* The Norns were redesigned in ''Creatures Online'' to be more human-like and easier to train and look.

* Digging through the code in the original ''Creatures'' found that Grendels were coded to be physically unable to tickle or kiss (friendly actions) other creatures; the code would turn them into slaps or punches instead. Now, imagine if you were physically unable to touch someone in a harmless or friendly manner. Imagine if every time you tried, something beyond your control would turn it into an act of violence. A handshake would become a slap, a gentle nudge would become a punch, a kiss would become a vicious bite... All this makes the Grendels come off as ''victims'', not the vicious monsters they're supposed to be.
