Cherinob Character Pack for Spore

The Cherinob Character Pack for Spore is a limited set of Spore creations made with the focus of trying to show the non-humanoid forms of several characters from the Cherinob saga. It as explored in 2018, released in 2019, and then re-released on the Labs blog in May of 2020.

Development
This pack began with curiosity about the use of Spore for creating alien civilizations. When its limitations were put into perspective, it later became a gateway for discussing the use of the Creature Creator tool for generating possible "true" forms for various Apthalans and Biroots from the Cherinob saga. While getting these creatures to behave consistently with what they represented proved impossible, the creature generations themselves were preserved for download.

Distribution
The initial set of uploads were prepared around February 11th of 2019, for distribution on DeviantArt. In May of 2020, Dozerfleet Labs took over as the primary carrier, with MediaFire as a download host.
