I would be interested in knowing how often people make sentient beings that use cell mouths as their only mouth when reaching tribal stage.

I've made a creature called the Put recently.

It's normal for a creature/tribal stage thing to have cell mouths, and it works fine. The thing that breaks spore is having no legs. Try it and see, get to the tribal stage with a legless guy. Then do a campfire dance and watch everyone freak out and fly about.

This may not be what you are looking for, but I thought I'd share my experience. I didn't use the cell mouth as the only mouth, but I kept the omnivore mouth from the cell stage.Despite my efforts of varying my cell's diet (and I've tried many times), the game still classified my cell an "herbivore" at the end of my cell run, so my mouth choices if I upgraded were only herbivore mouths. So what I did was keep the omnivore mouth on either side of an herbivore mouth. As long as I have those, my creature gets to stay an omnivore. When I experimented and took it off... herbivore. So I hit "undo" and kept that omnivore mouth. Interestingly, my "special ability" was still the herbivore one (Siren song) despite my label saying "omnivore."And when my creature eats, it eats with one of those omnivore mouths. It sings and bites with the herbivore mouth though. So far, even in the Tribal stage, the tribe members can collect killed animals as food, so the creature still seems to function as an omnivore.

Has anyone made sentient species that use cell mouths?

I recently watched a Youtube video from The Spiffing Brit where he did a full run without ever evolving at all. Still got DNA by "singing" to other creatures and eating generic food, but never added any parts onto his original cell-stage default creature. It just kept getting bigger with every levelup. So yeah, some people keep the original mouth I guess. It didn't seem to cause any problems for this guy, at least not on camera. The lack of any legs was a bigger issue though, he kept getting stuck on certain places on the terrain and some of the cutscenes just went a little bit insane because they were meant for creatures with legs. LOL.

many people have. the challenge is take it to the space stage; and then the captain stage.
create a cell with the most parts to use as a base to create other creatures from at a later date.

Not me but my older brother who used my copy of Spore before me did use cell mouths the whole game! It's not a big deal, just make sure you have other self-defence or social features to cover up your Level 1 Sing/Bite lmao.
