Squigglys are Maxis-made cells present in Spore.
Description[]
Squigglys start appearing on level 4 of the Cell Stage being predator-sized. They possess the filter mouth, spike, flagella, beady Eye, and stalk eye cell parts. Strangely, squigglys will also try retaliate against any cell that attacks them. However, herbivore mouths don't do any damage or block hits, so this usually results in them either dying or ignoring that attacker if they don't do anything for a while. Predator-sized ones will just ignore the attacker though.
Bugs[]
- Sometimes predator-sized squigglys can have giant bursts of speed.
Trivia[]
- Squiggly went through design revisions during Spore's development. It initially was designed as a carnivorous cell, then in 2008 had its designed switched to a design similar to the carnivorous one but with a filter mouth, then finally had its design changed to the final version. This is likely why they retaliate against cells that attack them.
- Squiggly is likely based off of a Bacillus bacteria.
- It resembles the Grubby in that both are green flagella-bearing herbivores with multiple eyes.
- Squiggly is designed in a 3D editor. Most parts are slightly rotated away from the camera. This is the most prominent with the stalk eye and the flagella.
