Hello everyone, I've just recently managed to return to the Creatures community. I am officially a holder of an Associates Degree, and I'm taking a break from school for a year, so now I have a bit more time to waste do stuff.
To celebrate my return, I decided to go ahead and make three new genetics breeds, to get back into the swing of things.
Allow me to present:
Lions and Tigers and Bears
Lions and Tigers and Bears
These are reworked versions of the Civet, Bengal and Bruin breeds to give them a bit more "uniqueness", as the files are labeled. Now, just like the Treehuggers and the Hardmans and the Toxics, these breeds have a bit more individuality to them!
First, the Bruins:
As their name and appearance implies, Bruins are based slightly off bears, and now so are their genetics. Bruins are highly omnivorous, they instinctively eat anything from critters to fruits. If you want them to be active, don't leave them in the cold. When encountering an exceptionally cold environment, Bruins will first stuff their faces with any food they can find, then they will lie down and sleep frequently. They are slightly stronger and slightly more aggressive than the average norn.
Bengals:
Likewise, since Bengals are based on Tigers, I gave them a similar genome. Bengals are extreme carnivores, fruits will actually make them hungrier. They can still eat plants though, but their main source of nutrients comes from eating critters and bugs. Bengals are also extreme loners. They get crowded around other norns much easier, and they don't get as lonely. They can often satisfy their loneliness more effectively by playing with critters and bugs than with other norns. This makes them rather difficult to breed naturally. They also like to travel frequently, and are more restless. They are considerably more aggressive than the average norn.
Civets:
Now, as I understand it Civets are supposed to be based off a small nocturnal mammal, so forgive me for not basing them off their namesake but I wanted to keep a theme. The new Civet genome is based off Lions. Civets are incredibly gregarious creatures. They can't stand to be alone, and get crowded less easily. They are also extreme carnivores, thought not quite as extreme as the Bengals. They are restless and easily bored, but they do not enjoy traveling as much as the average norn. Males get tired more easily than females, so you're likely to see them frequently napping around. They are slightly more aggressive than the average norn.
All three breeds are CFE based and use sprites found in Creatures 3

Fascinating! Quite an interesting take on these, I must say.

Hmm, might have to see if I can raise them together... Wonder what sort of norn a Tiger/Lion might make, a Liger norn?

I like this idea very much
These moded Genomes makes breeding wit these standert species more interesting
I'll give them a try.
moep!

I always thought the Civets were cows. Haha! Good to know. These sound awesome.
Also, props for the use of Mr. Takei . |

Same as Moe. The fur pattern totally looks like a cow, and then the silly ears...
Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

You don't want to get to close to this cow.

Updated the Bengal genome, turns out the Bengals were constantly starch starved.
Also added some importable creatures: Tiger and Tigress, Mama Bear and Papa Bear, and Simba and Nala

This sounds really interesting! I've always thought about creating my own edits to the official Norn genomes; I can't believe Gameware didn't think of that earlier. |
