Hmm, friendly means it could be the ruler of a civilization that your civ is friendly with, and it just happened to show up(I had a game where this happened on 2-3 separate occasions), and the reason it's destroying your doors is thanks to the behavior of the BUILDINGDESTROYER tag, if you go into the raws and remove that tag from the dragons, he won't do it anymore. :)

It's there until it dies, since it came as a mega-beast, but is friendly.
Good(or bad) news is, the dragon/ruler WILL fight with any enemy civs, and will also run towards any screen-moving announcement you get(HFS, sieges, ambushes, traders, etc.)

I don't think it will become hungry or thirsty, as long as it isn't in your civ, but don't quote me on that, my experiences really did a number on my brain, every single megabeast that showed up was a ruler!
But yeah, I would remove the tag, and if it starts getting hungry or thirsty and you want to keep it, you can add NOTHIRST and all that jazz.

You can just remove the brackets around it, which should deactivate the tag.

A siege would be bad.

!!Goblins!! might turn into !!Fortress!!

Also, there's no telling what hell that dragon's fire might wreak.

Uh, I'm pretty sure that you can't get sieges while you have a megabeast on hand, but don't quote me on that.
I know I got sieges while I had friendly megabeasts though... maybe since they're friendly the game calls off the whole megabeast thing?

Read the wiki, "building destroyer" (or "buildingdestroyer)".  Find enlightenment.
