Best Norns

I rated my Norns according to these qualities:

• Best Genes
  Increased number of genes, lower pigmentation (or higher), and any beneficial mutations that I can determine are factors towards best genes. I have not edited their genes unless I was breeding for color; then I used the Genetics Preview kit with the information on Slink's Burrow Online (see my links section).
• Best Looks
  I like the Norns with floppy ears and white hair the best; I do not like Purple Mnt. heads or blonde haired "horse" Norns. Since I can't (or haven't) bred out these specifics, I don't use full Purple Mountain Norns (except Aaron because I was running out of PMN traits). And I don't use the "horse" Norns. Balds are cute and they add variety. I favor fluffy tails, too.
• Best Eaters
  Most of my Norns here all eat with a little prompting now and then, especially during a pregnancy. In generations H - L (8 - 12), I can let them all roam about on their own with some of my favorite food cobs (ex: roaches and the fridge) and they'll eat except when being very social. Then it's best to separate them and let them eat and sleep. In generations M - N (13 - 14) and up in this back, I was trying to breed in certain looks, and lost some of the quality (increased total genes), and also some of the eating skills. This does correlate genes and eating as causal.
• Best At Breeding
  I haven't had any problems with fertility with these Norns. They become fertile between 1:15 and 1:45, which I think is normal. Some females have bred earlier.

Fye (f)

The first of my Norns with 273 total genes and 43 chemical receptors. Also tawny coloring.

Gretchen (f)

The first of my females to have 11 pigmentation *and* 43 chemical receptors. 272 total genes.

Harvey (m)

A bad eater (from a line of bad eaters, but this trait can be bred out) but has 8 pigmentation. Orangish with 265 total genes.

Hella (f)

Mothered many of my current family. She has 273 total genes and 43 chemical receptors.

Hessa (f)

11 pigmentation *and* 43 chemical receptors. 272 total genes. I haven't bred her.

Hee (f)

Harvey's sister, and also has 8 pigmentation. Probably an unstable eater. 268 total genes.

Honey (f)

11 pigmentation *and* 43 chemical receptors. 272 total genes.

Illy (f)

11 pigmentation *and* 43 chemical receptors. 272 total genes.

Inky (f)

11 pigmentation *and* 43 chemical receptors. 272 total genes.

Ila (f)

11 pigmentation *and* 43 chemical receptors. 272 total genes.

Itchy (m)

White haired, floppy eared, long tailed Norn with green wrist bands. 270 total genes.

Iskie (f)

First of my Norns with 274 total genes and 44 chemical receptors. Purple Mnt. legs.

Jack (m)

A male with 11 pigmentation, in case you were looking for one.

Jill (f)

Jack's sister, and both were fathered by Istanbul. They haven't added much to my gene pool, but they are a good variety. 43 chemical receptors *and* 11 pigmentation. 272 total genes.

Jess (f)

A bald, fluffy tailed Norn with Purple Mnt. arms. A good combination! 273 total genes.

Jynxie (f)

My second with 274 total genes and 44 chemical receptors. Mothered 5 good Norns.

Joot (m)

A star of my collection, he bosts 271 genes and 42 chemical receptors. He's a cutie white haired floppy eared Norn with Purple Mnt. legs, a long tail, and green wrists.

Kat (f)

274 total genes with 44 chemical receptors.

Kara (f)

43 chemical receptors and *10* pigmentation. She's got a lovely fluffy tail and she bred at about 1:05 old.

Kasper (m)

Another success! "Perfect" males are hard to come by. 271 total genes.

Kupe (f)

My first with 44 chemical receptors *and* 11 pigmentation. She also is a good breeder, in theory. She bred at 1 hour, layed sooner than normal, and recovered more quickly than any of my other Norns.

Kristof (m)

I overlooked him because he only has 270 total genes. However, he's got 42 receptors (the highest in my males at that time) and 11 pigmentation!

Log (m)

Purple Mnt. legs, 271 total genes, and 42 receptors.

Lemon (f)

Purple Mnt. arms, 44 receptors, 11 pigmentation and 273 total genes.

Lothar (m)

Uniform orange/auburn with a fluffy tail, white hair, and floppy ears. 268 total genes.

Minky (m)

A fluffy tailed Norn with 10 pigmentation. 268 total genes.

Milly (f)

A fluffy tailed, auburn bodied Norn with lovely matched tawny arms and legs. 11 pigmentation, 43 chemical receptors, 272 total genes.

Misky (f)

A Norn with an auburn body, fluffy tail, and matched Purple Mnt. arms and legs. 272 total genes.

Nee (f) - A remarkable Norn, daughter of Minky and Tootie. Purple Mnt. traits with tawyny legs. 49 chemical receptors (from Tootie who had 48 and incidentally has Grendel genes), 61 chemical reactors (Tootie had 60, Minky had 60 but carried the gene that increased it in females due to their reproductive systems), only 14 instincts (like Tootie), and 9 pigmentation (Tootie had 8).

Odities

He may not like to walk, and won't for a while unless he sees something really interesting. Not a good eater, but he has 9 pigmentation.

Istanbul (m)

His file must have gotten corrupted in a Creatures crash, and he might crash your game if you import him. But it sez in my game that he has 1166 Neurons, 11 lobi, and 5830-8162 dendrites. Thes have not shown up in any of his 3 children, but I may breed them back to him and with mother, Misty - an internet Norn (forgot where from, sorry.)

Tootie (f)

Tootie is strange. Her parents were Aaron, the male original Purple Mountain Norn, and Yahtz, a colored Norn from the Age of Albia (see my links section). She has Grendel genes in her, which give her 8 pigmentation. Tootie has 48 chemical receptors, 26 chemical emitters, 60 chemical reactors, but only 14 instincts. 272 total genes. Since she is not totally "natural" (Grendels and Norns can't breed normally), I'm not going to use her as a main breeder, but I know her ilk will become part of my Norn's bloodline.

AlphaFem (f)

She's one of the survivors from a feral run of 10 hours and is probably severely inbred with Istanbul - he's a lecherous old Norn now. You might get an error message with her, however, so unless you are absolutely prepared for a crash, don't import her. She is cute, tho no outstanding genes, and is at least 11th generation.
