When I first learned about this ball, a person I trust told me it was a solid/pearl combo. Later, when people were posting about their experiences with it, I mentioned that it was a pearl/solid combo and many all but jumped down my throat that it was only "pearlized color", not actually a pearlized coverstock.
Ok, now, after using this ball and having used many, many Super-Flex solids, pearls and half solid/pearl combinations with many different cores, my personal opinion is that this is a solid/pearl combo. Having used it on several oil patterns, several lane surfaces and with several different ocverstock changes from dull (600 grit to 4000 grit) to polished (with several different unlying grit levels), I have no fear in saying no matter what, this ball is for intents and purposes a solid/pearl combo.
Among other situations, in its polished state, it skids too far and handles far too little carrydown to be a true solid SuperFlex. Its behavior in 3000 grit and 4000 grit matte finish does not behave anything like Super-Flex solid. If it is a non-Super-Flex BASF coverstock, which is entirely possible, given its behavior, then that is another story altogether.
Also given the BTM review of the Creature and the Creature Pearl, I was more than surprised by the extremely narrow gap between them, if the Creature was truly an all solid Super-Flex coverstock, no matter how mild the core was.
