"Keeping your Norn happy & content"

This part of the Island supplies you with all the high quality COBs a Hand could want. You can also view our COB tutorials.
image Albian Carrot Beetle
This little beastie will scuttle around, looking for carrots to eat. Don't let him near the garden! One of the most famous COBs ever, your Norn take great pleasure in drop-kicking the beetles(if they can catch them!)
by Cyberlife
image Ant Farm
Your Norn will love watching the little ants scamper around inside their new Ant Farm!
by the Grey Knight
image Blackboard
Now your Norn are free to express themselves with this wonderful blackboard. Watch as they chalk up deep philosophical remarks like "grendels smell"!
by Alastair Maggs
image Bubble Wand v2
This Bubble Wand releases many bubbles when clicked or pushed. Norn love popping the bubbles but are often frightened when they burst!
by the Grey Knight
image Cheese Plant
Are you in need of more cheese, but don't like the look of the various cheese vendors available? This Swiss Cheese Plant provides a natural alternative that feeds your Norn just like a herb! It also dispenses ordinary pieces of cheese when clicked.

image Cloud Butterfly
This COB injects 5 caterpillars into the garden. They crawl around quite happily until they turn into chrysali, and become full-grown Cloud Butterflies. The butterflies flit about near herbs, pollinating them. Some Norn take great pleasure in squishing the caterpillars though, so watch out!
by Cyberlife
image Coconut Milk
This cob will place a coconut and an empty glass on the kitchen table. To refill the glass, place it on the table again and click the coconut.
by Freya
image Donut Vendor
When clicked, this attractive machine dispenses a delicious donut; perfect for the Norn with a sweet tooth.
by SteerPike
image Energy Infusion
This COB doesn't add any objects to your world; instead, it injects the current Norn with a series of chemicals which should make it happier, less hungry, and less tired; it also provides nutrition. The Energy Infusion was originally developed to deal with an autistic Norn called "Derek", who wouldn't, or rather couldn't, eat.

image Grasshopper
This Grasshopper sits happily in your world, munching away. It occaisonly performs a jump to take it to a new area; it also jumps when clicked, or pushed by a Norn. Norn find it very amusing, and will play happily with it for ages.
by the Grey Knight
image Grendel Doll
The softer side of the Grendels! This toy is based on LummoxJR's Norn Doll, and does basically the same things; it cheers them up a bit, and also reminds them to eat by stimulating their brains.
by the Grey Knight
image Grendel Head
This is a really sadistic COB. A disembodied Grendel Head for your Norn to play ball with. Hee hee hee!
by the Grey Knight
image Grendel Selector
This COB doesn't add any objects to your world; instead, it simply selects the Grendel as your current creature. With this COB, you can train and export Grendels! If you get any interesting ones, I might even put them up on the Island for other users to download.

image Tickets for the Hand
These COBs don't add any objects, but shift the camera to a useful location in your world; very handy if you've used up all your Favourite Locations!
by Slink
image Name
This herb box is very handy for Norn on the go! It is a portable vendor that gives out gentian, feverfew, carrots and morning glory. When a herb in the box is clicked, that herb is the one released. When the box is pushed however, one is chosen at random. The box also stimulates a neurone in the brain of the Norn that pushed it, so that it notices the new herb released.
by LummoxJR
image Hootch Shelf & Kitchen Table
This alters the hootch shelf by the still and the table in the kitchen so that you can put things on them. Very handy; I always keep a few pieces of cheese on my table.
by Unknown COBbler
image Norn Doll
This cute little doll makes an ideal companion for young Norn. Norn sometimes kiss the doll affectionately. She also says "Mammy" in a Norn voice when clicked or pushed; it cheers them up a bit, and also reminds them to eat by stimulating their brains.
by LummoxJR
image Oven Upgrade
This is actually two COBs, which upgrade the oven in the kitchen.
  The first part is a fireplace which keeps your Norn cosy by decreasing Coldness; notice that it doesn't increase Hotness! It also adds a little coalbox between the oven and the table - clicking this will restore the fire when it burns out.
  The second part is the oven itself; this upgrade makes it dispense food when clicked. There are five different types of food available, all of them yummy! There is also a third COB in this mini-pack which alters the oven so that you can place things inside or on top of it.
by Freya
image Playpen
This is another fantastic COB from LummoxJR, which allows you to place baby Norn or Grendels inside it while you look after the rest of the population; you can also use it to isolate sick Norn. You can even put toys and food in the playpen to give them something to play with! This is invaluable for Hands who don't have the time to keep checking up on their babies.
by LummoxJR
image Pretzel Vendor
Another attractive vendor from SteerPike;this one dispenses yummy pretzels! Mmm...
by SteerPike
image Saxophone
This is a wonderful collaborative music COB that will cheer up all the Norn who listen to it. If the Norn playing the Saxophone is very unhappy, it will tell you that it's "got the blues".
by SteerPike & LummoxJR
image Scarlet Butterfly
Modelled on Cyberlife's Cloud Butterfly COB, this adds 5 caterpillars to the garden. They crawl around quite happily until they turn into chrysali, and become full-grown butterflies, which flit about near herbs, pollinating them.
by Freya
image Shee Seed Launcher
This COB places a seed launcher above the temple in the swamp; when clicked, it fires out five Beelocanth seeds, which you can pick up and move around. The seeds only germinate in soil; you can't leave them on rooftops, for example. The Beelocanth themselves are attractive flowers which your Norn will enjoy; they even provide food! You've probably noticed that I've used Beelocanth to decorate my site.
by Cyberlife
image Smashing Jugs
These are good fun; just pick them up, and drop for a really good smash!
by Cyberlife
image Soap Bubble v2
This is a modification I made of Slink's Soap Bubble COB. It starts off in the garden, and acts as a vechile. The buttons make it go up or down, while prevailing winds control sideways movement.
by the Grey Knight
image Strained Carrots
This food COB is very useful for teaching stubborn babies to eat. If your Norn doesn't respond to this, chances are it has an autism mutation.
by Slink
image Toy Hand
This toy will be very popular with your Norn; they finally get the opportunity to "push hand"!
by SteerPike
image Twinkie Vendor
My favourite SteerPike vendor, this one dispenses twinkies. Makes me hungry just looking at them...
by SteerPike
image Weedhider
This is pretty handy. It makes all the weeds (not herbs) in your world invisible to Norn. That should make them keep their paws to themselves!
