	Norns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Norns spin the threads of fate at the foot of Yggdrasil, the tree of the world.
		The Norns (Old Norse: norn, plural: nornir) of Norse mythology are three dísirs by the names of Urd (the past), Verdandi (the being) and Skuld (what is to come).
		The counterparts of the Norns among the Greeks were the Moirae, known to the Romans as the Parcae.

	Creatures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It's worth pointing out that the genetics in Creatures are somewhat different from human genetics in that they are haploid and therefore any "evolution" is a result of random cross-over mutations and so there is no concept of dominant and recessive genes.
		Development was suspended on future Creatures games on March 20, 2003, when Creature Labs ceased operations, but development and trademark rights have since been purchased by a company named Gameware Development, Ltd. Gameware has revived the Creatures Developer Network, the shop, the forums, and have released many before-purchaseable tools and add-ons for free.
		Creatures 2, released on September 30, 1998, took place many years after the first game, after a devastating natural disaster (or, as explained in later games, a devastating Shee disaster) had changed the landscape of Albia dramatically and opened up new areas of the world.

	Norn - Creatures Wiki
		Norns (Cyberlifogenis cutis) are a species of creature, created by the Shee to entertain them and serve tea and biscuits.
		They are lovable and innocent creatures, who need some care to survive, though some breeds are more capable of living in the wild.
		Norns, like other creatures, do not naturally speak Handish, and must be taught it via a Computer, or other tools such as the Super Speech Toy.

	Game Reviews: Creatures
		It's the Norns that are the focus of the virtual experience, and it's the responsibility of players to nurture them from birth through death.
		This is not as easy as it sounds, for although Norns can learn and respond to praise, punishment and a limited number of commands, they also face plenty of challenges: maintaining good health, finding enough to eat, developing a vocabulary, and avoiding the hungry Grendels.
		Norns can be taught about 40 words (including their names) and trained -- and the responsibility of teaching the young Norn is an important one.

		Creatures is an artificial life computer program series, created in the early 1990s by English computer scientist Steve Grand whilst working for the Cambridge computer games developer Millennium Interactive.

	Dave Chess's Creatures FAQ
		Creatures is a way-cool computer game (although it's only a "game" in the loosest sense) that puts you in charge of a world containing critters called norns, which you can take care of, train, breed, and so on.
		Version 1.0.0 (and probably 1.0.1) of Creatures has a bug that sometimes causes norns (especially norns that you've exported and then imported again) to be registered wrong; children of these misregistered creatures will sometimes have "unregistered" in the corresponding slot on their birth certificates.
		A Saturn norn (named perhaps for the first recorded norn to show the symptoms?) is one that is especially vulnerable to cold, or at least tends to shiver at inappropriate times.

	IGN: Creatures Review
		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.
		Some Norns are born "less-gifted" than their parents, and have a hard time of learning anything at all.
		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.

		The Norn's cheers and whimpers, along with their well developed facial expressions, made it hard to think of them as just virtual pets.
		Creatures is a game for those with a massive amount of patience.

	Norns
		The Norns of the Norse Mythology are three old crones by the names of Urd (fate), Skuld (necessity) and Verdandi (being).
		This clear subjection of the gods to a power outside their control and the implication that they, too, will have an End are major themes of the literature surrounding the mythology.
		Norns are also a fictional species in the computer game series Creatures.

		Everytime a Norn came across an elevator, more often than not, the elevator became a toy and the Norn would endlessly ride up and down the elevator.
		After hatching, baby Norns typically run outside to the garden where food is. However, the babies have not yet associated food as a means to curb hunger.
		I expected a hungry Norn, after eating, to quickly associate the use of food as a means to control hunger.

		Norns, the creatures you start out with are very cute, and can teach their children volcabulary, if you teach them enough.
		You can breed norns and ettins in the same world together, of course you can also have grendels there, but the problem may be, that the grendels can sometimes kill norns and ettins, so I recommend to breed grendels in separate world.

		But remember that your creatures' characteristics are handed down from generation to generation, so though you can't protect them from all harm, the more you succeed, the greater your chances that you will be blessed with masses of intelligent offspring.
		This is the universe where the intelligent and inquisitive little Creatures survive, learn and evolve amongst other Norns and in their surroundings.
		Creatures have a mind of their own, but through your guidance, their curiosity, and a good helping of parental care, you will spend hours of fun exploring new worlds as you interact with other like-minded Norns.

		Norns are the "stars" of the Creatures series of games from Mindscape, "virtual pets" that inhabit a world inside your computer.
		They grow and learn, at first from you, and as you get more norns living in the virtual world on your computer, from each other as well.
		In Norse mythology, the Norns (also known collectively as "nornir" and "the wyrd sisters") are the goddesses of destiny, roughly corresponding to the Fates in Greek mythology.

		Creatures is a thought-provoking, often frustrating game in which you create "Norns" and then try to teach them survival skills, speech and social skills.
		You may have up to seven or eight norns in your world at a time, but you can export norns for future use, or give them to a fellow creatures player.
		The norns are very cute, but when you tell them what they do they don't listen.
