Mouth

Mouths from the creature editor:

There are 40 mouths to choose from, including mouths with pincers, suckers, sharp teeth, and plain old human-like lips. Each mouth has a different attribute that will affect the stats of your creature. A large mouth full of teeth, for example, may give your creature 5 points to its biting ability. The type of mouth also affects whether your creature will be a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore. You can place as many mouths as you see fit on your creature, and you can place them wherever you want, but every creature must have at least 1 mouth to be saved.  There are twenty omnivorous mouths, ten carnivorous mouths, and ten herbivorous mouths.

Note: All abilities are limited to 5 points.

Mouth part data
The names were taken from the most current patched and released version of Spore.

All mouths provide a mating call and at least Bite 1 and Sing 1,with the exception of the new bot mouths,which have no sing level. Four mouths on the same row will give creatures voices that are similar, if not the same.

The free demo contains the Reptilian and Insect mouth parts.

Following is a list of all the mouths arranged in order of complexity cost: Modifying the mouth's size, but not shape, will affect the creature's voice.

Voices
All mouths sound unique and determine the way your creature sounds for the rest of the game.


 * Reptilian mouths will make deep, growling noises, like that of an alligator, or a large dog. For some reason, when singing, they almost sound like a young child. Their mating calls differ between the Spore Creature Creator and the full Spore game. In the Creature Creator, their mating call consists of four barks, but in the actual Spore game, it makes more growls then the creature creator.


 * Insectoid mouths will make chirps and clicks, like that of a cricket. This is the sound that cell mouths make, also. Their mating call is actually a sped up version of the Willosaur mating call from GDC 2005.


 * Fish mouths will make clicks and squeaks, like that of a dolphin. Their mating call consists of various dolphin squeaks.


 * Birds of prey mouths will make squawks and honks, like that of a parrot. Their mating calls are that of a Peacock.


 * A reference to talking parrots, in the creature editor and creator (mainly in the test drive mode when babies are added and interaction is happening) as well as during creature and tribe stage you can hear creatures with any bird of prey beak say "Hello there" in a stereotypical squeaky parrot's voice.


 * Primate mouths will make ooks and squeals, like that of a chimpanzee, . Like the Reptilian and Radial mouths, their mating calls differ from the Creature Creator and the full Spore game. In the Creature Creator, their mating call consists of growling, whereas in the full Spore game it resembles that of a chimpanzee.


 * Radial mouths make deep croaks and roars, somewhat like seals or sea lions. At sing lv. 5 it makes a bellowing sound like a elephant .Their mating calls differ from the Creature Creator and the full Spore game. In the Creature Creator, their mating call consist of various gurgling sounds, but in the full game, it is a high-pitched screaming sound.


 * Amphibian mouths will make high pitched croaks and clicks, like that of a treefrog, or for some, a bullfrog. Their mating call consists of various squeaks.


 * Mammalian mouths will make bays and honks, like that of a donkey. Their mating calls are a long, howling sound somewhat like a cow.


 * Swine mouths will make oinks and squeals, like that of a boar. Their mating calls consist of snorting or howling.


 * Songbird mouths will make chirps and birdsong, like that of any songbird. Their mating calls consists of soft singing.

In Galactic Adventures, the mouth a creature has will affect its language if it is intelligent. If a creature has a mouth with lips, it will speak in a gruff male voice, however, if it has insectoid or radial mouthparts, the creature speaks in a rasping language consisting of clicks. The beaked mouths also sound different, even from each other. Creatures with raptor mouths speak with a high-pitched language consisting of squawks, while songbird mouths speak in a language consisting more of soft cooing.

Cell Mouthparts
These mouths are only available in the Cell Editor. They can be kept when your cell evolves into a creature, but if they are taken off, they cannot be put back. All of them have the same "voice" as the "Insect" row of mouths. When a Herbivore mouth and a Carnivore Mouth, you become an Omnivore and can eat both Meat chunks and green plants. Another mouth, Proboscis, is an omnivore part but you cannot eat meat chunks with it. Instead you must eat plant buds or suck the meat directly from other creatures. It is earned by killing the cells Nosey or Bloato.

The "proboscis" is a mouth that is earned in the cell stage by killing a Nosey or Bloato. This mouth costs 25 DNA and makes your cell an omnivore. The proboscis is a mouth that lets you suck the juice out of plants and the blood out of other cells. Although this mouth makes you an omnivore, you can't eat meat chunks. Although it is an omnivore mouth, it does not make you an omnivore for later levels if you just eat eat other cells or plants.
