Baysee is the third planet the player travels to in Spore Creatures. It is barren and dying, with the landscape dotted with dead trees and plants. It has highlands, where the Spierters live, and the lowlands, where the Arclarts and Cricktors live.

## Environment

Before Gar'skuther's infection, Baysee was a planet of plains and plateaus. It features a highland covered in shallow ponds and fruit trees which is home to the main predators on the planet, Spierters. It also has lowlands where the herbivores live. These lowlands are flat, and feature a long shoreline on one side. A long river winds all the way through the lowlands before ending at the ocean. This area is enclosed by high cliffs, and a bed of winding thorns defends the lone entrance to the highlands.

After the infection, the land is sickly and dying. Everything has been poisoned, including the ground, the plants, and the creatures. Plants wither and die, creatures turn hostile and battle each other, and the bed of thorns becomes a bed of poison.

## Story

Oogie first arrives on Baysee's highlands to find it destroyed by infectiom. The plants are all withered and dying out. Next to the entrance to the lowlands, Oogie meets the Spierters, but they are too frail to move and appear to be starving. Upon entering the lowlands, Oogie witnesses a scene of two rival species, the Arclarts and Cricktors, battling each other. Oogie decides to investigate, traversing through the dangerous poison terrain and approaching species. In the center of the area between the two nests, next to the river, is a lone Speirter which is healthy enough to move, and a field of meatcubes left over from the battle. Most of the meatcubes are infected, and will cause the player to move incredibly slowly for a few seconds.

Both the Arclarts and the Cricktors are extremely hostile and attack the player on sight, but Oogie notices that both species are herbivores. Oogie also notices that both of their nests have been infected, and in order to cure them, they must be conquered. Once both nests are conquered and cured, the land will return to a healthy state, the grass and water will on more natural colors, and the poison terrain will change into **Thorns** instead. To let the Spierters know that things have been made right, the player must take a small meatcube back to their nest. The Spierter will then reveal a dig spot a short distance away, requiring the player to help unearth it. Doing so will reveal a starmap, allowing the player to complete Baysee.

The player may also take part in a few side objectives. These include helping the Spierters gather more food and watering the trees in the highlands, both of which give a Planet Token as a reward. Another is to take a throw rock to the southern part of the map to reach two Sporelings hiding behind bushes, one Arclart and one Cricktor. They are too weak to move and must be returned to their respective nests.

## Trivia

* In the "Return the Missing Sporelings" side goal, returning Sporelings will give different dialogue depending on the state of the nest at the time the Sporeling is returned. If the Sporeling returns the nest to life after being conquered, Oogie will note that "Although there are no adults still alive at the nest," there should be enough food and shelter for the Sporeling to be fine. If Oogie takes the Arclart Sporeling and there are other members of the nest, Oogie says the Sporeling will be "safe here with others of its kind." If Oogie takes the Cricktor Sporeling and there are other members of the nest, Oogie says that the Cricktors "look surprised to see their Sporeling again."
* Before curing Baysee, it is the only area of the game with poison terrain.
* Though the game indicates that the player should investigate both the Cricktors and Arclarts nests before realizing they are both herbivores, the player must only defeat one marked Cricktor to progress the story. Meeting the Arclarts first is not required.
