Warrior's communication background. Details' colors change with creature's coat color.
The Warrior archetype is one of the ten archetypes in Spore.
NPC empires with this archetype are considered fierce, robust, and sometimes cruel. Oftentimes, NPC empires are hostile toward the player and other empires. They may demand tribute to avoid military conflict. Warriors start out with -15 relationship points on easy difficulty and -30 relationship points on medium or hard difficulty. NPC saved games of Knight archetype will follow the Philosophy of Force.
Empires of the Warrior archetype acquire the Raider Rally consequence tool, which can be used to instantly create a pirate raid event on a colonized planet.
Gaining the archetype[]
Through evolution[]
The Warrior archetype is awarded to species that gain a majority of red cards, or reach the Space Stage from creature with the last stage finishing on red.
The recommended path could either be red-red-green-red or red-red-red-blue, depending on whether one wants extra spice or a relationship bonus in the Space Stage.

Warrior's Philosophy[]
"The Warrior Empire is strong and powerful. The Philosophy of Force is the only choice. All other philosophies are weak. Those that are strong enough to follow the Philosophy of Force will have the added power to call in a fighting force to attack their enemies."
Although Warriors and Knights both prefer to use force to interact with other Empires, it is obvious that Warriors would rather fight for their own intentions, unlike Knights who fight to 'clean' the galaxy from evil.

Trivia[]
- Sometimes, after a "Destroy all Turrets" mission, the warrior empire will mention and speak fondly of their pet Oogie, notably in a non-aggressive way. They will state that the targeted empire stole their Oogie.
- If you ask them about their philosophy, they will sometimes think it's because you're scared of them.
- Their philosophy and voice is similar to the Klingons from Star Trek.
- They often mention that their empire could defeat any other empire, but one, which obviously means the Grox.
- Sometimes if you meet a Warrior empire, they will act like a grumpy, old man. For example, they might say, "Stay off of our lawns! And "Any frisbees we find we're keeping!"
- Sometimes, if you fail a destroy turrets mission by hurting citizens or buildings, they will yell at you for hurting their friend that was captured.
- Warriors dislike the Grox, and see them as the ultimate military challenge. They also believe the Grox have 'no warrior spirit'.
- When a Warrior ally requests your help in fending off pirates, they call the mission "Target practice".
- The background of the Warrior's Communication Panel is similiar in design to the Interior of Klingon Warships from Star Trek.
