Norn (Creatures)
From Free net encyclopedia
Image:Yeti-male-shop.jpg A Norn is an artificial lifeform in the computer game series Creatures. Norns are the focal species in the game. The game revolves around hatching, breeding and teaching these creatures while watching them grow and develop.
Norns begin their life cycle by hatching from eggs, and gradually grow in both size and mental capacity, learning to speak and manipulate their environment.
Norns can breed, or "kisspop", with the offspring sharing DNA from both parents. However, through random genetic mutations and deliberate genetic manipulation (gene splicing) on behalf of the player, Norns can evolve in a variety of ways. These variations can range from simple things like increased or decreased resistance to poisonous plants, to underwater breathing ability.
