Most of the new hatchers have problems with the Grendel. Here are some tips how to get rid of them.
WARNING: Most people think that some of this methodes are cheating. Yes, they are cheating. So try first to go the hard way or you could loose the fun playing Creatures.
The 'normal way'
Go and teach your Norns to run away from the Grendel. Use some food to make the Grendel go somewere else. Send it away with an elevator. Try everything you can think of...
How to make a 'Fear Grendel'
You can tell your norns that they should run from the grendel. But it's the hard way. Tell the grendel to run from your norns! First it would be usefull to teach the grendel some basic verbes (the 'run' verb is importand). Then teach the grendel to run when it sees a Norn. This is best done when you use a tool like the Selector Lemmon.COB or Creatures B.O.R.G. to select the Grendel so you can see what it's looking at. So when it looks at a Norn, give it a slap and tell it to run. When you do this often you'll get a grendel that runs away from norns.
COBs against Grendels
You will find several COBs for this, some to select and export, others to kill the Grendel.
Get rid of the Grendel forever
Get yourself a copy of the freeware program Creatures B.O.R.G e.g. from my homepage than delete the grendel machine. Now select and export the Grendel. You will never see a Grendel again.
