02 - gene type: creature
02 - gene subtype: appearance
## - gene subtype number
00 - unknown
00 - switch on: embryo
sm - sex-dependence/mutability
80 - mutation rate (C2 only)
bb - body location
st - sprite type
00 - unknown (C2 only)

Notes

01 - sex dependence/mutability

No sex dependence. Mutable except for the Tail gene (00). See the Header page for a complete discussion of this byte.

bb - body location

• 00 - head
• 01 - body (and tail C1 only)
• 02 - legs (left thigh, left calf, left foot, right thigh, right calf, right foot)
• 03 - arms (left bicep, left hand and forearm, right bicep, right hand and forearm)
• 04 - tail (C2 only)

st - sprite type

In C1, there are seven sets of sprites that can be combined to create the Norn:

• 00 - bald/long ears
• 01 - white tail/pointed ears
• 02 - full mane/horn buds
• 03 - Santa
• 04 - purple mountain
• 05 - forest
• 06 - ron

C2 uses those seven for converted C1 norns, and adds three additional sets:

• 07 -
• 08 -
• 09 -

Example(s)

This gene sequence sets the 'body' type of a C1 Norn to 'purple mountain.'
