Crystal Meteors are meteorites appearing in Spore Hero and Spore Hero Arena.
Spore Hero[]
Meejee next to a Blue Crystal Meteor.
Crystal Meteors are the main plot point of Spore Hero.
Blue Fragments[]
A Blue Meteor.

From the core of the blue meteor emerges the Sporeling, the hero of Spore Hero, which lands on the planet along with various randomly placed blue fragments. Any creature that comes in contact with blue fragments will suddenly evolve. During gameplay, the blue fragments act like the equivalent of DNA points in Spore. Destroying them causes the Sporeling to absorb them, granting more fragments to use in the creator. If the player's creature happens to either collect all the bones, fight, socialize or complete all the missions in any area, it will gain 10 extra blue fragments.
The Blue Fragments are thought to be created by the Sporeling, used to counter the evil red fragments and to help the planet overcome them. Blue fragments are never found in large amounts in the game, unlike the red fragments that are never found in small amounts (only in large amounts).
Red Fragments[]
The original red Crystal Meteor.
From the core of the red meteor emerges Zarkhator, the one who is responsible for summoning and spreading red fragments all over the planet. The red fragments cause any nearby creature to get corrupted. Depending on the creature itself, it can either get hostile and attack the player's creature if it gets too close, or it can cause the creature to speak in a gibberish language. Some red fragments are connected by energy that will regrow destroyed fragments unless all the fragments are destroyed.
Normally, the red meteors causes chaos to all living things nearby, but the Sporeling is completely immune to the effect of the red fragments. Red fragments and blue fragments do nothing to each other. If found, red fragments should be destroyed immediately! Red meteors are found in every world except the Ancient Grounds. When creatures get near, they go crazy and it puts them into a trance and slowly hypnotized.
Spore Hero Arena[]
In Spore Hero Arena, the crystals are still part of the plot, but they aren't much in evidence compared to Spore Hero. They all come in the form of medals.
Red Medals[]
The Red medals were made from a red meteor that fell upon planet Eses Minnobah. The creature Yeedo crafted them to make medals for arena fighting champions. They cause greed to whoever obtains them, with the execption of the players creature. At the end, Yeedo (A creature from the game) combines all the medals when trying to destroy them, and mutates in to a power-mad beast (which is rather similar to the Godzilla monster Gigan.) They were destroyed by the players creature later on, by throwing them into a volcano.
Blue Medals[]
Blue crystals also come as medals, but for lesser things. They have no ill effect.
