Make the creaking more lethal

Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is damage, which definitively needs to be buffed.

BUT, what could be changed, first of all is make the creaking close its eyes really quickly after you look at him. If you look for a few seconds it should blink and look around for a few seconds to give the player a bit more of a challenge to locate and give the player more of a challenge. 

You could add also more variation of the creaking's visual skin, giving more diversity of shape in the creaking, making every encounter more unique!
