A Rogue terrorizing a nest of creatures.
Rogue creatures are a type of creature appearing in the Creature Stage of Spore.
Appearances in Spore[]
Creature Stage[]
A pack of rogues.
Rogue creatures are mostly uncommon. They are powerful creatures with high stats and 250 health. They are aggressive towards any creatures other than the player's creature (except in hard difficulty, where they will be annoyed with the player instead). They can be befriended or killed for 100 DNA points.
Unlike other creatures, they are not part of a nest and are only ever encountered alone; however, if a nest of the same species as the rogue spawns on the player's world, the rogue will have the same relationship as the creatures in the nest. If multiple rogues of the same species are encountered by the player, they will also share their relationship with each other. Some rogues, especially herbivores and omnivores, will be naturally skittish of the player, while carnivorous rogues will usually be curious towards the player. All rogues are hostile towards the player in hard mode by default.
The requirements for a creature to spawn as a rogue are as follows: It must have all 4 social and combat abilities, with level 3 or higher in all of them except Bite and Sing, as long as both social and combat ratings are 12 or greater. Other skills don't matter, but with such high stat requisites for them to spawn, they often have them anyway. Because of their social requirements, all rogues must have both feet and graspers, and cannot have a Bot mouth, as they lack sing (unless the game is modded to add sing to them or the rogue has a second mouth).
Other stages[]
Two Rogues very close to fighting.
Rogue creatures only appear in the Tribal Stage as pets if they were part of the player's pack in Creature Stage when the player advances to Tribal. They retain their high health stats, and are often able to survive multiple raids by other tribes. They will no longer appear in the later stages, Civilization Stage and Space Stage, although they are visible during the transition cutscene between Tribal and Civilization Stages.
Spore Hero[]
Rogues also appear in Spore Hero, less vicious and more civilized than their Spore versions.
