16:10 - vampire squids are actually NOT squid! they're not octopus either though! they are their own unique type of creature :) from the Monterey Bay Aquarium website: "Scientists named this animal Vampyroteuthis infernalis, which means “vampire squid from hell.” But this name is misleading - it’s not a squid at all! It sits alone in phylum Mollusca as the only living member of the family Vampyroteuthidae."

They're both carnivorous and for the most part solitary so trying to go omnivore was such a weird choice. None of them have eyestalks either so that was another weird choice.
A few more notes about octopuses: they can regrow tentacles and each one moves completely irirrelevant to other ones...meaning it's like each one has its own mind...furthermore they "play" which is non existent in any other animal nearly related to them (it is seen in "clever" verterbrates like cats and dogs and dolphins) not only that they have MORE brain cells than cats which is huge because in the genetic tree they are just...odd nothing near them around them or before them is like this and their common progenitor with more clever beings is a freaking worm in the very first branches of evolution...they are absolutely amazing creatures
As far as I know, octopi aren't very social 😀 They're famous for fucking up the leading scientific theory that intelligence develops hand in hand with social intelligence, because they live a life in solitute. They're very special creatures in every way. Loved the video, as always!
Hey Jankum, just gonna let you know if you didn't know already--In the stage after the Squirties become prey, there is always always ALWAYS, a meteorite with the spit part if you didn't get it. Anyway, great video on Spore again!
idea for a creature challenge: SCAVENGER! you can eat plants and/or meat (up to you!) but you are not allowed to hunt a creature or harvest fruit yourself. it has to be free-floating food pieces (cell stage) or a creature that was killed by another creature, or the fruit in creature stage that’s laying on the ground. basically if it’s not already dead then you can’t eat it! i’m not sure how food works in tribal stage, but if scavenging would be very difficult or not even possible by then, we can say that once they’ve evolved that much then they have figured out hunting and gathering lmao. you could design them like a vulture, but there’s lots of scavenger animals out there to find inspiration from! vultures are one of my favorite animals though so i think they would be cool, there’s also lots of beaks available in creature stage iirc?
Might want to do a few runs in spore to get use to the trait systems and basic survival. My suggestion would be an achievement run to learn the systems as it helps with the nuisances of the game. Though I'm fully aware of time limitations so just a few points to help you. -In cell stage use the floating debris and water current 0s to outmaneuver large predators. You as a player should almost never die as with practice you can avoid most things. -For more parts in creature stage target the alphas in every nest as the give a part. Farming parts is as easy as hunting or allying the aloha and returning at a later date when there is a new one. -For slow builds sneak is your ally a good amount of stealth can help you survive the part rich areas held by epics. -Look into asymmetrical limbs it's an easy thing to do that will really help in these design challenges. Thanks for keeping our favorite childhood game alive
SPORE! Wow this takes me back! Really enjoying this, very cute little character you got here. Also all octopi are carnivores. Fits with the beak option anyway. 43:17 The Spongebob music slayed me xD
1:43 Octopi is correct when referring to a group of only one type of octopus. Octopuses is correct when referring to a group of *multiple* types of octopus. And Octopussy is a James Bond movie.
Don't know if you've tried this, but would love to see a legless challenge (any difficulty). The rules would be as following: 1. No speed parts in cell stage (flagellas, etc.) 2. No legs in creature to tribal stage. 3. No speed parts on your vehicles (meaning you have to have a 0 speed stat on your civ vehicles). 4. And of course the theme of the creature would have to be slug or snail So basically I want to see a tedious and slow playthrough of spore, hope you like it :)
@@jankster Thanks for the reply, I’ll make sure to watch those videos! It would still be cool to see you play a snail/slug run, since they, like the octopus, are pretty alien-esque. Something less tedoius, that also follows the alien-like animal theme would be the giant isopod, they are just really cool, would love to see you play as one
Hey Jank.. Outta all the research and talking to some Marine biologists (yes i have a few on call) Most are carnivores, and from the species that my contact has studied none of them have any herbivore tendiencies, though Octopie are lightly social so ending in adaptive can be a good thought too
I been meaning to ask what are your obs settings when recording these? because each time I've recorded the game myself so many glitchy screens throughout the recording and could cause a real problem to some viewers who have epilepsy, I dunno obs and spore just don't get along well for me
Octopi are normally assumed to be carnivorus however, things in the ocean are a bit different. There aren't really plants as we know them, the closest are algae and it would be odd if there aren't octopi that at least supplement their diet with the plantlike matter.
You can still affect what type you get after you are done with the stage. You could have just kept eating plants so you could get omnivore. This also works for creature stage.
Love the spore vids. Now i understand how annoying the space stage is, but i think if you make the alien of the octopus it should take over the galazy. They are that smart after all and probably would

