Encounters with hostile beings are handled in the same way. A creature will never attack you without good reason; they never do it out of pure gameplay necessity. We want every encounter to feel like a bit of storytelling is happening. To get this working properly, almost every single creature has unique AI.

Sounds rather intriguing to me and I'm having a bit of sandboxy vibe regarding exploration. Also, I'm curious what will happen if you try to gather two different monsters types together? Will they ignore each other as well? Will they fight? Will any of the monsters attack you upon physical contact? It is possible to block him and his patch using physical objects?

Maybe, but it also probably means that you are going to be deliberately antagonizing monsters as part of the story. There are also probably "head hunters" about because I doubt the crew would volunteer to have their brains chopped out.
