The Spore creature creator demo is officially going to be released on Tuesday, but there's already a copy online at a few places - I downloaded a copy here - it's about 200 MB, and a fairly slow connection, probably because everyone's trying to get it. There's probably a few torrents of it floating around too...
It's a lot of fun! The demo doesn't include many of the parts the full game's going to have - you're pretty much limited to carnivore mouths and insect mandibles for mouths, but it's pretty impressive how many different creatures you can make quickly... I'll admit I'm skeptical as to whether the full game will be able to live up to the hype, but even if it doesn't, the creature editor's a great little toy to muck about with.

Here's one of my first attempts... Cute little critter, yes?

Sort of a humanoid crocodile type thing, with little fins and four arms.

The bulb on the end of this one's head is a poison spit attack object - I imagine this guy's a swamp dweller who lurks in wait before using the spit attack to paralyse any prey that wanders past...
Meanwhile, someone's created a fairly decent Gungan and put it on YouTube....
