Talk:Grox/Archive 2

The point of the Grox

 * An obstacle for the player
 * All good space adventures need an evil species
 * Spore is all about placing life in a lifeless galaxy, the grox are there to destroy it
 * They are there to prevent the player from getting to the Galactic core
 * They are trying to stop us from getting the staff of life so we can't kill them off

Anymore ideas ? Wormulon 10:46, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * To provide the ultimate challenge for both Militaristic or Diplomatic players? Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs


 * They are just there to give the stubborn players a goal in the game. in my opinion.DanceWithTheDevil 01:11, 29 January 2009 (UTC)


 * To provide players a challgenge, and to hide a great reward, kinda like 'bosses' in other video games. Gyromite 05:24, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

They seem to oppose life, and want to destroy empires and provide an obstacle to the Galactic Core.They seem to attack and raid for the fun of it. attacking T2 and t3 planets they cant colonize....maybe they are the "bad guys"HerbisoarEmpire 00:56, 14 February 2009 (UTC)HerbisoarEmpire

To protect the Galaxy, mainly Center from impostor from other races. Imperios 20:43, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

To be a major plot point, possibly to use in other games, or just to make us speculate pointlessly. I love speculating pointlessly! It's so fun! --Liquid Ink 05:40, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

I think the Grox were designed by whatever higher power made the Staff of Life, as a defense or some kind of 'test' to see if a person was worthy of recieving the Staff. Surpassing the Grox is the ultimate proof that you are worhy and deservant of the Staf.. FNRKK 23:17, September 1, 2009 (UTC) to be the ultimate boss

Exactly, I think that they were posted as a gaurd Empire and transported there from steve's end of the Galactic core. I think they got carried away though. The reason behind thier weaponry may be thier origin from another galaxy.

Grox = Fox?
Grox look little like foxes. Could the name Grox come from Fox, not borg? --Mikto 9:54, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Unlikely, as The Grox speak borg quotes. - OmniSpore101


 * Maxis has said that they simply turned Borg backwards and used Grob as the original name. Later, they changed the "b" ending to "x" because it looked better. But, the Grob name is still found in parts of the game's code. So, the name never had anything to do with Fox. Treb2466 19:09, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Maybe they got the "Ox" part at the end from "Fox", while kept Grob's beginning. --UBFunkaneer 03:39, October 24, 2009 (UTC)UBFunkaneer

I think the Grox look like evil rabbits. Wormulon 13:13, October 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree. Evil red robotic rabbits. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 13:18, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

If you combine 'Spore' and 'God' then add an e at the end, record it, then play it backwards, it says 'Grox' Holomanga 14:33, October 25, 2009 (UTC).

My cousin said they looked like Evil Furbees! STMF(10:18 A.M., 1/13/10)

Grox history
What's up with the history section, it's in the wrong size, bolded and I'm pretty sure everything in it is unfounded - Dark Noo Noo 09:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Fixed. 10:12, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Government
The Grox may be an Autocracy.--Liquid Ink 08:08, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * And that means...?--GroxJB1000 1:38PM, 4 September 2009 (UTC)


 * The link is rather self explanatory. If you want an answer, you should probably follow the link.  Probably should have done that in the first place.   20:33, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

Seeing as how the Grox are often compared with the Borg, I personally don't see it as unreasonable that they don't have a government per se, but instead they're all linked together as a hive mind, perhaps coordinated by a network of computers operated by a select few individuals. ChrisGJ777 10:57, October 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * I always thought of the Grox as more like the Cybermen from Doctor Who.--Liquid Ink 05:33, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

I thought they were more like daleks.The Grox say exterminate,and kill everything for no reason.Magnificent One 11:36, January 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * They're probably based on both. As for the Grox government system, I think it's more likely that they have a Borg/Cyberman-like Hive Mind, mostly since they show no signs of different ranks, but partly because Grox starships are simply called "Grox" - they seem to be considered as much Grox as the city-dwelling cyborg humanoids, something that I think is more likely to be the case in an omnipresent Hive Mind than in other systems in which the ships would just be thought of as equipment. However, the Conqrix seem to operate using a military hierarchial system like that of the Daleks. 11:57, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Dronox and Insectrox Taxonomy
Should we give the Dronox and Isectrox their own Taxonomy?--Liquid Ink 23:09, September 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think its a good idea. --The Valader 17:14, November 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't see why not. 17:19, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Steve's minions
I believe Steve  may  have created and placed the Grox around the Galactic Core so only the most powerful and intelligent species can reach the core.

I don't believe so, but you may be right.--Liquid Ink 07:52, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Its just that he states - "You have traveled very far and overcome many obstacles", which means other obstacles like evolving etc. but, he may also mean the restricted travel radius around the galactic core and the Grox. Wormulon 13:40, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Maybe he's been in some pocket dimension so long he dosen't know whats going on in the Galaxy, so he just assumes there's some obstacle out there.--Liquid Ink 06:03, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Policing
I'll hire Captain Tybusen as the police-person for this line of duty. Jex1 19:48, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
