low life expectancy of SERU creatures, though. At least mine tend to die within minutes after hatching for no particular reason - smiling and playing with toys one moment, dead the next.   Manic Scribbler razander   4/22/2014 But the thing is, 12 of the eggs were just CFE norns laid by Muco. I made only 6 SERU ones.   Puddini   4/30/2014 Once in C2 one of my Scorpio Norns died and when it's body begun flying into the sky, it's mate (another Scorpio Norn) looked at it and said "eat norn".   Code Monkey evolnemesis   5/1/2014 Norns are silly, they tend to always think of eating anything they like or even find interesting at all... makes it a little dangerous to teach them words for things like weeds and pests and stuff... bringing their attention to anything just makes them automatically want to eat it... Reminds me of this cute piece of artwork up in the gallery... "For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love." "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." - Carl Sagan   Draggy   5/3/2014  1 This happened to me the other day in C1. For fun, I decided to have Bouncing Carrots about. It was all going fine at the moment. My norns were happy so I went to go check on the Grendels. Funny enough, I find one of them in the carrot garden and watch as he tries to pick the carrot up...and instead of the carrot bouncing, he bounces instead! With the silly sound effect and all. After that experience, I renamed that Grendel 'Tigger'.   VioletGrendel   5/7/2014 I had a norn who could juggle with the bouncy carrots. What is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything? 42!   DrWhite   5/11/2014 Today I was attempting a wolfing run with some Drozzy Norns, to see whether starting with one male and one female could effectively create a sustainable population. I think it might have worked, if the pair hadn't given birth to almost solely females. One other male was born eventually, but he then decided to wander off in the complete opposite direction of the harem, and with daddy already dead and him only having a short lifespan spent miles away, the population was finished. Sheer bad luck, and an interesting little illustration of how luck and the environment can swiftly wipe a group out.   VioletGrendel   5/25/2014  1 I once had a norn who was impervious to pain. However much grendels thumped him he registered no pain! As far as I know he was ordinary in every other respect, a second gen Bengal/Trident cross . . . What is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything? 42!   Puddini   6/29/2014 I just witnessed a Norn hit many times another Norn that fainted. Either she was trying to wake him up, or she's a bully. BTW, the other Norn died. Hey, it's a wolfling run, so don't get angry at me for not doing anything! Also apparently I have a Norn that is four hours old, but still a baby and the Breeder's Kit says he has no age... AND HE'S A GEN 1.
