A C2 Borg Norn

There are currently three types of Borg Norn available and one in development:

The Borg Norns are based on the Borg from Star Trek and have many unique qualities. As in Star Trek, they assimilate other creatures, giving them much of their own genetics. The assimilated creature soon starts assimilating others, ensuring the potential for a quick spread of Borg genetics. Norns, Grendels, Ettins and Geats are all vulnerable to assimilation -- an assimilated Gaia often looks hilarious! Furthermore, a Borg creature has the ability to teleport, and in the swift of a cloud it may suddenly be located in another floor or metaroom. The Borg society is made up of a queen and her drones.

For a Borg Norn to gain energy, it teleports itself into a chamber where all its basic needs are satisfied. There it can undergo a "regeneration cycle", similar to sleeping while standing up.

The C2 Borg Norn breeds come with sprites, while the C3 BorgNorns use the Bengal Norn (or maybe Fallow Norn) appearance.

Alex Twigg's new Borg Norn feature sprites modeled and rendered in Lightwave 3D, the software used to make the original sprites for Creatures 2 onward.

There is a project to revamp the Borg Norns, including new sprites for the breed. They will have a hairless appearance, the babies will have minimal implants and gain them as they age, and early models have been compared to demonic chihuahuas.
