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 networking capability.

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, 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.
