Cell Editor
From SporeWiki, the knowledge base dedicated to Spore
The Cell editor is the tool used to edit your creature in the Cell stage. Like the Creature editor, it has a model of the creature and a choice of parts to add to it -- although the creature is edited in 2D in this stage.

[edit] Editing Your Cell
There are 3 ways to make your cell unique.
[edit] Shape and Size
The cell editor is more restrictive than the creature editor being 2D and your cell is a set 6 vertebrae long. The cell can be fattened and thinned at each vertebrae just like in the creature editor. The vertebrae must be in one line but after that you can make them any shape you want.

[edit] Accessing the editor in the full game
It is possible to access the expanded beta version of the cell editor by copying and pasting the spore icon on your desktop, then right-clicking on one, going to "properties" and editing the target so the end reads -state:celleditor rather than '-locale:en-us'.So it should look like this;"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\SPORE\Sporebin\SporeApp.exe" -state:CellEditor.This gives you access to the cell editor, along with an extra 4 pages worth of parts. Most of these are "improved" variants of the basic parts that are seen in the artwork book that comes with the Galactic Edition. Also notable is one more eye design, called "Long Eye". Exiting the editor will launch Spore as normal.

[edit] Trivia
When you point your mouse over certen spots on the Grey rectangle you will hear the sound of a button when touched by the mouse. These are to be the cell editor and the flora editor. The cell editor has unused parts to put on your cell like Puffish's poison, or Punky & Shyster's mouth.
