After the launch of the Creature Creator, some gamers have tittered their way to creating potentially offensive characters, dubbed "Sporn." Since Spore shuffles and deals these millions of player-generated assets into each game, you might encounter Sporn in your own universe. Sure, you can limit outside content to only your friends or official game assets, but you can also banish the occasional, offending creature.

I've only found one true Sporn creature in the wild, but he--and I'm sure it was a "he"--popped up quickly. After less than two hours playing, I came across this well-endowed Zaldo. I never provoked him, but given the parts used in his creation, he seemed to attack with his most prominent asset.

Fearing that he'd turn into a pivotal ambassador or something I'd keep seeing later in the game, I banned him. An auto-generated email appeared in my mailbox from EA, saying they'd look into the creature, suggesting he wouldn't appear randomly for other gamers.
