'''Norns''' (''Cyberlifogenis cutis'') are a [[species]] of [[creature]], created by the [[Shee]] to entertain them and serve [[tea]] and [[biscuit]]s. They were [[genetic engineering|genetically engineered]] on the disc-shaped planet [[Albia]]. Many were abandoned there as the [[Shee]] took off in their spaceship, the [[Ark]] (although they took a few of them along). They are lovable and innocent creatures, who need some care to survive, though some [[breed]]s are more capable of living in the wild.

Norns are the main [[Alife]] attraction of the games in the [[Creatures series]]. They compete (to an extent) amongst one another, and with the other species present in [[Albia]] and on the [[Ark]]: [[Ettin]]s and [[Grendel]]s. Players can choose to help them survive, usually by active management of their [[environment]] and the addition of various helper [[COB]]s/[[agent]]s, or leave them to fend for themselves over extended periods of time in [[feral run|feral]] or [[wolfling run]]s. Some go even further in their "testing" of norns, which others refer to as [[norn torture]].

Norns, like other creatures, do not naturally speak [[Handish]], and must be taught it via a [[Computer]], or other tools such as the [[Super Speech Toy]]. Their native language is known as [[Bibble]]; other species have their own dialects.
 
 
 
'''Did you know?''' The name "norn" came from [[Norse mythology]] and refers to "the three old women who sit round a giant tree spinning men's fates." (from [[Tips.txt]]). It is also the name of a [[Wikipedia:Norn language|language]] [http://www.orkneyjar.com/orkney/norn.htm] once used in [[Wikipedia:Orkney|Orkney]].
