how to foster a species, raise it in your name, and use it to do your bidding in three easy steps!
step one:
You must somehow obtain the entirety of a species. Whether this is done by cooking them up from scratch, or finding a couple in danger of becoming extinct, or using some form of mass mind control is entirely up to you. Each method has its pros and cons. Making your own species is exceedingly difficult and time consuming. (See Skrendihourer’s How to create creatures: a step-by-step guide to making creatures simple as a single-celled organism to creatures as complex as a polyendophirminatorasaur.) However, the species is completely customizable and loyal (if you make it correctly). Saving a preexisting endangered species is a bit easier, and if you save the right kind, they will be fairly loyal to you, or at least appreciative. However if you do not find the right kind, you may have a problem on your hands. If you choose the third option, you must have a superior skill in mind control and be ready to realize that you are the bane of the existence of an entire species. However, you will not have to wait for them to reproduce enough to form a formidable army.
step two:
Once you are fully committed to raising an entire species, you must triple check that you are fully committed. Think of it as if you were going to have upwards of a hundred infants that never grow up. It’s slightly different from that, but only slightly. You must be prepared to settle disputes between individuals. Whether you like it or not, you are the new government (For a complete guide on governing a species, see Skrendihourer’s guide to governing a species). If you want to retain control over your species, you must develop a system where they are happy, or at least extremely afraid. They deserve certain rights, but you need to remain as the absolute ruler.
step three:
If the creatures seem willing to follow your every command to please you, feel free to use them to do your bidding. Be wary of work that endangers the creatures beyond reasonable measure, work that is too tedious for their intelligence, and other work that may change the (hopefully) charming disposition of your species as a whole.
