Seamus has left The Creatures, though the Creature history is getting pretty long. The history might need splitting to a new page.


After making the decision to become a more focused group, Chilled and Junkyard were removed from the group (Chilled left because he disagreed with the group's plans of becoming a business and Junkyard was ousted because the others felt that, as a family man, he should rely on his real job for income rather than YouTube, which may not provide enough on its own). In February of 2012, most of the group moved to Colorado near Kootra, launching their group channel, [[http://www.youtube.com/user/thecreaturehub the Creature Hub]]. In November 2012, Gassy was removed from the group, as he had grown apart from the others and was seen as not contributing enough to the group's work. Since then, two new members have been added to the group: At RTX 2013, [[http://www.youtube.com/user/ImmortalHDFilms ImmortalHD]] was made an official Creature, and at the same event the next year, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Dexterboy124 Dexter Manning]] was added to the group. After the addition of Dex, Sly left the group amicably in order to move back home with his family and put more work into his own channel. At PAX the same year, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/GoldenBlackHawk GoldenBlackHawk]] was brought into the group after much fan demand. Together, the group works on such projects as Creature Talk (their weekly podcast), Supercast (a live action series), Tr4pville (an upcoming machinima series based on {{VideoGame/Borderlands}}, and many others, including various gameplay series.

--> '''Seamus:''' Yeah, that's because of Nova.
** Nova's playthrough of HappyWheels has become so popular that the creator Jim Bonacci has watched them, and he had Nova record lines to become his own playable character. Nova's lines were used to make the Pogostick Man
* BatFamilyCrossover: All of the Creatures (and Immortal before he was even a Creature) appear all together in the "Minecraft War" videos.
* BattleCry: Most of the Creatures have these, usually when doing specific things during a fight.
** Seamus yells "Shotgun Rain!" when using a shotgun in battle, and when throwing a grenade he will always say "Frag out!" Sp00n also says the grenade one occasionally.
** Sly will yell [[KobeBryant "Kobe!"]] when tossing a grenade.
** When delivering a CurbStompBattle, usually with actual curb-stomping, Nova will say "Beatin' dat ass!"
** Kootra tends to utter [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim "FUS!"]] when dishing out a swift blow, and shouts the whole [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim "Fus Ro DAH!]] when delivering heavy (usually charged up or just charging) strikes, sometimes with his own variation, "Fus Ro MEOW!"
* BerserkButton: Nova has a collection of rage videos, where he pretends to have a psychological breakdown, usually because of a silly comment or Sp00n breaking the rules.
* BigNameFan: A few game developers watch the Creatures' videos, with the developers of PaydayTheHeist putting in a reference to Nova (see AscendedMeme above).
** Notch, the man behind Minecraft, watched Nova's HappyWheels videos, and was surprised to hear that Nova played {{Minecraft}}.
** In a more straight example of this trope, Julio, Claudia, Kaitlyn, and Chloe who run the Creature Blog apply, as well as misterpandattck, who got popular by making dubstep remixes of the Creatures.
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: When Nova, Seamus, and Danz play the XBox360 version of ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'', Seamus and Danz don't create custom names before the game starts so the game created random themed names for them, Nova created his own name. The names were "Paper" (Danz), "Plastic" (Seamus), and "Fuck Doodle" (Nova).
* {{Catchphrase}}: Everyone has their own, but the word "Brown" is used commonly by all of the Creatures, meaning bad, stinky, or used in place of a curse word. It was first said by Sp00n, but Kootra has since taken it, as he uses it the most. Also, the Creatures have said multiple times that it is in no way racist.
** Most members of the group also use "MLG" when describing how good they are at a game (even if they aren't). This pokes fun at Major League Gaming circuits and serious gamers.
** 'I don't follow [X] news' is the most recent one, the original being 'I don't follow Skyrim news'.
** Another new one is "Cheese it!" when the Creatures are running away or escaping from something in the game.
** A minor one is "High horse" used mostly by Nova, Seamus, and Sly. It's used to describe something that is very large, lavish, and/or over the top.
* CelebrityResemblance: People have said that Kootra looks like Tom Cruise.
* DeadlyGas: Apparently coming from [[VideoGame/DeadRising2 Sullivan's]] ass to power up the zombies.
* TheFaceless: Sp00n. The closest we've come is a vlog with him wearing a horse mask.
** He ''was'' faceless, until RTX 2013 where he revealed what he really looks like. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments And he did this by pretending to be an audience member asking if Sp00n will ever show his face]].
* FatAndSkinny: It was originally Dan as the fat one and the rest of the Creatures as the skinny ones, but Dan has lost weight while the audience keeps pointing out how the rest have put on weight.
