As if SecuROM wasn't bad enough, there is also a MASSIVE SECURITY LEAK in Spore: If you EVER share ANY content with ANYONE, be warned that YOUR COMPUTER USERNAME is ENCRYPTED INTO THE CREATURE "IMAGE" FILE.
Are you lobbing dud grenades again?
I see the username that was used on the spore site registration, which is about as secret and useful as "J. M. Pescado" is.
And encrypted is more correctly labelled compressed, with the same 0x10FB compression as used in The Sims 2 and the compressorizer.
Paranoia is a useful survival trait, but if you don't want to get bombarded with gamma rays, you can't lay out at the beach.

That is not what others are reporting. Also, the username is displayed before there even IS a registration. Given that not all users are registered and no input is solicited, this means your username is still being displayed to the world.

Trial says admin as my user title on my creatures. Never bothered to change it. I suppose if I got an account, then it would say the username I would register with.

What is the preferred method of extracting the creature data from the PNG file so that it can be examined?

There is none, yet.
And there probably won't be any, if EA has their say. EA doesn't seem too keen on modders touching this game:
