    Created by: Ross

    After failing miserably trying to create a Pikmin (ended up diverting to this instead) and before trying to produce a facsimile of Futurama's Nibbler, I decided to play God with the Final Fantasy staple Moogle (a Japanese portmanteau of "mole-bat").

    Although they have small-to-nonexistant mouths when visualized, in Spore you're not given the option to go without a mouth, so instead of trying to hide it somewhere else on the body, I decided to make the least obtrusive mouth possible.
