Weird C1 Glitch just happened now

Couldn't find the right place to post strange Albia world ongoings,so I guess this is the place..

Just experienced a glitch now as I played C1 on my sisters laptop and I never have ever come across this kind before.
I had only one adult female Norn out,Jenna -
and I was about to import a copy of my generation 10 adult male norn,Kunai.
Jenna was around the kitchen area,minding her own business,and I was importing
the copy of Kunai,and so far so good.
I was going to bring him up to where the computer is,
trying to feed him without any disturbance of jenna,but he
had his own idea and went to the portal and went to the garden,
manage to eat a carrot on his own (wich was good.
Then when I teleported him back up to the computer area again,
this is where the strange thing happen:
He approached it,turned his head to it,then....vanished!
Vanished just like when a dead body of a Norn and when the header say's just "Creatures"
instead of the name of current selected norn and that the tool kits are all greyed out.
Can see the screenshot here.

Also,the Norn list shows only Jenna - No greyed out name of Kunai.
And the Peformance kit says there is 2 Norns.
Screeny of that too here.

Fun thing is - I know I had once a Norn "drowning" with the submarine once,
making the selected Norn who goes down with it get stuck in the background
(only chance to save him/her is to export ,if theyre selected-if not,they will be greyed out in
the list. I often refered that one as turning a Norn into a ghost,as you could hear it's step sounds when walking and see toys get pushed etc.

But this one is new to me - I can't understand how this happen,he was just
standing next to the learning computer O_o' I also didn't use any special cob(s) that would have any affect on this - what is shown is what I have,along with the pumpking cob,dragon bridge (both from freya),Apples (growing in grendel tree) and the radish bucket.

Anyhow - I imported another copy of him now and he is with Jenna in that spot,but it seem
I can't replicate that glitch (don't want to,but I wanted to make sure that the area is not glitched up). So far Jenna and (the second copy of) Kunai seem to be doing well,
aside the peformance kit say there is 3 Norns now in the world,counting the
second copy I imported. Screeny here

A sidenote is,this world had only one strange prob: A copy of my sisters long dead grendel won't be disappearing since he died,so no new grendels are spawn. His body is quite well hided behind the tree and dosn't affect much the world itself .
can be seen here.

Still been wondering if there is a way someone could make a cob for bodies that won't disappear on theyre own maybe? Don't want to make a new world- It is allready sad that you have to be forced to have to make new worls when problems like the annoying fatal sickness that is in-curable spread over the world or eggs that crash the game whenever you start up the game,those things are far worse then the stuck grendel body and I can live with it if there is no way to solve it for now. But I am grateful if the poor grendel can finaly get his body buried in peace :D

So anyone else here had any of this weird glitches?

as I was reading, I was thinking 'yeah, that sounds like the submarine glitch'. That's scary that it just happened on its own though...

Back in the day I used to get the C2 glitch where dead bodies would occasionally fly into orbit and circle the world indefinitely at the top of the screen.

... that wasn't just me, right?

I had that a few weeks ago, but it was the first time I'd seen it.

That C2 glitch is pretty common, I get that a lot...
(I got even more strange glitches in c2 versus c1 in general.)

Still don't get why my Norn vanished, yet it leaves the dead grendel body alone when it is That who is supposed to vanish..o.o

It seems like the game mistook your Norn for the dead Grendel and made it disappear instead. Just a theory.

Yeah I wish that was the case but that Grendel's body been stuck forever-since around 2
(real, not ingame ) years back now and I been playing C1 often all time, so he is one long dead Grendel.. Im pretty sure it's not that.I would have suspected this myself if the Grendel body been staying there for a few days ago and this then happen .Wouldn't think the glitch would be so strange if that was the case.

So I guess there exist no cobs for stuck dead bodies of creatures then?

Does "kill hots" not work in C1?

I never developed for it, so I might be wrong, but it's my understanding C1 didn't really have a CAOS console.

Neither does C2, but there are utilities that allow CAOS injection. Creatures Commander should be sufficient. :)
