The Bondi Norn Pack is available for purchase online at the Creature Labs Mall. Included in the pack are a few neat agents and of course the Bondi Norns - a completely new breed of Norns for Creatures 3 and Docking Station.

What do you get in the pack?

- Bondi Norns - Completely new Norn breed with a unique genome!
- Didgeridoo - Cool new musical instrument.
- Beach Ball - Big and bouncy for hours of fun!
- Crobsters - An edible amphibious critter with a complete life-cycle!
- Crobster Maker - A connecting device to make new crobsters.

What is so unique about their genome?

Apart from their obviously unique appearance, the Bondi Norns also have a unique set of genetics. Bondi Norns sleep a lot and are generally very laid back. Because of this they have no aggression and they hardly suffer from stress.

These Norns live longer than the average Norn - and they take longer to reach each new lifestage. They don't need to eat as often as other Norns either! And when they do eat they get the same nutrition from eating critters as other Norns get from cheese and carrots!

Due to their carefree lifestyle, female Bondi Norns tend to lay their eggs wherever they please. They don't feel a great need to return home to do so - which is good because the Bondi homeworld isn't particularly easy to get to!

Caring for Bondi Norns

To help you care for these Norns, we've prepared a Care Guide which explains more about what makes the Bondi Norns special and how to take care of them. You can find the Bondi Norn Care Guide by clicking here.

The Bondi Norn Story
From the Docking Station Story

One day in his never-ending search through the Warp for exotic teas and alien cookie recipes our friend the Shee stumbled across an alternate future version of Albia. The fall-out from his violent volcanic escape from the surface of Albia had settled millennia ago. The small two dimensional planet had been transformed into a tropical beach paradise!

Relaxing by (and indeed in) the shallow azure oceans, tickling and kiss-popping each other were some of the strangest Norns he had ever seen. Their baby-blue fur had a striking and somewhat metallic sheen! He wondered how such brightly coloured Norns could have hidden from the blood-thirsty Grendels...

On further inspection, the planet appeared to be completely bereft of Grendels - a great surprise! He postulated that perhaps they had succumbed to the deadly volcano... or maybe they were still trapped deep below the surface!

Due to the absence of predation the iridescent blue Norns appeared to have evolved to be lazy and complacent. They lounged around in groups a great deal - bouncing bright beach balls around and stuffing their faces with crab-like critters they called crobsters. He didn't blame them for it seemed that like the Grendels, this world was also missing cheese! A very un-Albian thing indeed.

Some of the Norns seemed to be playing a strange tubular musical instrument which made an eerie and enchanting noise. Listening carefully he heard them refer to it as a didgeridoo. An odd word - but very much in character with such an odd world!

But alas, despite a thorough search he could not find any new plants to make tea out of! And the tiny Ettin population appeared much too lazy to make cookies! With a small but significant sense of disappointment he gathered a few Norn eggs, a beach ball and quickly he mapped the crobster genome for future replication. After a bit of a struggle he also managed to grab one of the didgeridoos!

Before departure he scribbled a brief entry into his Warp diary. He named the world Bondi which was an ancient Shee word which meant, "Jolly nice place for a holiday, but not a sign of tea or cookies to be found!" He shut the diary, clutched his sack of Bondi souvenirs, tapped his portal device and disappeared once more into the Warp...
