KnyteTrypper has been a member of the Creatures Community since August 2003, but only became an active member of the community in July 2005. Docking Station was his first Creatures game, but he now owns and enjoys Creatures 1, Creatures 2 and Creatures 3 as well. He's active at the Gameware and A2K forums, and is webmaster of KnyteTrypper's C3/DS Nexus.

KnyteTrypper is a unique member of the creatures community. Disabled and middle-aged, he comes to the creatures community by way of the realm of artificial intelligence, rather than the gaming or virtual pet communities. He's a well-known chatbot developer, and websites such as his A.I. Nexus and The Chatterbot Collection are referenced almost anywhere on the world wide web where information about AIML and chatbots is presented. He is also a genetic breed designer whose credits include several breeds for C3/DS such as the Hunter Norns, Onyx Chichi Norns, Natatory Grendels, Namoran Ettins and Angry Ettins. In addition to his artificial intelligence and artificial life interests, KnyteTrypper is also interested in the development of avatars using both MS Agent and Haptek technology.

Richard Gray, a.k.a. Knyte Trypper, passed away Saturday evening, November 25, 2006 at home, in his sleep. Born on July 10, 1950, he was just 56 years old and lived in Sheffield, Alabama. A friend to many, he will be missed by us all.
