Not yet; humans haven't quite reached the level of sophistication where they crawl to me begging me to protect them from the jerks. Give 'em a few years.
Also, damn your signature. I actually had to go look under my bed because of it (didn't find anything, but I'm not discounting the possibility).
1. I'm wondering if I should name the person who gave me the idea to put that there.
2. Grues reflexively flee from light, remember. That's why they're gone by the time you enter a usually darkened area with a lantern.
3. I didn't specify under your bed.
(In case anyone's wondering what we're talking about)

A combination of different survival mechanisms combined with the capacity for abstract thinking and long-term memory, I reckon.
See, exactly like I said.
