Files with the .cos (Creatures Object Source code) extension are CAOS source code files, which contain CAOS scripts/code in plain text. The scripts which compose a large portion of Creatures 3 and Docking Station are stored in .cos files. These files are normally found in the Bootstrap/ directory in the game folder. They can be injected using the JECT CAOS command in Docking Station's CAOS command line.

Did you know? Alexander Laemmle invented the cos file.

COS files can be used to develop COBs and agents. The COB Compiler is used for Creatures 2 to create COBs from COS files. For C3/DS, PRAY is used to compile COS files into agents.