You've got a great opportunity in this series to use Octopus Prime since it sounds like Optimus Prime.
I agree octopus prime should definitely be a name sometime
Please name him this 🙏

When you get to city stage - go steampunk/clockwork - Clocktopus

"Vampire squid from hell" is such a good title for a trash horror movie...
It also kinda sounds like a very cool name for a pet ferret, idk.

Similar story to sea horses, contrary to popular belief, they’re not *actually* horses!
thank you spore man. i'm sorry you're the spore man. i'm sure you'd like to not be stuck exclusively playing spore but i appreciate you
This comment seems like an attack 😂
"Before I die, just let me mate!" He's got the octopus gameplay down perfectly.
"What's wrong, is the big bad octopus man coming to steal your bones?" That is a pretty scary thing to say tbf
"We're going to call this the 'Protopuss'. Yeah, that's fine." BRO I'M dead.
Omg you should really make the tribe stage look like a mind flayer
seconded. space stage becomes Cthulhu :P
Who up flaying they mind rn?
Octopus are in fact Carnivorous. So happy accident indeed.
No, they’re not just check google.

23:40 I sure hope your octopus doesn't have bones, that's like a defining feature of an octopus
If I remember right they, in fact, have a singular bone which is used to partly protect there head brain.
@@Raurie4 you might be thinking of a squid’s gladius
@@williamscott2580 not quite! chitin is not bone
@@williamscott2580 yep that's the squid!
"What other color are octopus" creatures famous for their camouflage and ability to be any color...
I’m sure he meant when the octopuses aren’t flexing their chromatophores; default color.
Maybe it's just me but the stalk eyes for an octopus drove me crazy. Thier big eyes on the sides of thier head is a defining feature.
I get you bro, but it helps If you remember these are octopus-adjacent aliens
ngl your octopus might look like a mad scientist in the civilization or galactic stage
or CTHULHU!
This is actually a lot of fun, no metagaming, just pure creativity. Nice
0:16 Actually, it's canonically Milky Way. You can find the Solar System in its rightful place, with Earth and all other major planets

I mean they gotta survive and don't fight predators head to head so they just avoid each other unless necessary
Did not expect to see u here, love ur stuff btw
Question: what about the so called "octopus cities" they found that are basically small colonies of octopodes?
"Is the octopus-man stealing your bones?" is a line straight out of a horror story, I love it.
You're definitely my new favourite Spore let's player. Your humour and play style is great!
Who was old one then?
most spore videos are either silly penis monsters or actual artistic masterpieces, you do a little of both and I think that's great c:
Bros making mindflayers
Type shi
I think a mosquito is in order next
oh god. or hornet!
I did a Wasp...in fact I did three...

The way they walk around is cursed. Imagine something like that running at you IRL. NOPE.
Octopuses are carnivorous so lucky you lol. Im surprised you didnt look it up while playing. I google everything lol
Yeeeaaah, it really bugged me when he made him an omnivore. I just took it as since the became land dwelling, they adapted.
26:45 "as much as I don't want to be these things friends I even more so don't want to fuck with them" 💀
Unwillingly tolerant racist be like:
I need to hear him do the " Kuzco's poison" bit in the same voice he used to say beautiful in the beginning
I imagine octopi will take the world over if the world ends up flooding, have no idea why
Your spore videos are so entertaining I have to watch them every time I encounter them

"Getting a brain is just too much for some people." Truer words have rarely been spoken.
13:20 It surprises me you're so keen to get the poison part, when the jet part would be more in line with all octopodes. =P
Friendly reminder: octopus actually means “eight feet” not eight legs, so take that as you will.
“What an Adonis of a man,and I’m not talking about drakes kid. Well his first kid” I’m fucking dead dude
Bro, this dude is hilarious
His voice tone is so calm
And then he just goes SHIT!!!
2:46 spot-on impression of Brock Samson
He sounded more like Joe Swanson
24:08 ah the famed enemy of all octopi, the log, the oldest rivalry in history.
Congratulations, you were correct all octopi are actually carnivorous 31:06
That “your mom” joke was the best I have ever seen, Congrats sir, You made me laugh at a your mom joke…
Best Joe Swanson voice ever 2:45
My main spore game is indeed an octopus empire. They are zealots and I allied The Grox, lol.
Octopi ARE known to punch ('strike?') fish. :p

