Welcome to the forum.
Also, solid suggestion. Maneaters are pretty buff critter but in the end, there just a critter really, and for 1 telecrystal to be spend on something that would be killed by borgs/captain with a laser rifle, even having 5 of them almost seems like a bit of a waste.
Tapping them on the head with the help intent for them to enter a docile stance is a pretty good idea, if it means that they go out of this stance if they spot something to eat.
Another possible idea would some form of attack stance, maybe when not in docile mode, if you *point at another player, the maneater would attack that player. This would be handy if you are stunned and the maneater is too busy eating someone else, you could have a bit of control.
Not too sure how the latter could be coded, but the docile mode where the critter doesn't move can be seen in others like George (rub that belly) like actions, so it shouldn't be too hard to implement.
