COB
A COB is a Creatures Object - an object in the game for either Creatures or Creatures 2. These objects are stored in .cob files, which contain an image (or images), a description, and some CAOS coding (see COB files for more information on the file format).
COBs are made with CAOS, and with special cob-making programs like BoBCoB, both by CL and by users of the game. For the original Creatures, there are no official cob-making programs - BoBCoB is probably the most popular unofficial one - but there are both official and unofficial tools for Creatures 2.
In Creatures 3 and Docking Station COBs are known as Agents.
If you like a COB, why not add it to the list of known COBs?
Many older C1 COBs are linked to from CObfinder General and TazzMann's CREATUREs UNIVERSE, and a good list of C2 COBs can be found at Creatures of Avalon. Unfortunately, one popular site spanning all games (Where's The COB?) was taken down in late 2001/early 2002.
