ABSENT HALF-LIFE GRENDELS of Grendel Man

This strange breed was sort of a happy accident. After I had fired up a new world in Creatures 3 and finished with setting everything up, I threw the starter parents into the Gene Splicer and spliced them together. After I had done that, I decided to start randomly throwing stuff into the Gene Splicer and find out what came out. So a bunch of creatures went in, including a female Arimedes GoM, a Chameleon Ettin, and several breeds of CFE creatures.

The end result was a charming little blue grendel with the back legs of a bengal norn. After playing with him a little, I decided to look at his genetics to see any special requirements he might have. Interestingly, I found he lacked a lot of genes - notably, a half-life (hence the name of the breed). After I made a female clone of him, I threw them both into the Medical Bay, and I found out they lacked a heartbeat.

So what did I do from there? I decided to tweak the appearance and color genes a little and made them into a genetic breed.

The end result? Grendels who were undead, stuck in the baby lifestage, and probably wouldn't die no matter what nastiness you threw at them (Besides piranhas, the airlock, etc.), but on the plus side seemed pretty friendly and were happy all the time. So if you want grendels, but don't want them to flood your world with babies or attack your norn population, these guys might be for you.

Absent Half-Life Grendels use the sprites of the standard C3 Grendel (Grendel slot A) and the Bengal Norns (Norn slot B).

Installation: Put the .agents file into your "My Agents" folder, and you should be able to hatch Absent Half-Life Grendels with the Norn Egg Layer or Muco.
Also included are the first two Absent Half-Life Grendels - the male who started it all and his female clone. Put them into your "My Creatures" folder, and you can import them into your game with the "Import" option on the Creature Selection Menu. They can be imported into a C3-Standalone World as well as a DS-standalone/Docked world.
