Zencrie is the final planet in the story of Spore Creatures. It is both cold and sickly, due to Gar'skuther's infection.

## Environment

Zencrie's environment has been rotted and warped by Gar'skuther's infection. It is mountanious, filled with running rivers and oceans surrounded by high cliffs. The water has been made murky by the infection. Some parts of Zencrie have unusual purple foliage, where the rotting soil doesn't have enough nutrients to support other life. Other parts are snowy and cold. Most of the life on the planet has been ravaged by the infection, and all of the creatures still living on the planet are infected as well.

## Story

Oogie arrives on Zencrie, ready to search for Gar'skuther. Immediately, the player witnesses a scene in which a Broogus waters a tree with a water flower to grow some bananas, but a pair of Starspecks approaches to steal them. The player can interact with the Broogus and Starspeck, who will each ask for help. The Broogus will ask the player to defeat a Starspeck which has been stealing their food. The Starspeck will ask the player to locate and befriend a lost food gatherer. In either case, the Starspeck can be found on a peninsula to the east. If the player befriends the Starspeck, they will be surrounded by three angry Brooguses who will attack them. If the player kills the Starspeck, three angry Starspecks will appear instead. The player can then return to the creature the player decided to help, who will reward the player with a Planet Token.

The player can also help both the Broogus and Starspeck nests. The Brooguses are starving, and need to each be fed a banana to return them to health. The player has 60 seconds to do so, with the timer refilling after the first Broogus has been fed. The Starspecks have three missing Sporelings which are hidden in dig spots around the Broogus nest. Two of the dig spots can only be seen with high **Sight**. Both of these quests can be completed no matter which path the player took in the lone Starspeck quest.

In the north of Zencrie is a passageway blocked by a pair of Koth. The Koth is suspicious of Oogie, until Oogie becomes familiar with the area by visiting three landmarks: a waterfall next to the Broogus nest, a circle of mushrooms, and a pool with water flowers by the peninsula. The Koth still does not trust Oogie, but grants access to throw rocks which can be used to open an entrance to a cave in the north west. Inside the cave is the Koth's nest, which is infected. The nest must be cured to gain the Koth's trust. Once this is done, the Koth will allow passage. In the passageway, the player will have to face two battles, each of which has two of the creatures the player angered in the lone Starspeck quest. At the end of the path, a member of the species the player helped will open the way to Gar'skuther's lair. If the player did not do the lone Starspeck quest at all, the foes will be Brooguses and a Starspeck will open the way.

Upon entering Gar'skuther's lair and approaching the starmap, Gar'skuther will appear in his ship and abduct it. He will express amusement about Oogie's exploits and reveal the Skuther, a powerful creature created from the data of all the creatures Gar'skuther has experimented on. Upon defeating the Skuther, Gar'skuther will note that it doesn't matter since the galaxy is now full of them. Gar'skuther, wanting to prove his superiority, will beam down from his ship to challenge Oogie. He can be defeated through either combat or dancing, with either resulting in Gar'skuther's suit exploding. A scene will show Gar'skuther's infection disappearing across the galaxy, with cured Meepers defeating weakened Skuthers. The player will be able to collect Gar'skuther's arms before departing in his ship back to Tapti to see a now-cured Little Oogie.

## Trivia

* If the player has both the "Defeat the Starspeck Thief" and the "Befriend the Lost Starspeck" goals, completing one will cause the other to simply vanish instead of being failed.
* If the player sees all three landmarks before meeting the Koth, Oogie will note that the Koth is covered in scars and has likely battled Gar'skuther before.
