I'd make a logo or something in this General area, but I have no skill of
that, so if anybody would contribute, I will give you full credit, and my
personal thanks.

Creature Guide
by
Schragmeister
Version History
1.00 4/29/05 - Basic info complete. Working on strategies and basic gameplay
tips. Most of the Creatures done, but Rhino still uncomplete.
1.10 5/1/05 - Happy May Day all! Fix a bunch of spelling mistakes, redid the
entire Strategies Section, and added a whole lot more of them. Also the
Version History. I also changed my screen name on here, because I wrote this
guide before signing up with gamefaqs.com and my screen name on here was
taken. Oops. Apologies to SquirrleMan if he ever reads this. May add some
other things, but a little busy
1.11 5/2/05 More spelling mistakes done, and a couple more stratagies.
1.20 5/3/05 I finished the Rhino! I didn't work too long on him though,
just enough to get the basic idea. This means that the Creatures are done!!
But this is not the end, my friend! Also fixed a few more spelling errors,
and added a ton of new strategies. Updated the intoduction, and added a new
Creature List.
1.30 5/4/03 AHHH! I spent over 3 hours today reformatting my ENTIRE guide!!
Messing with the font, size, and counting 79 3 billion times really gets on
your nerves huh? Also moved a few things around, and corrected a few spelling
errors. Pardon me now while I go slam my head against that wall over there.
1.40 5/7/05 Added a few more strategies, and fixed 3 spelling mistakes.
1.41 5/10/05 Added the sites where this guide is allowed under the Contact
Me Section. If you see it anywhere where it isn't allowed, please notify
me immediatly.
1.50 6/6/05 Been awhile since the last update. Sorry. But I'm still active
with this thing. Added a "User Tips" Section. This section will be dedicated
to YOU guys.
1.60 8/5/05 Long time since an Update, but I had spent 7 weeks out of town and
unable to work on this thing. This version, I added a few things sent in by
readers, and made grammer and spelling changes. Also made Creature info easier
to read. I'm planning on working on this thing to make it that much better.
Please keep sending me info, strategies, questions, and more to help me keep
this FAQ going!
1.70 2/17/07 No, you read that date right; it's been almost two YEARS since an
update, and I'm sorry for that. However, I have once again decided to delve
into the world of Black and White. With any luck (and maybe some helpful
contributions from the readers) I can make this guide better than ever!
1.71 2/19/07 So far so good; my guide has gone from 35kb to over 50kb in the
past two days. 98% of that was written today in a writing session lasting
roughly 7-8 hours. Ouch.
Changed a helluva lot of content, fixed a bunch of spelling and
grammatical mistakes. Added a whole new section under Strategies chock-full
of tips about leashes. Check it out for a helluva lotta strategies on them!
Oh, and I added a complete in-depth section under III. Creatures to help you
pick what Creature you want at the beginning of the game. Also I added
subtopics under the Table of Contents to help you find what you're looking
for. Also added an About the Author section because, damnit, I'm bored!
I also added a lot to the final words section of my guide. I might add
Creature dances and special moves later on, but not in this version.
God I need a life...
1.81 5/24/07 Fixed a couple spelling and grammtical errors, and began the
dance section. As I don't have them all yet, feel free to send them to me.
Also, send me the special moves if you know them, because I plan to add
those features next time I update.

