The Creature Stage is the first stage your creature will be able to walk on land. Now we'll have a 3D world to explore with the new legs! With those new legs you will meet new creatures, made by other players, and earn DNA points with each interaction. You decide if the interactions will be friendly or hostile.
Your creature will continue to adapt in this stage. Collecting more DNA points means more new body parts and abilities "buy" in the Creature Creator. Each creature will find themselves with one of three powers all based upon the cell stage.
