Major lag spikes whenever this creature is present.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I modded my game to have some less fierce, but still usable as pets, and after taming them they cause 3-5 second freezes for no reason, I'm going to assume it has something to do with being able to fly, but I have no idea.
I also used to have BONECARN on them, but either that, or CAN_SPEAK made them go insane while being in cages, not sure.

The [PET] tag and [CAN_SPEAK] tag have strange repercussions... I'm not sure why though. But if you remove the [CAN_SPEAK] tag, everything should be fine.

You will have to gen a new world though

Yeah, I fixed that a while ago, and no, that kind of change doesn't need a world gen. :P

The freezes might also have been caused by pet-locked doors, if you had any of those.

I had one behind a forbidden door, that's about it. (breeding and butchery center, haha)
But yeah, I just removed CAN_SPEAK and they worked fine, though I think BONECARN was making them hungry/thirsty as well.

Interesting.  Maybe they were spamming food-related path attempts or something.
