    Welcome to GameSpot's Spore Creature Creation Challenge! If you like to tool around with the free Creature Creator and you just can't wait to get your hands on Will Wright's latest title, this is the place for you. We're going to be giving away a copy of Spore Galactic Edition and two regular Spore games and the winner could be you! Here's what you need to do to join in the fun:

    1) Read, understand, and agree to the FAQ and Official Rules.

    4) Now comes the fun part--create! This is WEEK TWO of the challenge, so your mission is this:

    Create your favorite real-world animal! From mammals to marsupials, avians to amphibians, choose the animal you find the cutest, smartest, or most awesome, and use the creature creator to bring it to life! Accuracy to the real-world animal is a consideration, but as before we'll also be judging on originality and artistic merit, so render your animal however you wish within our rules. Use your creativity for fun and prizes!

    edit: Changed link to image in profile instead of the "view image" link

    Also, I don't think I tagged it Spore Contest 2008, and I keep getting an error when I try to tag it.

    Entry number three!

    http://www.gamespot.com/users/Almorac/view_image_original?id=OIRYtBkk7hqb4xzkkw&popup=1

    I'd say I'm going for #1 and my own Galactic Edition.. But obviously the guy who made the Infection Flood has this won. xD

    This is the best I could create a Headcrab from the Half-Life series. Of all the creatures in games the Headcrab is by far my favorite, and I even managed to grab my hands on a plushie of my own. The plushie was great because it made for a good 3D depiction to base the attempt off of. The teeth are messed up on the one I made but I did what I could. The depressive fact is that I couldn't create a beak for it, as the beak goes inwards and to my knowledge such a thing in the CC is, impossible. v_v