Near the end it slowly starts to look a TINY bit like a crab

I wonder if he will go the Mind Flayer route

SPORE! Wow this takes me back! Really enjoying this, very cute little character you got here.
Also all octopi are carnivores. Fits with the beak option anyway.
43:17 The Spongebob music slayed me xD
How would it move if you do asymmetrical limbs and very slightly move each limb (I did that to a spider and walked kinda like the real thing)
As a cell you looked more like a spider then the spider series
Joe Swason: beautiful, look at us go
I would say a Tardigrade is alien like
"deep orange"???
Congrats, you invented the colour red. 😂
And "lightish red" is pink
this guy kinda sounds like kronk sometimes and i think he'll quickly become a new favourite of mine
This was very funny, I always enjoy a weird Spore video
Platypus definitely takes "earth's weirdest animal "
awesome commentary. great personality :)
2:40 realistic way how octopuses got to earth
i’ve never seen someone struggle so much with just pointing their mouse to control direction
You could have given him jets, since that’s how they move
He let his Kronk slip out a couple times
Speaking of Alien like creatures on Earth I think the Platypus is a great contender since they are basically ever creature trait smashed into one.
Weirdest animals: Platypus, octopus, echidna, antarctic scale worm
1:43
Octopi is correct when referring to a group of only one type of octopus.
Octopuses is correct when referring to a group of *multiple* types of octopus.
And Octopussy is a James Bond movie.
I thought the correct term for octopus plural was Octopodes
Suggestions for future evolutions : crab, crayfish or crocodile
21:25 you could've also had a pair of vestigial arms using the flagella, which later develop into the 4th pair of limbs.
The probuscus gave me the idea of making a mosquito
as they evolve, I think it would be natural progression if thurned into something like a religious mind flayer
Would like to see a part 2 of this video!! Great job ! 👍🏼 also looking forward to Pokémon in spore!!
21:45
"Car broke. Phone, yes?"
First video I've seen of your. But fully invested. You sir get a sub.
Squid have 10 arms, 8 tentacles and 2 grasping arms.
Spore tips use herbivore in the beginning of cell stage for omnivores, as there is less plant material to eat later on
Fun fact! In the cell stage, you can put both the carnivore and herbivore mouths on your creature, makes it easier to get the path you want.
that thing is gonna evolve into dr zoidberg
The lantern fish!
It's an alien...for sure.
Don't know if you've tried this, but would love to see a legless challenge (any difficulty). The rules would be as following:

i've basically done that twice actually, I've played spore as a snake and without evolving! Both are very tedious and slow, you'll love them!

this is the earliest ive been, recently found your channel. so i was like, wheres the second episode?! of, 3 hours ago lmao
Living these spore videos! keep it up

In the previews for this game they showed an underwater stage. There should have been an option to play as an under-water civilization
I been meaning to ask what are your obs settings when recording these? because each time I've recorded the game myself so many glitchy screens throughout the recording and could cause a real problem to some viewers who have epilepsy, I dunno obs and spore just don't get along well for me
I had the same problem at the start! To fix it, play the game in windowed mode and use window capture in OBS. That should do it
@@jankster gotcha thx this will help alot :)

You can preview your creature's walk cycle from the creature editor using the button with the paw prints in between the parts and skins menu buttons.
You can still affect what type you get after you are done with the stage. You could have just kept eating plants so you could get omnivore. This also works for creature stage.
Jet in cell stage is something squids have
My lord that second creature he made friends with in the creature stage, its lower eyes and mouth looks real suspicious

Welcome!
The terrestrial octopus reminds me of the Swampus and the Squibbon from The Future is Wild.
I expect him to look like davy jones at the end of this
Obviously you have to do the ultimate evolution next: become crab
Actually, Octopi only have 7 "arms" and one OwO, which they do use as an "arm" when not mating.
The 8th limb is actually an arm, it’s an arm modified into also being a reproductive organ
Basically a doink for a finger
