Keep in mind your creature will mimic everything you do, need constant feeding and attention and be just as whiny as most of your people if not more so.

The one good thing about it is if you get bored, as I did, you can bowl your people down with trees and fencing and throw them into the sea where they die for a short period and mysteriously return to their daily jobs after a few minutes. Because your creature will mimic everything you do, it's entertaining to watch it throw farmers to the sea as well.
