Dat Hoo (blame Exmly Bibble for the name) would have been a regular generation 16 Grendel in my wolfling run, but I'm assuming that his mother died while she was pregnant with him, causing him to become genderless. Now, about that. So, I have Clucky's Tombstone Creator in my world, meaning that I can revive dead creatures or have a graveyard of sorts for them. The Tombstone Creator wasn't meant to deal with pregnant creatures dying before they can successfully lay their eggs, so it freaks out and gives the baby a genderless tombstone, because its gender hasn't been decided yet. Dat Hoo's tombstone caught my attention when I was putting tombstones in my little graveyard area, so I revived him so that I could put him up.

Now, about the actual creature. He fast-aged to adult within a minute of being revived and stayed like that, after which I did some tests on him. His info screen simply displays an egg icon where his gender symbol should be, and he screws with the interfaces a lot. Specifically, the panels at the very top left and right of the screen. When you select Dat Hoo, they will both autokill, only to reappear moments later. The creature also has a habit of alternating between the sprites for different genders, as the game is extremely confused on what sprite sets to use because of the fact that he has no gender. I only refer to him as male because he's incapable of becoming pregnant, carrying an artificially induced pregnancy to term, even with progesterone injections, or getting another creature pregnant.

Dat Hoo is capable of kisspopping with both genders, making him a good way to curb your population because of being a way for both genders to satisfy their sex drive without any pregnancies. Also, turn autokill off when you try to import him, because the game will flip out and throw an error when you scroll to him in the creature selection screen. Hit the brutal ignore button until the game stops throwing errors to be able to import Dat Hoo into your game. Since the picture I made doesn't actually include Dat Hoo himself, I'll just tell you that he's completely Jungle Grendel.