* FiveManBand
** TheLeader: [[UnfitForGreatness Kootra]]
** TheLancer: [[{{Jerkass}} Nova]]
** TheSmartGuy: [[ForScience Ze]]
** TheBigGuy: [[LeeroyJenkins Seamus]]
** TokenEvilTeammate: [[{{Trickster}} Sly]]
** TheChick: Danz
** TheSixthRanger: [[WildCard Sp00n]] and [[ThreePlusTwo Immortal]]
** When Chilled, Junk, and Gassy Mexican were in The Creatures, [[BrooklynRage Chilled]] was another [[TheBigGuy Big Guy]], [[CoolOldGuy Junk]] was the TeamDad, and [[ManOfAThousandVoices Gassy]] was another TheChick.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Almost every time Guitarmasterx7 is included in Creature Talk, he asks a "hard-hitting question," where his victim will have to answer a question where any answers he provides are bad outcomes. The most famous example is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwwWhLqp7Y0 "the gorilla question,"]] where you must choose between cutting off your penis without any hope of reattaching it, or being anally raped by a silverback gorilla for three hours while a news helicopter films it.
* FanCommunityNicknames: Creature fans are sometimes called "Critters" or "Creature Cats."
** Most members of the group themselves avert this thinking it's silly to name fanbases. Nova's fans jokingly call themselves the "Anal Army", further mocking it though some fans have now began using the name to legitimately refer to the fanbase.
** [=SlyFoxHound=], plays this straight, calling his fans "Homies".
** Fans of [=SSoHPKC=] are part of 'Team Silverback', coming from Seamus's hilarious response to the infamous 'hard hitting question'.
* FirstNameBasis: Most of the Creatures are at this point by now. Here are where each one stands specifically:
** Kootra is called Jordan by most of the Creatures, but he is still occasionally called Kootra.
** Nova is called James by most of the Creatures, but is still called Nova by the others, except for Kootra who always calls him James.
** Sp00n is never called by his name Nick, except on a couple of occasions by Sly.
** Ze is always Ze, and not ever really called by his real name Steven.
** Dan is just Dan, since his Website/YouTube name is only one letter away from his real name (Danz).
** SSoHPKC is always called Seamus, and has always been called by his real name rather than his username.
** Sly is usually called Sly and not his real name Eddie.
** Immortal is generally called by his name Aleks, but there are times when he'll be called "Immortal."
* GameBreakingBug: While not always game-breaking, Nova and Sp00n have [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] that whenever they play a game together, it ends up being very glitchy.
** When first playing Minecraft, Sp00n experienced strange glitches and bugs that included seeing enemies that weren't really there, falling endlessly through the world when respawning, not being able to pick up some items, and seeing events that Nova created long after they happened.
** With SaintsRowTheThird, the glitches started out relatively harmless, with things such as people driving invisible cars being seen. But then it was literally game-breaking, with Nova's game crashing permanently, forcing them to move onto the PC version. Since then, they've experienced NPC allies not doing what they're supposed to do, getting trapped in the ground or in walls, and a couple more game crashings, although without causing permanent damage.
** With [[VideoGame/TheDarkness The Darkness II]], enemies will randomly teleport from place to place, even through walls. This is the game that they were playing when they noticed every game they play ends up being extremely glitchy.
** Nova and Sp00n's random Just Cause 2 multiplayer videos, experience a lot of these due to the mod being in beta stages still and it probably doesn't help that there are tons of people on the server, glitching around and falling through everything.
* HeterosexualLifePartners:
** Nova and Sp00n. Nova usually falls into VitriolicBestBuds territory with others, but with Sp00n, they work together pretty well (even though they usually get off-task), even if they make fun of each other occasionally. Nova even goes out of his way to be nice to Sp00n, like with the infamous Minecraft cake incident. Ze and Chilled can also apply.
** Nova and Dan have developed a relationship like this. Before moving into the Creature House, they rarely interacted, but since then they've bonded, most likely due to a shared love of ComicBook/TheWalkingDead. Nova is noticeably less confrontational with Dan than with other Creatures.
** Nova with Seamus, especially on Minecraft.
** Sly and Immortal, long before Immortal even began working with any of the other Creatures. They even live together.
** Nova and Immortal have recently become this.
** Immortal is this with Dexter Manning, who he works on SanityNotIncluded with.
* InkSuitActor: Nova chose to play as Logan in ''Dead Island'', Logan resembling him a fair amount, and this didn't go unnoticed by him nor the other players.
* KleptomaniacHero: Kootra is often criticized by his peers for this in games, to the point they described ''VideoGame/DeadIsland'' "a Kootra-proof game" when everyone was actually getting items.
** This leads to the nickname "Hoardan," given to him by James, since he hoards everything.
* LetsPlay
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Nova and Kootra are often compared to this. In one episode of Creature Talk, Gassy joked that they had too much UnresolvedSexualTension.
* {{Machinima}}
* OurFounder: Statues of the Creatures made by fans often crowd up the spawn whenever the Creatures restart their {{Minecraft}} server.
* RedOniBlueOni: Despite wearing the opposite (red Cardinals cap and Cookie Monster motif, respectively) Kootra is far more calm than Nova whenever they play together. Both are equally excitable, pushy and also scream like little girls when scared and running, but Kootra not only maintains his no-swear policy no matter what, he still remains somewhat level-headed, while Nova gets mad the quickest, yells really loudly, and swears a lot.
