This is a guide to downloading creatures from the internet to use in your Spore game.

== Method 1 ==
#Find and select the creatures you wish to add to your game.
#Download the .png files to your computer.
#Boot up Spore.
#Go into your Sporepedia.
#Minimize Spore so that you can see your desktop.  On Windows, this can be done with the Windows key between Ctrl and Alt on the keyboard, or by pressing Alt+Tab.  For Linux, wait for somebody else who knows how (pressing start menu key might work).  For Macs, press command then the return button.
#Navigate to wherever you saved the .png files.
#Select the creatures you downloaded to add to your Sporepedia.
#Drag them into Spore by dragging them onto the Spore taskbar button.
#Once Spore maximizes and reloads, finish dragging the picture files onto your Sporepedia.  If this was done correctly, you should now have all the creatures you downloaded in your Sporepedia.
#(Optional) You may wish to delete the .png files from where you saved them when downloading in step #2.

== Method 2 ==
#Find and select the creatures you wish to add to your game.
#Download the .png files to your computer.
#Place the .png files into your "Creatures" folder.
#They should now be usable.
 
== Method 3 ==
This is if you want to edit them immediately, or if method 1 failed

#Find and select the creatures you wish to add to your game
#Download the .png files into your computer
#Boot up Spore
#Go into the Creature Creator
#Minimize Spore so that you can see your desktop.  On Windows, this can be done with the Windows key between Ctrl and Alt on the keyboard, or by pressing Alt+Tab.  For Linux, wait for somebody else who knows how.  For Macs, press command then the return button.
#Navigate to your .png files
#Select one of the creatures you want to edit
#Drag them into Spore by dragging them into the Spore button on the task bar
#As soon as it hovers over the Spore button, Spore will maximise and reload
#Finish dragging them onto the creature in the creator
#The spore creature from the .png files will replace the creature you saw in the editor previously
#Save & Exit
#(Optional) You may wish to paint or edit it first, and you may wish to delete the .png files afterwards, as they are no longer necessary

== Method 4 (Galactic Adventures needed) ==
#Find and select the creatures you wish to add to your game
#Download the .png files into your computer
#Boot up Spore
#Go into the Galactic Adventures
#When you go into the Creature Creator, drop it into the Creator.
#(With the Grox): Edit the ear to save; (With another creatures): Edit it, then save. Mata4Nui

==Additional notes ==
You can use these creations in the game as long as you have ''that creature's'' parts. You can use downloaded creatures in the creature stage if you press ctrl+shift+c and then type in "evoadvantage" (no quotations) in the box that appears (press ctrl+shift+c again to close the box) . Then start a new game (starting at the creature stage) and then you can select that creature to use (as long as you have all of its parts).
