An unknown species of creatures. Probably created by the Shee.

The term is used within the game and genetics editor to denote the species slot in the later Creatures game engines(Creatures 3 and Docking Station) unused by an existing ingame species. It also is typically used in third party to create the actual Shee. Another good example of the use of geat is in making sprite sets for other already breeds after all of the other slots are taken. Lis Morris's Gaia for C3 is a good example: it is a creature that didn't fit under the typical creature divisions. The slot wasn't widely used in development until C3, and while it did exist in C2 but with a different name(Shee)it didn't even exist in C1.

In Norse Mythology, Geatland is another name for Götaland, an island which nowadays is in Sweden and the Geats were the Scandinavian inhabitants of that island. According to Jordanes and modern archaeological finds, Geats are, in reality, the same as the Goths.
