Here are a few things that come in very handy when dealing with aquatic norns
- underwater incubator
- electric gates (included in Object Pack 1)
- Blueberry cheat

Aquatic Norn Births
Ok, here we go. The underwater incubator comes in very handy for your aquatic norn
births. If it's a gill norn and can't breathe air, then it's already hatched
underwater and won't suffocate. If it's a mernorn, you can easily pick it up and
take it to land. Now if it's a mix of the 2 breeds, it's hard to tell which one
it is sometimes, therefore you don't know if it can breathe water or not. This is
where the Blueberry cheat is very helpful. This cheat has an Instant Vocabulary option,
which is useful anyways, since there's no computers underwater. But it also ages the creature
to the child stage. In the case of a birth where the breed is unknown, I highly advise using this at once.
If it's a gill norn, you don't have a problem anyway, but if it's a mernorn, it can't breathe
underwater until the child life stage. With the Instant Vocabulary option, you educate your
norn and ensure that it won't suffocate, all at the same time.

Beached Norn!
This is a big problem with underwater norns. You know how both of the oceans have those
little springy toys to save land norns if they fall in? Well, water norns can step on those, too.
That's a problem, since gill norns suffocate on land and so do mernorns once in the
adult stage. And you can't pick norns up on land, unless you have the Blueberry cheat,
which allows you to pick up creatures anytime. (this thing is great, huh?). So on the
off chance that a norn does get beached, you can simply pick it up and return it to
water. Or if you want to avoid having your norns grounded at any time, the Blueberry
cheat also allows you to pick up the springy toys that cause the problem in the first
place. Just hold down Shift and left-click on them to pick them and re-locate them,
preferably to inaccessable places.

Norn Families
Now, the problem with breeding water norns is that they are all thrown in there together
and that leads to inbreeding, which is quite nasty. They way to keep 2 closely-related
norns from breeding is to use the Electric Gate COB. I usually put it right on the egde of
the ledge in the light-colored ocean. And I open up the submarine dock thing right below,
so that the norns both on the ledge and under it have plenty of room. To keep related norns from breeding,
put one down below in the submarine dock, and leave one up on the ledge. That simple.
The one on the ledge can't get past the electric gate and the one down below can't swim up.
This works on land, too. Just put the norns you don't want breeding together on opposite sides of
the gate. If you press the big X in the middle of the gate, norns can't get through from any side.

The "Star-Disease"
This seems to be common in aquatic norns, more so than land norns, so watch out all you marine norn lovers.
First of all, the "Star Disease" isn't really a disease. It means your
Norn/Grendel/Ettin is unconcious.
IF your Norn's health meter is at maximum and he/she is unconcious:
-100% defillibrant, which will wake them up.
-100% liquid food several times, or if you have the advanced science kit, inject 100% of several different chemicals such as hunger decrease, starch, protein, etc.
-100% metabolism transplant if nessescary. Being as it is a very painful treatment I usually avoid it. If it is nessescary I also inject pain decrease with it.
IF your Norn is underwater and shouldn't be or vice versa, get them where they belong and:
-Inject defillibrant immeadiately. You may need two doses.
-Metabolism transplant 100%, w/pain decrease
-If the organs are still in danger (check second page in Science Kit), try oxygen and air injections for land Norns.
-A dose of prostagladin will help heal tissue and organ damage.
IF your Norn has passed out for unknown causes:
-Defillibrant 100%
-Metabolism 100%
-Using science kit and observation kit, figure out the cause
I realize some of you might not have activated the Science Kit yet. If you have the
Blueberry Cheat, you can activate the Science Kit, Advanced Science Kit, Neuroscience Kit,
Infinite Scrolling, and Grendel/Ettin Selector all at once by going to Testing on the
menu and selecting Activate Game States. There is also the QuickPower COB
that activates all of those, too.

Norn Insomnia
Are your norns tired all the time, dragging their feet and looking really sad, but
they won't sleep? There's 3 solutions to this problem. You can get the Sleep Update COB
which is included in Object Pack 1. This makes it more rewarding for norns to sleep. The 2nd
solution is the SleepyTime COB, which puts norns to sleep. The 3rd solution is in the
Science Kit (if you don't have it, follow the directions in The Star-Disease to activate it).
Go to Syringe and check the box next to Use Advanced Science Kit. Scroll down until you see
Sleepiness Decrease and Tiredness Decrease. Inject them both. Your norn should perk up
almost immediately (you also might find some other useful injections in there, try looking around).