I. Introduction
(This guide was made with NotePad, and is probably best used in at least
800x600 resolution)
A. Legal ...stuff...
The following information are writtin by me, and me alone. Any hints added
to the guide by other people will be put in the Credits section. I, Sam
Schrage, wrote this guide myself, and with no other help besides the people
in the credits. Do not take my work. It is plagurism to take one's work
without proper written permission from the author (ME). You may print off
sections of this guide for personal uses, but you may not sell it for any
profit, monetary or material. If you do steal my work without my written
permission, I will persue legal action to the extent of State and Federal
Laws. If you do wish my work on your site, please contact me, and ask
nicely, and 99% chance that I will say yes. If not, I have my reasons.
Again, I worked very hard on this document, so don't jack it.
B. What is B&W?
With all that junk out of the way let's start. Many people may be
asking "What is Black and White?" First step - get out of that rock you're
living under. Whats next? "Who's Mario?" Black and White is a horribly
addictive game. It settles on a Sim game. Only a Sim game with, um, big, er,
animals. Creatures actually. There are 17 creatures. (19 with Creature Isles,
but this isn't the expansion now is it?) Each creature has its own weaknesses
and strengths. Well maybe except the Mandrill and Ogre, but we'll get on to
that juicy part soon.
C. What will this guide do for you?
This guide is a compendium of information about the 17 Creatures in Black and
White. It contains a reveiw of every single Creature, and tell how to aquire
it in the game. It will hopefully help you choose what Creature best suits
your style of play.
Along with the the Creatures, this guide is full-chock(yeah I switched it up)
of strategies that I have used along with a few that readers have sent in. If
you wish to contribute, see section VII. of this guide. These strategies are
incredible useful in regards to handling Creatures, and are invaluable to
bringing him up.

II. Why it was written
I've been searching for about a year now, and I haven't found one
complete creature guide. I realize that Masked Moogle has an very nice guide,
but it hasn't been updated in forever(I guess I don't have room to be talking
there...) For the 7 people that care, this is my first guide ever written for
a game, so bear with me. As I'm sure people were wondering a lot of things
that were left unsaid in Masked Moogle's guide, I have hoped to fill in
those blanks.
It seems that every guide I find nowadays are so damn formal, it makes me gag.
This guide was written to be very conversational, and that being said, there
is some cursing in this guide. I'm not changing it. Too f*ckin' bad. Get over
it.
I wrote this guide because I want to help people with the biggest and most fun
part of the game: the Creatures! Hopefully it will help you choose the
Creature that's right for you. And after you've chosen the Creature, my guide
will help you teach it the ways of the gods! Or something like that. If you've
already chosen your Creature you'll want to head to the Strategies section.
With all that aside, thanks for reading my introduction, and enjoy
Schragmeister's Creature guide!

III. Creatures
Finally! Ok here we go, the main part of the guide. Wake up people.
I have personally tested about 90% of the creatures.
They are as followed:
Ape
Brown Bear
Chimp
Cow
Gorilla
Horse
Leopard
Lion
Ogre
Mandrill
Polar Bear
Rhino
Sheep
Tiger
Tortoise
Wolf
Zebra
They are as followed in my opinion, in order of best(again, in my opinion)
Horse
Brown Bear
Lion
Polar Bear
Zebra
Wolf
Cow
Tortoise
Sheep
Chimp
Ape
Rhino
Lepoard
Gorilla
Tiger
Sheep
Ogre
Mandrill
This is just how I prefer them. Heck, your favorite might be the Mandrill.
We're all entitled to our opinion.
This is the layout of how I'll describe them.
A. Reveiw of all Creatures
Name of creature
Strength (damage dealt)
Dexterity (speed and agility in and out of battle)
Intellect (speed at which the Creature learns miracles, skills, ect.)
How to aquire
Dance
Battle proficiancy
Life profiancy (how it does out of battle, in villages, and anything else)
How it looks as
Good, (sparkles included)
Neutral,
Evil (smoke included)
Overall Ideas
My personal opinion of creature in a scale of * to *****
Please note that these experiences are not set in stone. That is, whatever
happened with my testings are not assured to happen with yours. Like, as
you'll find out, my ape didn't sleep very well to start out with. Maybe
yours will have a set bedtime. Anything can happen here.
Also, one last note. You'll see me reference Creatures to either
spellcasters, brawlers, or fighters. Spellcasters use miracles for thier main
form of attack. They probably have a long attacking reach, low damage,
and a fast casting rate. A Brawler usually have a short reach, but high
damage, slow dodging and blocking rates, with very high delay in casting
miracles. A fighter is all around. He will have a short delay on attacks
and castings, probably a fast dodger and blocker, with mediocre damage. Quite
frankly, I don't like the RPG-style branding, either, but it fits, so whatever.
