The Naven was, in theory, a new species for Creatures, like Norns but "way smarter and they have a lot more fur". Leaked news of this supposed Creature - which was meant to have been retrieved by "hacking into Cyberlife's site" first appeared on alt.games.creatures by way of a post by NitGold. Unfortunately for the poster, the idea was completely false, as explained at length by LummoxJR on The Norn Underground's Gem Treasury: And, as Toby Simpson said in a response to a response to the post: There used to be regular Naven BBQs in alt.games.creatures.
