The Canny Norn or the Akamai Canny Norn genome was an attempt by Chris Double and Lis Morris to overcome the shortcomings (including OHSS) of the Creatures 2 norn genome by way of genetic engineering to create a new genome. It includes new brain lobes. In this they are similar to the Nova Subterra project. The Akamai Canny Norns are an improved version of the Canny Norns, and as such cannot be interbred with the standard 256 genome or the Nova Subterra genome. Canny Norns have three new lobes, the Echo, Search and Choice Lobes which enable them to:
