Dexterous physical interactions with virtual creatures are important to bring fun of playing with animals into arts and entertainments. Virtual creatures are required to react in various ways stands on physical and psychological laws according to highly varied user inputs for reality of interaction. We propose to construct virtual creatures with physics simulator, sensor/attention models and physical motion controllers. Physical simulator and motion controllers generate highly varied reactions with physical reality, and sensor/attention models provide psychologically feasible target selection for motion controllers. We constructed an example of the virtual creature, and communicative physical interactions are realized as guessing and attracting virtual creature's attention by touching them via haptic device. With the example we confirmed effectiveness of the proposal experimentally.
