Rare References
This isn't worthy of an article (which is why I'm making it on my userpage), but I've decided I'm going to list several different references to the history of the Spore Galaxy as found in various Rares, as well as come up with pointless speculation about them.

Screebles

 * Known in-game creature species
 * Greatest civilisation in the universe, built 18 columns at the foot of the Halactacon Mountains
 * "The History of Spore" and Sporehenge may also have something to do with the Screebles...
 * The Treasured Items may have been created by the Screebles - the Treasured Plate has a drawing of a Screeble's face on it

Hinkles

 * Name is mentioned in the Tablet of the Tribes, which fortunately includes a drawing of them
 * Mammalian tribal race, may have evolved up to Space
 * Knew about Oogies and did not usually eat them raw - Oogies may have originated on the Hinkle homeworld
 * Apparently could have either two or three eyes, or possibly there were two closely-related species (and depictions of the species from as far back as 2005 have even portrayed them with four eyes)

Possible individuals

 * Todd
 * Had a mask that, according to legend, caused wearers to think only linearly and to produce mass amounts of charts, documents and data in an organised fashion
 * Based on the mask's shape (most obviously, the mouth shape), Todd was probably a Hinkle


 * Little Lee
 * Whole sculpture survives, including the base
 * Worked in the sewers
 * Had three eyes


 * Yaman
 * Had a bust made of him
 * Was a bloodthirsty savage on the Fertile Plains, but also a lover of fine music
 * Had only two eyes

Spurgs

 * First race to invent the two-handled jug
 * Only had one arm
 * The "Arkatians" also made two-handled ceramic jugs in the same style as the Spurg ones - were they possibly a race of Spurg?
 * The "Scrolls of the Ancients" also come in a similar two-handled jug

Possible individuals

 * Grumbum
 * Had lips so long he could kiss his own feet
 * Biography was rejected for publishing
 * Possibly a Spurg, based on the style of jug his biography is contained in, although the way he is described makes it seem that he was most likely another creature from the same planet as the Spurgs.

It isn't clear if any of these are Spurgs, but they appear to be the same reptilian species and are only known to have one hand (their left one). Plus, it makes it look like I've actually got somewhere with this.


 * Lamstein
 * Only the leg survives
 * Not very notable, unless used vehicle dealerships are as important as the spice trade anywhere in the galaxy


 * One-Armed Finnegan
 * Only the one arm survives, holding the Torch of Chalmers
 * Only had one arm (his left), apparently (based on the "One-Armed" part of his name) due to unnatural causes rather than being a Spurg, but Spurg-ness is still possible


 * Quimby
 * Only the arm survives; even the writing device that the hand once clasped has gone
 * Same type of hand as Finnegan... same (left) arm, too

Moozilla

 * Known in-game creature species
 * Had a chest that, according to legend, contains a secret which will grant knowledge to transcend time and space

Xyanxes

 * Live in the Girdo Galaxy
 * Like Pink Geodes

Individuals of unknown species

 * Asteroidal Dumaxx
 * Wrote a famous novel called "The Three Cricketeers", which contained three Oogies

 * Dr. S. Fuchs
 * Discovered the Fuchsia Geode


 * Rabban Ankott
 * Twelth King of... somewhere
 * Had at least eight wives


 * Will
 * A barbarian warrior during the Fruit Wars

People who had statues made of them

 * Bradford
 * Had a bust made of him
 * Fourth Ruler of Xenogg
 * Appeared to be a member of an avian or chelonian species


 * Kippy
 * Two Kippys are known - One-Eyed and Two-Eyed
 * One-Eyed Kippy at least was a member of a low-stat two-armed quadrupedal race (similar to those in the adventure "Concert in the Park")


 * Pierre
 * Entire statue survives, including the stone it sits on
 * A member of a frog-like species

 * Halactacon Mountains
 * Location of the 18 Screeble's Columns


 * Xallox
 * Location of the Battle of Xallox


 * Xenogg

Mentioned in spaceship names
Yes, it's legitimate speculation that the names of those seven "_____ian ____er/or" (well, one's a "Shuttle") spaceships may be important.

Minor
