COB's Galore
COB's Galore
Here is a selection of the best COBs on the net. If you are a COB author, don't think twice and send off your
creations here via e-mail!
Cow V.1.0: This COB introduces a friendly cow into Albia. It produces milk (Milk Bottle V.1.0) and makes norns feel better when they stroke (push) it.
Milk Bottle V.1.0: A bottle of warm milk for your norns. You need the Cow to fill them up once they've been drunk.
Pear Tree V.1.0: You have the chance to introduce a new plant in Albia. You will first get a seed planted by the temple in the garden. Watch it grow into a tree and flower. But you'll have to polinize the flowers in order to get fruits. Then these fruits will rot after some time, so be carefull!
This COB injects some frog Spawn into the pond, under the Herb Garden. After some time it will hatch, and out will come some tadpoles. The tadpoles will swim around for some time under water, and will grow, losing their tail and pushing out four legs. Finally they will metamorphose into frogs. These will first stay around the shore, and after a while, they will climb up the Tree's roots, finally getting to main ground level. Once there they will hop around, croak and eat all types of insects. If you've installed my Pear Tree COB, you'll have a battle between bees and frogs, the first trying to get to the flowers, the second filling their stomachs ;-). Frogs finally die, but new frog spawn is installed by the pond.
Tickling Feather V.1.0: This COB is simple but effective. It acts almost the same as the hand. Just drop the feather in front of a norn or grendel, and he will be tickled continuously. This is useful to keep a norn/grendel still in one place, or simply to be friendly to your norns. If you want your norns tickled now and again, but can't take care of them, just drop a few feathers around them. When they brush past, it will tickle them and make them giggle :-).
NEW! Cat V.1.0:
This is a GREAT new COB. It is basically a Tamagotchii in COB version. It simulates very
simple a-life, and in this way you do have to look after your cat, or it will
die. Cats need to be fed now and again, and in the meantime they do loads of
other things: play, sleep, walk around, scratch themselves, wash themselves,
pur, sit down, look around, etc. If a cat is hungry, you will see him miaw in
an annoyed way. If a cat is hungry and isn't fed he will die. When you first
inject the COB, you will find an egg in your hand. After some time, the egg will
open, and the cat will be born. From now onwards, you'll have a cute-looking cat
runing around Albia and playing with all the toys and animals.
Rain Storm V. 2.1: A favourite among all breeders. A rain cloud travels around Albia mainland, moving from the grendel tree to the watch tower. Your norns can even be struck by lightning! :-)
Grendel Trap V.1.0: A really useful COB. Now you can trap the grendel in a cage and place it where you like! The best way to get rid of him.
Chocolate Bunny V.1.2: Delicious chocolate for your norns in the shape of a bunny! :-)
Tickets for the hand V.2.0: Places the camera on seven diferent spots so you don't need to worry about loosing your favourite places when resetting: The Grendel Tree, The Garden, The Herbs Garden, The Cannon, The Island, The Falls and The Treehouse. Very useful.
Encyclopedia Nornica V2.2: Five books with all the words a norn can learn.
Double World Sign V.1.1: This COB injects a pair of signs which together can display an 18-letter word describing your world.
Many other of her COBs can be found at her web site.

The Duck: One of his latest COBs. It's GREAT! It will inject a duck into the garden. Watch it run :-). Graphics by Nemes Zoltán.
The GrapeVine: Installs a vine near the cannon that will produce grapes, a very nutritious fruit.
The Ant Hill: A wonderful COB. Injects an ant hill in the garden. Try this one out if you haven't already got it!

Super Speech Toy: A great COB, you MUST have this one! Now your norns (and grendels) can learn the complete language. :-))
Playpen: Another great COB. It gives you the chance to put your babies in it while you attend to other things. You can put adults in too if you activate the Darwin/Doctor cheat.
Chicken Soup: Good for treating sickness and as a food source too. It has many positive effects on your norns.
Norn Doll:
Makes norns and grendels less angry, lonely, etc, and remind them to eat food.
The effects are highly experimental, as it's the first COB to do anything
neurological.
Full
Term Pregnancy Infusion: checks the current Norn for a pregnancy, and if
the Norn is pregnant, carries the pregnancy to full term.
Grendel Selector: Selects the Grendel as your current creature. This way you can train him or export him, for example.
Much more can be found at The Norn Underground, his web site.

Doggy: A nice
doggy will be injected in Albia, with positive effects on the Norns. Good fun
:-).
Grubs: Injects
a few grubs that roam around Albia. Norns can eat them.
Cage: The cage
will be imported into the garden. When the grendel gets close to it, it will
grab him and lift the cage up into the air. You can release the grendel.
Flying Fish:
The fish will swim around in the ocean between the island and the lighthouse.
Bubble Wand:
The Bubble Wand will be attached to your hand. Place it wherever you like. The
bubbles have positive effects on the nearby norns.
Mutant Clock:
An update to the clocks in Albia, which allows them to chime when pushed.
T-REX!:
The T-Rex is a pet for your Norns! It will scare any Grendel it comes in contact with, but will not harm Norns in any way. He snorts as he makes his way around Albia and roars when pushed.
Other of his COBs can be found at his web page.

If the COB you've just installed gives you an error it could be due to various reasons. In the first place, you might have forgotten to put the .SPR files in the /Images subdirectory, or the .WAV files in the /Sounds subdirectory. If this is not the case, make sure you have updated Creatures to version 1.0.2. If there are still any problems, you might have to reset Albia with the Emergency Kit, but don't forget to export your norns before!
The best to do is contact via e-mail with the COB author if you still have problems.
