General Forum How attached do you get to creatures?    daz      7/28/2014 Do you feel a strong attachment to all of your norns, ettins, and grendels? Which creatures have you been most attached to over the years? For me, when I'm doing a wolfling run I'm not attached to them at all. When I was much younger I was more attached to all of them, but less so as I grew older, especially in c3 where there's so little challenge in breeding them, so each baby isn't a special achievement. What prompted me to post this topic is a c1 grendel, the first time I've been attached to a creature in a long while. My little family of norns was steadily growing, penned in between that rosy bridge and the incubator with an electric gate to protect them from the grendels, who I might occasionally see pottering about across the tree houses or buildings either side. Then one individual made his way to the music room to the left of the incubator. I slapped the drum a few times and he was a happy grendel, gave him some food and went back to the norns. Got more and more attached to him over the next few hours, as he hasn't strayed from the music room except to occasionally go get some hooch from below, before going back up there to drum and spin in tipsy circles and munch on whatever I dropped him. Got so attached to him that I've stopped playing c1 until I can get a cob to export him and then clone him because I don't want him to die!   Senior Wrangler Nutter   7/28/2014 I don't get too attached, unless it's a creature with character - and some of them are. Sometimes there'll be one particularly sweet-natured norn, or unusual in some way, and it'll stand out from the crowd. I find it may happen a bit less often in C3 than in C1, but even in C3 I get favourites now and again, even in feral runs.   the1whoscreams   7/28/2014 For me,it really depends on what the creature was born for and how it looks.I rarely get attached to wolfling run creatures,but there was this one that looked awesome.He had bondi limbs and tail,a bengal body,and an astro head.He was awesome until his helicopter was captured by the glitchy void near the C2toDS world wrap while he was in it.I can only wonder what he's doing in there.   KittyTikara     7/28/2014 I don't usually get attached to Creatures if they're in a feral run. The one exception to that rule was Pudding, from when I was still trying to do feral runs in C1. He died of old age, but I quickly realized I just can't do feral or wolfling runs in C1. Then there's my favorite immortal Grendel, Balmora. She's been in my game literally for years, and I might just cry if I ever lost her, as silly as that sounds.... I think I'll go back her up somewhere, just in case. The Mobula Ray - My Creatures blog   Air Guitarist kezune     7/28/2014 Generally, no, I don't. That said, I do have a few creatures that immediately come to mind when I think of creatures I like, Five Cheese being one of them. She was one of the first Norns in my first blog-featured nurture world. She was a sweet thing. Updated Rehosting Policy[/title]   Harlow   7/29/2014 Since I tend to do runs that are almost-but-not-really-feral, I don't get attached to many creatures. That said, I usually do keep extra copies of my favorites. I'd say my favorites right now are the ettin/norn hybrid, Patch, (who I posted for download) Miasma, a norn who hatched with a grendel body probably from a mutation, and Nubs, a norn who doesn't have a tail, also likely to be from a mutation. Nubs, actually, is one of my favorites for a different reason than the other two. I was attempting a run based somewhat off of this but with a few changes. One of my females, Iceflame, was pregnant with multiple eggs (as is normal for the run) but ended up dying after laying only two of them. Nubs hatched from one egg, the other hatched into his sister, Snow Rose, who died shortly after. And of course, I love most ettins in general.
