Iggdrasil, the "most big Creatures site in RuNET!", was an English- and Russian-language site run by an all-Russian team. It had a long history of moves and reworks before eventually going down for good after 2011.

Summary of Content[edit]

- Creatures 3: Some agents and individual creatures, as well as genetic breeds, some with their own extensions to the Docking Station Story.

All game-related sections of the site also contained a great deal of general in-game information, hints, tricks, and tips.
History of Website[edit]
Iggdrasil was preceded by Snow Norn of the Nina in 2000, which was reportedly shut down under pressure from Wafuru. No archives of the main site remain. The Snow Norn of the Nina Creatures 2 FAQ Center could previously be found at http://members.fortunecity.com/nina80/Snow.Norn.Of.The.Nina.FAQ.Center.htm.
Iggdrasil went down for renovation in May 2003, just after the collapse of Creature Labs. This renovation finally happened on February 9, 2008, when Nina opened a new version of Iggdrasil called Iggdrasil v2, a redesigned version working under asp.net v2.5. Iggdrasil v2 was only in English, unlike the previous incarnation of the site, which was available in Russian as well. The author's reason for this is that "the community has grown up and we all lost each other. It's no more "the biggest site" of anything, it's just a remastered content".
Sometime during 2009, the original site at narod.ru was hijacked and deleted. No online copy of the old site is available as of now, though Nina has stated she has it stored offline.
Iggdrasil.info eventually ran out of prepaid time and went offline. Its domain was bought by scammers and offered for re-sale to its former owner for some fun prices (340 euros as of October 2010).
On October 2010, Iggdrasil.net was bought with 1 year of prepaid time, and was the last working version of the site.
