Creatures 2 is the second game in the Creatures artificial life game series made by Creature Labs, and the sequel to 1996 game Creatures. It features three species: the cute, dependent Norns, the cantankerous Grendels and the industrious Ettins. The game tries to simulate life, and includes a complex two-dimensional ecology of plants, animals and insects, which provide the environment for the three main species to live and develop in. The player interacts with the world using a hand-shaped cursor, and tries to encourage the creatures' development by manipulating various objects around the world, guiding the creatures using the cursor and encouraging the creatures to speak.

Discover a large, living landscape - the surface a world called Albia. You exist in this world only as a virtual presence, a sort of remote-control existence, which the computer portrays as a hand-shaped mouse cursor. In this world are a range of locations and strange creatures, related loosely (and with considerable poetic license) to Northern myth. You begin near to the long-abandoned home of a family of Norns (small furry creatures), where a few eggs, languishing in a broken-down incubator, are almost all that remains of the Nornir race.

Over a thousand years ago, the ancient civilisation of Shee left the world of Albia in a giant spaceship to find a new home. When the Grendels attacked them during the flight, they escaped to their new planet's surface, abandoning the Norns and their spaceship in orbit. But the Norns are not alone, and with your help they can thrive. You'll find a host of advanced machines to help you - all of which can be plugged together to make huge automated devices.

Creatures: Raised in Space is essentially a Playstation port of the pet simulator game Creatures 3, with modified gameplay mechanics. As in the previous titles, the player controls a fairy named Scrubby, who acts through the cursor issuing orders to the Norns when used over interactive portions of the scenery. Like in other life simulation games with artificial intelligence, the creatures can't be commanded directly and must learn behavior patterns through repeated actions. The Norns can get sick or exhausted and eventually die, and one of the main tasks is to manage the colony to avoid their demise, ensuring that all its inhabitants are well-fed and healthy by eating fruits and consuming medicinal herbs. A series of meters at the bottom of the screen show the population status. The game takes place in space, inside a giant station with a domed ceiling protecting a closed ecosystem. The main objective is to open all the rooms, by ordering a Norn to carry a key to unlock a door or passage. Deeper levels have aggressive enemies and poisonous plants that have to be avoided by the Norns. There are blue stars scattered throughout the scenery, and the creatures can be trained to fetch and store them inside a machine, generating a new key after twenty-five stars. Norns can breed and lay eggs, producing offspring that takes some minutes to reach maturity.

Creatures Adventures was more of a sandbox then a simulation, like the other Creatures games, and was targeted toward a younger audience.

Creatures 4 is the fourth Creatures game, a strategy game developed by Fishing Cactus and published by Bigben Interactive for the PC, Mac, iPhone, and iPad platforms.

Creatures Playground is one of two titles in the Creatures series intended for young children (ages 4-10).

Creatures Docking Station is a free multiplayer add-on for the game Creatures 3. The game can also be played stand-alone with limited options and a downsized playworld. Like the previous games in the series, in Docking Station you breed Norns and raise them. You can teach them to talk, play, eat, avoid hazards and reproduce. Each Norn has its own set of genes which is passed on to its children. With this online version you can easily pass on your genes to Norns from all over the world and chat with other players.

This is no ordinary game. By playing Creatures, you will be taking part in one of the largest Artificial Life experiments ever. Raise and train a troupe of cuddly virtual life creatures that live on the Capillata space ship and help them reach the level of advancement sufficient to fly it. This task is not easy, Norns are eager to learn but because they own individual personalities they may not always do what you want them to (or even what you expect!). Like a good parent you must be patient, teach them new things using many tools available and raise them the best you can so that after some time you could be proud of how much they have managed to achieve.

Creatures 3 is the third Creatures game, a strategy game developed by Fishing Cactus and published by Bigben Interactive for the PC, Mac, iPhone, and iPad platforms.
