	The Norns
		In Germanic mythology, the Norns were a group of supernatural beings who corresponded to the Greek Moirai; they were usually represented as three maidens who spun or wove the fate of men.
		The Norns measured the life of men and plotted their path of life at the moment of birth.
		The expression "the judgment of the Norns" becomes equal to an unfair destiny, misery and death.

	Myth*ing Links: The Norns & Nuremberg
		The three Norns were known collectively as Die Schreiberinnen, "the Writing Women," who wrote the on-going book of Destiny in which they revealed the deep secrets of the universe.
		Near their cave was the cosmic wellspring of life, destiny, and justice -- Urdarbrunnr, the "Well of Urd." To preserve the life of the World Tree, the Norns annointed it daily with white clay from the spring and gave it pure, shining water from the well.
		The Norns were said to live under a mountain where the German city of Nuremberg (or Nurnberg) was founded.

	IGN: Creatures Review
		Norns can learn things for themselves, but are often mischievous if left to their own accord.
		Aside from visual mutations, Norns may also be born with different resistances to poisons or diseases, or occasionally with psychological or mental oddities, for better or for worse.
		The Norns sometimes need to be trained not to kick other small animals, and they need to be fed medicinal herbs when they're sick, but aside from that, nothing really needs to be done aside from encouraging them to mate, which gets boring pretty fast.

	Creatures 2: Advanced Norn Care: About genetic defects
		Everyone has already had norns that passed out a few seconds after hatching: in general most if not all of their organs were flashing red in that case.
		I have finally compared the genome of a converted norn to one of the updated hatchery genomes and was very surprised about what I saw: they were different from each other in over 200 genes.
		A norn that is a baby or child forever may be cute, but it is a very unnatural condition.

	The Truth About Grendels: Norns Eating and Sleeping
		The norns that came with Creatures 2 when it was released were a bit more fragile than players liked, and also had various learning problems (would seem to forget everything after an hour) and genetic problems (females would often become infertile before reaching breeding age).
		You might have noticed that your norn seems about to eat when it suddenly drops the food, holds its hands to the sides of its head like it has a headache (or to the sides of its mouth like it is calling out), and says something like " very hungry, eat food".
		Norns who have too strong needs in other areas will be less likely to eat, so if your norn is whining about being hot, hungry, etc., it may be extremely lonely and bored.

		It is her name given to the Well that nurtures the World Tree; it is her name mentioned over and over in the mythology; it is her name that is cognate with that weird concept of Wyrd.

		Bondi Norns are a lazy beach-bum breed of Norn, but other than that they are very much like other Norn breeds such as the three that come with Creatures 3, or the ChiChi Norns of Docking Station.
		After many generations these Norns evolved into heroic Grendel slayers who continued to thrive and pass their hardy genes on to the next generation, until eventually the Hardman Norns we know today appeared and were discovered by the rather surprised Lone Shee.
		They should breed well with most other Norn breeds, but because of their enhanced toxin-fighting abilities it may well prove to be a little harder to get success from breeding a Hardman Norn with a Toxic Norn.
