Crikiitis

The Crikiitis is a Maxis made creature still present and function-able in the final game

The Crikiitis is a large insectoid creature, it is extremely weak, with only a bite of two. They are slow but very effective social creatures. They rarely attack other species, and mainly go for plants because of their slow speed, however in the event of starvation, their sprint of 3 allows them to reach for flora quickly. They are very similar to another Cricket species in the spore universe, The Crikiit. The Crikiit has superior attack and flying abilities and is most likely a more developed or related species.

Unlike it's counterpart, it is very social and has been seen to mostly use its charming abilities to become friends with other neighboring species, and use them as allies in the frequent battles they get into.

Strangely, like the Crikiit, only its front two legs are in use, and the back four have no use in its walking or sprinting.
