Species
In Spore, you will meet many different creatures, but all creatures are part of a species.

Cell Stage Species
In the cell stage, you'll encounter cells. Some weak, others strong. Some species, such as Nosey, can give you good parts. There are six parts you can unlock. These parts are spike, jet, cilia, proboscis, poison, and electric. These are earned by killing cells of certain species that contain these parts.

Creature Stage Species
In the creature stage you will find creatures in an area called a nest. This is the creature's species. You can choose to befriend the species or kill them to extinction.
