Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



 
I have to admit, as cool as Spore's creature creation system seems to be (Hamza hasn't shut up about it for a full week), the naughtier characters are a little tasteless for my personal preferences. However, get some of my favorite Square-Enix mascots in the game, and I find myself warming up to the whole idea. Call me crazy, but I prefer a Moogle to a disfigured porn reenactment any day.
 
In addition to the Chocobo above, you can see a Moogle and Cait Sith from Final Fantasy VII after the jump. These were created with care by our own Destructoid community member sylphx, who says that creating each took an hour or more. Nice work, Sir!
 
He's also working on a model of a Cactaur and a Tonberry, so keep an eye on his blog if you want to see these famous characters Spore-ified as well!
 
[Thanks, Hamza]

You just gave me the best idea for a cake.

Other than that, I would love the opportunity to use the creature creator. I wish the Macintosh requirements were not so stiff. This game needs more Earthbound villians.

Wow...I almost like Cait Sith now.

I hope he has a better Limit Break in Spore, though.

I think I'm finally gonna download this now! I got some great ideas, but I'm not the most artistically inclined...

I'm wondering the same as Scotty, also I need to spend more time with the Creature creator, I just tested it a bit yesterday.

@Lord Zephyr
Same as in real life, most likely yes but the original stuff will go mostly unappreciated.

Nice, I saw a bunch of Zelda monsters created in Spore yesterday. This stuff is really cool.

I'm curious to see if the Cactuar can be made to stand at a 45 degree angle. I doubt it.

angling the spine is pretty easy in the CC and the limbs shouldn't be too hard to put on. He wont walk very pretty though.

The chocobo is definitely the best. I'll expect to download it to my world when I get the full version. n.n

The chocobo is the best one. And also, Cactuar would be awesome.

A Tonberry would complete the set :P

While the masses run around creating giant cock creatures there will always be those elite few who reserve their time for ripping off copyrighted characters... ROCK ON!

Honestly for all the gamers on the globe is there not one with the imagination to make something that isn't either a penis on legs or a moogle?

For reference: I do not fit in this category. I, being the hypocritical little sod that I am, am having way too much fun with my giant ARSELICKER *patent pending.

Boy I can't wait to have my character kill and eat a moogle.
