Chieftain
From SporeWiki, the knowledge base dedicated to Spore
The Chieftain is the leader of the tribe in the Tribal stage. It is needed to conduct your tribe when trying to impress other tribes, but isn't required to attack other tribes. Also, it has more hitpoints than normal tribe members. If killed, it is reborn in about one minute at the Tribal Hut. It can also use abilities, which are consequences from your activities from the Cell stage (if played) and Creature stage (if played).
When going to the Tribal stage from the Creature stage, your creature will learn to make fire using a stick, and soon, that stick will turn to a staff, becoming the Chieftain.
The Chieftain cannot use tools, but its staff can be used as a fishing spear, a gathering rod, and a very effective weapon.

[edit] Chieftan Glitch
Sometimes in the Tribal Stage, a spaceship may hover over your tribe and abduct your chieftan. Since he was abducted, he won't be reborn, causing the player to permanently lose his/her chieftain.
