There are quite a few body parts to collect, and it’s possible to alter the appearance of the Sporeite at almost any given moment, but it’s actually quite restricting. Players must choose from set default body types, so there is no option to change its shape manually. From here, they can put on arms, legs, eyes, and other parts which will add abilities.
