The DS logo

Docking Station is a game in the Creatures series, set on the Lone Shee's spaceship, the Capillata. It is known for being the first Creatures game with online networking capability, see DS Server.

It is available to download for free, but can be docked with the retail Creatures 3 to make an even larger world, hence its name. In addition, several breeds are available to add to the game, some official, some third-party. Each of the official breeds has an entry in the Docking Station Story.

Docking Station features an improved version of the Creatures Evolution Engine (Including the NetBabel protocol which is responsible for internet-based things such as the warp), and some agents are designed to work only with it. Conversely, others require Creatures 3 to be installed if they use scripts or sprites from it.

Rooms

The game is small - meaning that docking with Creatures 3 or adding third-party metarooms is a requirement in order to make a reasonably-sized world to play in - but still comes with several metarooms:

To see third-party metarooms, check out Category:Unofficial_Metarooms!

Agents

Agents of note include:

Breeds

Docking Station includes the ChiChi Norn but there are many other official breeds that come as part of Creatures 3 or can be bought from the Creatures Mall to be used with it:

There are also many third-party breeds available for free download.
See Category:C3/DS Breeds for a listing of breeds for DS!
