Heh.  You're most welcome.    It's funny that I originally learned about asymmetry from someone who posted a guide here on Gaming Steve - Thanren - though I don't know if this players goes by the same name here.

I'm now trying to figure out how to do asymmetric hands, feet, and limbs.  GrandPeep apparently got it to work with this creature:

There's a hidden singular limb for the eye we see on the left.  If you take away the limb supporting the eye we see on the right, you'll find it.

Actually, I'm Thanren.  There was a bit of a mixup with my registration under my normal moniker (EA refusing to send my the account confirmation email), so I couldn't use that account. 

EDIT: Wow, his(?) Fiddler Crabathian is well done... http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ast-500006013271%3Asast-500006013271

Updated with animated guide.  Hopefully this will clear things up.

I beginning to not like this topic. Did they seriously leave in the script to the Galactic Campaign?

They know what they did.

The game is very simplified. Physics don't seem to play any role.
There is no weight, no collisions, no calculations, no resistances, (no physics at all)

Size has some influence on jumping... or at least, my creatures with 5 trial version wings jump to different heights...

Stats should not stack from the same item. That is wrong.
size and a weight factor should be implemented.

Do I need to say "Hear hear!" again? 
Everything in the above post is what I should have said in my first post, as all his words are already in my mind too.
Things like this shouldn't be too hard to implement, and would drastically increase the fun of the game.
Yes, I'd like to see a large fox easily beat a small mole with the same "stats", but see a large group of moles beat that one large fox.
I'd like to see a whopping great bulky bear headbutt a mouse with the same charge "stat" and see the mouse come off much worse!
I'd like to see a gorilla thump a creature and do more damage than a chipmunk with the same paws and attack "stat".
The way it is at the moment, just.........isn't right!

I disagree.  Having an invisible size/weight stat will be annoying, and give an unfair advantage to people overcommited to system mastery.  Creature stats should be transparent - no unseen modifers.

If there is asymmetry, it isn't in the trial version.

It is. I discovered it once by accident, but couldn't reproduce it afterwards. I figured it was probably a bug - I think it had something to do with the arranging of arms.

Take a look at the first post.  It explains everything.

First things first, put an arm directly on top of your creature.  It should be in the exact center, a single arm.

Next, split it at the elbow, so you have a T shape on the top.

Any tips on how to do either of those things?

I'm able to occasionally get a single LEG to appear, but never an arm.  You always get the V-shaped joint stuck to the edge of the body.

I don't know how to split them either.

Adjust the camera so you have a better angle.  If you're facing the creature head-on, put the joint onto the top.  That gives a V shape to the bottom part.  Then grab the elbow joint and move it to the middle of the screen.  It should suddenly switch from having two joints side-by-side to a single branching Y or T joint.  Move the wrist joints a little so it's more like a T than a Y.  The point of this is to expose the elbow joint while you have a part on it.

Grabbing onto the merged elbow joint lets you pull it apart by moving it left or right.

Yeah, I've been getting this for a while.  After making a couple of creatures, I upload one and restart the game, and everything's peachy keen.  If I don't quit before it gets too bad I eventually have to reset my computer to get the game to work (invisible menus are fail.)
