Creatureslink: The End

The small group was starting to get really old at this point. Jester had already died at the ripe old age of 5 hours and 39 minutes though, and had quite quite a few descendants. So he certainly made up for his shorter time in the world. Chimanga and Pam had reached old age, and Maude had gone senile.

Out of curiosity, I plucked Chimanga from his castle and put him next to Pam. He promptly took a nap and Pam didn't even pay attention to him. I didn't know what would happen, but I certainly didn't expect that! Eventually, Chimanga deiced he liked Maude better, and those two stuck around each other for the most part. (By that I mean they slept a lot.)

Chimanga surprised me again by having a baby. I wasn't paying attention at the time, and she hatched. Chimanga was holding the egg shell and kissing his daughter. No sooner had that egg disappeared, Chimanga got Pam pregnant. She laid her egg and it was swiftly put away before it hatched.

Not to long after that, Maude died of old age. I deiced to stop writing down what happened after that, and just let Pam and Chimanga live in peace. Pam was the last one to die, and she had my full attention before she went.

Overall, I will miss this group. Chimanga stole my heart (and most of my attention), and Jester, despite his name. was a surprisingly serious Norn. Maude has as many eggs as she could manage, and Pam was very aloof. The final egg count was 20 with 17 of those being Maude's. Sadly some of Noeah's children had genetic problems and one of them was stillborn. Combining that with their father's early death, I didn't feel right uploading many of his babies. So only half of those were uploaded to Creatures Caves...

Creatureslink: Adorably old

Old Norns can be surprising, or at least Jester was. Jester and Maude had two babies while I was trying to figure out what when wrong with Noeah. This brought the total up to 16 eggs. Maude had gotten old by this point, thanks to her Hardman genetics. Still, her and Jester made a nice pair, with all of the grey fur. They were adorable together.

Even Chimanga was getting old. He didn't do much besides sleep and play with his rocking horse. There wasn't much to do up there, but he didn't seem to mind. The treehouse was his castle, and he had a great view of his kingdom from there. Or maybe he just couldn't figure out how to get down.

CreatureLink: Getting older

Everyone was starting to get old. Jester was now 4 hours old, Noeah and Maude were two and a half hours old, Pam was nearly 2 hours old, and poor Chimanga was also 2 and a half hours old. This didn't slow them down though. Jester and Noeah fathered two eggs each. Everyone was happily stuffing their faces full of food. Jester soon felt crowded though, and slapped a Noeah a few times. He then danced around everybody for a while, and everything went back to normal.

Until Noeah died... He hadn't been sick, and I couldn't find anything weird in his genome. He just up and died. Maude was the first one to notice, and all she wanted were the seeds around him. Jester and Pam were on the other side of the metaroom at the time.

With Noeah gone, I figured there wouldn't be much left to the world, as far as breeding went. Jester was 4 and a half hours old, and Chimanga was still in his treehouse. So the only young male around was still embracing his inner cat and ruling the treehouse.

CreatureLink: Jester doesn't joke around

Maude and Pam greeted me with two new eggs! This was Pam's first egg and Maude's fourth. Noeah wasn't doing to well. He was always shivering, even though he wasn't sick. Even a sun couldn't warm him up! Him staring straight at it probably didn't help either.

Pam had finally turned into an adult though. So I could, finally, added Jester to the group! (He was an old mystery Creature that Jessica uploaded and was already an adult.) The very first thing he did was walk up to the females, slap them a few times, got Maude pregnant, and walked away to take a nap. Despite his name, he was quite a serious little Norn.

Jester certainly made an impression on the young females. He was already 3 hours old, so maybe he was trying to make up for lost time. He left Maude quite confused. They all seemed to get over it pretty quickly though. The girls eventually forgave him, and both Pam and Maude had another egg. Noeah was the father of one of those eggs.

CreatureLink: Chimanga's treehouse

Pam had the time of her life just playing with bugs and toys. Chimanga was still embracing his inner cat, and claiming the treehouse as his own. Noeah and Maude had moved into a warm-looking cave, though Noeah was still shivering quite a bit. I added a steam rock to the cave, hoping that it would help him out somewhat. I think it worked to well, since they immediately kisspoped and had their first baby!

Maude was a proud mother, and decided to take a nap near her egg. She and Noeah turned into adults soon afterwards and celebrated with another egg. Pam eventually had enough of the bugs and slowly made her way to the main group. Everyone was happy and took good care of themselves. Everyone except Chimanga.

Being stuck in a treehouse had done a number on his brain, I think. He kept forgetting what toys did, even though he was surrounded by them. He thought staring at food or toys was more entertaining rather than playing with them. He did eat occasionally, but I often found
him complaining of hunger. I eventually gave up on him, and let him do his own thing.

CreaturesLink Norns: Babies in Ainarda

While reinstalling my game, I found my old CreaturesLink folder. Quite a few have never been raised, so I deiced to group them up and blog about them. The first group had five members: Maude, Noeah, Jester, Pam, and Chimanga.Pam and Chimanga weren't Creaturelink Norns, and I added them so the world wasn't quite so empty.

Jester was an older Norn, so I imported Maude and Noeah first to even out the ages a bit. They were left in the Meso until they got they both got to the adolescence stage and nothing really happened. Noeah shivered a lot and Maude stuffed her face full of tubas.

Both of them eventually aged up and I put them in Ainardia. Maude immediately found the tubas when I put her down. Noeah had better things to do and danced with some mushrooms before eating them. When both were settled in, I added Chimanga to the group.

It was at this point that I realized that there was only one female, so I hatched a baby Siamese named Pam. Chimanga decided that the treehouse was a nicer place, and left the small group of Norns. Pam also decided to strike off on her own, and form her own one Norn band with a drum set. Noeah and Maude continued to stick together and I even heard the occasional kisspop from them.
