Well, checked my email and the Spore Creature Creator trial version was available, and since I was interested in the game I downloaded it and decided to play around.
In about ten minutes of tinkering around and trying out stuff, I made this bad boy:
Suffice to say I absolutely love the editor, it's exceptionally easy to use and figure out, and best of all despite my misgivings about the editor being limited to cute and cuddly critters, I was able to make a jet black scorpion monster.
I've also made my first primate and will continue to fiddle around and see what else I can make. And to think I could make this creature with the trial version and limited options!
Kick ass!
Consider the game already sold to me, Spore Team. Great job!
There are at least two versions of Trogdor the Burninator.

And several hundred, if not thousand, ambulatory penises.
Not to mention creatures that look like they are two creatures having sex with each other (like this one NSFW). So I can't help but imagine the controversy if one of these things slips through the moderation process.
I made these two whilst dicking around in the trial version.
どうして？お前が夜に自身お触れるから。 Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

There are a frightening amount of penis monsters on youtube.
This is mine, called a vortolon.
I wanted it to look like it could've come from Xen, so 3 arms and compound eyes around a big eye.

I attempted to download it. I got it unloaded, installed, but then I clicked it to start it running.

I don't think so. From what I remember, the creature system was developed in a really funky way.

Having played around quite a bit, my scorpion creature is still my favorite, and thus I felt the need to upgrade him even further. I'd like to think this will be my final version of him, and the one I'd like to explore the Spore worlds with:

Spore requires a Shader Model 2-compliant GPU with 128MB of RAM. Looks can deceive.

It is indeed a fairly sophisticated method and also takes into account things like the skeleton of the creature, which most 3D models lack (and even if they had one, the program would probably have no idea how to interpret it)
You guys have honestly lost me on that one...
