This is what the Hypepax wear in my story “Rage Against the Creator”. It’s also what they look like in Space Stage in my installation of Spore, which I made them in so I’d have at least one saved game that made it to Space Stage after starting in Cell Stage.

On their backside, they have more hair on their head, something covering their backside that’s only available to Space Stage creatures, a backpack over that, smaller Space Stage exclusive outfit pieces around their short tail, and a metal cap on the tip of their tail. That thing poking out from behind them gives them better sprinting ability. On the sides of their tail are branches that are part of their body, which let them be more charming and sneak around better.

(Spoiler for the final chapter of Rage Against the Creator!)

These are the Yer, an alien species I made in Spore to use in the story. This screenshot doesn’t show their long necks with a projectile venom launcher where the Adam’s apple would be on a male human, their tail that ends in a spike ball, or the orange stripe down their backs.

In-game, they have the stats needed to be Rogue creatures. The requirements for those are a minimum of 12 total Combat stats and 12 total Social stats, with at least 3 (out of 5) for Dance, Charge, Pose, Strike, Charm, and Spit. So that means you can have one with Bite 1, Sing 1, and 4 in two of the other three for each type of interaction and still have the potential to become a Rogue.

Rogues only show up in the Creature Stage and the Tribal Stage, and even then, the only Rogue creatures that show up are pack members you brought from Creature Stage. They’re like a smaller cousin of Epic creatures, which are more common and appear in both of those stages as well as the Civilization and Space Stages. While Rogues are formidable in combat, they make for powerful allies. You’re not supposed to ally with Epic creatures (unless an adventure with the Galactic Adventures expansion has that as a requirement for an adventure someone made).