** To compare the two:
--> '''Kootra:''' ~siiiiiiiiigh~ I lost everything.
--> '''Nova:''' WHAT THE [[PrecisionFStrike FUUUUUUUCK]]?!
* RunningGag: A whole lot. Some usually stay within one series, but others will be used more often.
** The Creatures used to often say "I can break these cuffs!" or "can't break those cuffs!" as a reference to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aIukxT2ymk this]] video. This led to the Creatures sometimes saying "Can't break that pig!" whenever they had trouble killing a pig in {{Minecraft}}. This isn't said much anymore, however.
** Kootra's terrible stench is often mentioned, after one occasion when the title of one of Nova's videos called him "smelly guy Kootra." Since then, Kootra has embraced this (to the extent of when trying to recreate 'Smell' in Draw Something, he wrote his own name).
** In Nova and Sp00n's VideoGame/DeadRising2 playthrough, Sullivan's ass creating the gas zombies was a notable running gag. This has not yet continued into their Dead Rising 2: Off the Record playthrough, but Sp00n mentioning how fat Frank has become has created a new one.
** When Nova and Sp00n played [[VideoGame/{{Resistance}} Resistance 3]], they almost always called each other by their characters' names, which were Joe and John, the most plain white people names, according to them. Then, there was "John doesn't exist," because Nova's character John was not part of the story and was only included to be the second player's character, and also "Over here!" which is what the characters would constantly yell when downed.
** Seamus' answer to Lyle's gorilla question is so popular that his fans have become known as "Team Silverback," and his affair with the gorilla is frequently mentioned in his videos.
** Sly's "When you see a chicken, you gotta hit it with a shovel" song.
** Whenever one of the Creatures starts to sing a real song, one of the others, usually Nova, will yell "Copyright!" Then, the song will usually be sung again, with the word "Brown" used instead of some of the lyrics.
** Nova's "Wiggle dem nibblets!" in HappyWheels.
** A physical variant has arisen in the form of the [[http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/F3cg1CB3xH8/mqdefault.jpg face]] that Seamus made in Gassy Gets A Haircut. Whenever The Creatures do a fan meetup, there will inevitably be a moment where they all pull this face. This is referred to as "The nasty face."
** Eating during commentaries and mentioning people complaining about how "unprofessional" it is.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Nova and Kootra can act like this. Also, they've been described to be LikeAnOldMarriedCouple (see above).
** Nova has this of the celebrity variety, usually blaming any bad thing that happens in {{Minecraft}} on its creator Notch, and always yelling for him to fix the ladders.
** Kootra sometimes acts like Immortal is his sitcom arch-nemesis.
* SpecialGuest: While the other commentators outside of the group can be considered special guests whenever they play with then, Nova and Dan played with Chandler Riggs (Carl on [[Series/TheWalkingDead The Walking Dead]]) during their "Hershel's Land" Minecraft playthrough as a celebrity guest.
* {{Spoonerism}}: Literally, one of the members is named Sp00nerism, although his Website/YouTube account's name is thecampingtree.
* StuffBlowingUp: In the GTA 4 shenanigans videos, Seamus + rocket launcher = dead Kootra & Dan.
* UnpleasableFanbase: The Minecraft fanbase according to Nova, Seamus, and Sly in the fourth episode of [[MinecraftTheExCommunicatedSeries Ex-Communicated]] regarding rain being added to the game.
-->'''Nova''': How long does it fucking rain for, dear God.
-->'''Sly''': I don't know. This is annoying.
-->'''Nova''': Everyone was waiting for the rain update and now it's one of the annoyances.
-->'''Sly''': *laughing* I know right?
-->'''Seamus''': *mocking voice* Oh my God, weather effects! Oh wait, we don't like them!
-->'''Nova''': *mocking voice* Now it fucking sucks, it's making my FPS go down, it's fucking lagging, it doesn't stop, it's loud, enemies don't die...
* UnusualEuphemism: Amongst many others, a specific one is "Fireknight." The Creatures say this instead of "faggot" in reference to a {{Minecraft}} player they met while griefing named Fireofknight who annoyed them so much that Kootra called him a faggot. This wasn't revealed to mean faggot until a recent Creature talk, where Seamus accidentally said it, which is further reinforced by Nova screaming that he "gave it away."
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: This will be abused. A lot.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Nova with everyone, especially Kootra, Seamus, Sly, and Immortal.
* [[WhatAreRecords What are VCR's?]]: In one Creature Game Night: Nova, Seamus, and Danz are playing Family Feud. One of the questions is "Name something someone would plug in." Nova enters "VCR" and was very annoyed when his answer received zero points. He angrily shouts at the game that people still own VCR's.
* TheWikiRule: [[http://thecreatures.wikia.com/wiki/The_Creatures_Wiki Yes.]]
