The Harlequin Norns

The Harlequin Norn Breed is now ready and waiting for you at the Creature Labs Mall.

New Norn Breeds are a great way to get more diversity into Docking Station or Creatures 3. Continuing with our new Norn Breeds we are now offering the colourful Harlequin Norns. These new breeds are a result of genetic experimentation by the Lone Shee - star of the Docking Station Story.

Rather than travelling around looking for new kinds of Norn, he has started to play around with the genomes he already has - everything from existing Norn breeds through to the plants and critters found on the Shee Ark and the Capillata. As the base for most of his experimentation is the ever-faithful ChiChi Norn - and as a result these new Norn Breeds share nearly identical genomes. The Harlequin Norns are the third new breed made by the Lone Shee's genetic engineering. He wanted these Norns to look like nothing he'd ever seen before!

You can buy the Harlequin Norns
at the Creature Labs Mall.

Extra Harlequin Norn Eggs

Available from this page only is an Extra Egg Pack for the Harlequin Norns. This Pack allows you to hatch Norns with the Harlequin appearance, but with the genome of other Norn breeds. So you can create Toxic-Harlequins, Treehugger-Harlequins, Hardman-Harlequins and Bondi-Harlequins!

You don't need to own those Norn breeds already and what's more, this Extra Egg Pack is completely FREE! (But you'll only be able to see them as Harlequin Norns if you've bought them from the Mall.)

Click on the link below to download Extra Eggs for the Harlequin Norns. Just save the file into your My Agents folder and restart your game - the eggs will appear as new breeds to choose from in the Egg-layer.

- Download Extra Harlequin Eggs Pack 1.

Please note, the Norns hatched from these extra eggs will only look like Harlequin Norns if you have already purchased and installed the Harlequin Norn Breed from the Creature Labs Mall.

The Harlequin Norn Story
From the Docking Station Story

Oh how they laughed. The latest result of the Lone Shee's efforts in experimenting with the genetics of Norn appearance had caused quite a stir amongst his pet Magma Norns.

These new Norns were once again made by altering the genes of a ChiChi Norn. But these ones were ChiChis in wolves' clothing - or rather clown costume! For they were some of the most unusual Norns the Lone Shee had ever seen - their bright, whacky fur patterns were so unusual they were funny. And this made his pet Magma Norns laugh, much to the annoyance of the Lone Shee and the shame of his two new Harlequins.

Through his experimentations he'd been striving towards increasingly more striking and interesting fur patterns. He was very chuffed with his two previous Norn breeds but he wanted more. As he had got more familiar with the appearance related genes of the humble ChiChi Norn he had soon realised their potential for the dramatic. The genetic stage was set and waiting, he just had to move out into the spotlight and do the performance.

And what a performance these new Norns had been - especially in the eyes of his pet Magma Norns who would laugh at anything odd without hesitation. But the Lone Shee and his kin had hesitation, and it was quite clear to him that despite their freakish appearance these new Norns were all ChiChis on the inside. They needed the same respect that he gave all of his Norns - they were not mutated toys for his pet Norns to poke fun at.

He could try and teach his pet Norns otherwise, but he knew it would be in vain. They had no shame, for they were very much Norns and not Shee like he was. They could not see beyond first impressions, or even beyond their own noses. They were limited little creatures, lovingly so - and endearing in their simplicity. But they could be cruel as easily as they could be cute. This was not a welcome place for his new clown-like Norns and begrudgingly he knew something had to be done about it.

He took his time to decide on their fate. But soon the Lone Shee took his freakish Harlequins and solemnly sent them off through a Warp portal. The Warp was already filled with a mass of bizarre Norns and mutant creatures, they would soon find themselves a good home - so no need for the tears of a clown or of the Shee.

As they left he caught sight of two of his pet Magma Norns sniggering to themselves. He pointed at them menacingly and they soon went quiet. They knew what he was thinking: "Be careful or you will be next!"
