Nosey is a Maxis-made cell, appearing in the Cell Stage. It is the first cell you meet with proboscis in the game. They appear in Level 3 as predator-sized cells.
Noseys are docile cells. In easier difficulties, it is very unlikely that a nosey will attack you. They are also the fastest cells in Level 3 of the Cell Stage.
They are one of the most dangerous cells you will meet, due to their speed and ability to quickly dash from different directions onto your screen and attack you. If you are going to kill a nosey you should try to lure it into a cluttered area and take advantage of its slow turning speed. If you are going for the Pacifist achievement but also want the mouth, just let another cell kill one.
Acquiring a Proboscis from a Nosey[]
Nosey is one of the only two creatures that can give you an omnivore mouth in the Cell Stage. It is hard to acquire the Proboscis however due to their speed - an easy tactic if you don't have great speed is:
1) Make sure you have the Jet already - otherwise your hard-earned nosey kill will give you the Jet instead of the Proboscis.
2) Find a nosey eating from a large plant.
3) Attack it from behind and try to push it in between the leaves.
4) Continue attacking until it dies. That way, you can kill it without having to chase it down.

Trivia[]
- Nosey has secret earlier jets that were not available in the final game but can still be accessed in the hidden cell editor.
- Nosey says "ow!" or "dangit!" when you attack it. Goldy, Paa, Maa and Junior all say "ow!" when attacked. Bloato makes a loud gulping sound when sucking on a cell. These are some of the many cells in Spore that happen to speak like humans.
- Nosey originally had a slightly different design before being redesigned into its final 2008 design.
