** The first Norn created was named Ron (after a producer he was being demonstrated to), but his mate was named Eve. Their child, the first Norn ever naturally hatched, was named Cain.
** In the [=PlayStation=] and GBA games, the starting couple will be named Adam and... Berta, to keep up the alphabetical theme.

** In Docking Station, an agent that automatically names Norns when they hatch picks names based on generation: Generation 1 is A, Generation 2 is B, and so on. There are so few Q, X, and Z names that repeats are common within their generations, the original agent names only Norns and not other Creatures (the Steam update changes this), and at generation 27 onwards the autonamer starts picking random names of any letter.

* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Many Norns have realistic fur colors in different shades of brown, red, and white, but others have bright colors and patterns like green, purple, blue, blue with stars, black-and-red diamonds, and so on.

(Unless you happen to have any exported Norns you can bring in.)
** ''Creatures 2'' has a similar premise but allows the player to replenish the hatchery infinitely, though the manual discourages the player from relying on this. Additionally, it's only on Albia that Norns have gone nearly extinct (again), as more exist off-screen on spaceships.
** In the Docking Station storyline, the Lone Shee rescued the last Magma Norn, after all the others either starved to death in the Albian volcano or were killed by Grendels. A later chapter shows multiple Magma Norns, suggesting the Lone Shee was able to rebuild their population.

Added DiffLines:
** In ''Creatures 3'' and ''Creatures Docking Station'', part of the wallbonking stimulus went unused, preventing creatures from feeling pain and fear or being injured when they walked into something. Players experimented with reenabling it to see if this would discourage them from running into walls — and creatures promptly began wallbonking themselves to death. Turns out that even though they instinctively retreat from things that scare them, they can't perceive walls at all and instead try to flee from other nearby objects/creatures, repeatedly hitting that same wall in the process.
