Or, in the first level, if you do the sheep quest, then give the guy four extra sheep, you get to be a sheep.
Those are the only ones that I have found, but I'm sure you can find more information at < http://www.planetblackandwhite.com > .

I need to train my cow to be hell bent on keeping everyone supplied with wood, seeing as that does seem to be the most tiresome aspect of the game.
Then i'll be able to start having more fun..

I hope they bury me upside down, so the whole damn world can kiss my ass
Edit -- oh yeah, does anyone know how to make sure your creature EATS so he doesn't pass out? My cow was at 99\% hunger and i gave him some food and he THREW IT ON THE GROUND

Even if you do it right, the game still sucks. Sure, it's got great graphics and an innovative premise, but the gameplay revolves around nothing but endless micromanagement. Repetitive micromanagement. I'm too bored to continue.

I may be paranoid, but not an Andriod.
I can remove all the wood from the store, come back a couple of minutes later, it'll be full again, hurrah for the cow!

Only half true. What I wasn't bored by I was infuriated at.
After I realized the redundant truth - the horror of ceaseless, mechanical gameplay - I began to loose any and all concern for the empire I had carefully built. A tiresome anger began to fume, and this rancid gas seeped into my brain, where it made root. Soon after, I found myself squashing my followers with boulders merely to hear them squeal, and recklessly casting firestorms around crèches of their children.
"The villagers need food!" they would yell. But I didn't care. That's all they ever yelled. Over and over again. Their insatiable hunger for grain was inhuman, and I would stare - absolutely baffled - at the ludicrous impossibility of three villagers inhaling an 80-ton mound of wheat. The hunger flag would lower, but in seconds, it would rise again. The sheer futility of my efforts turned what was once a chore into a fucking obsession: hours were spent amassing the largest lump of grain the game could tolerate, which I dumped onto the entire village until it was no longer visible. My kingdom was literally a heap of grain. Several peasants were crushed by the weight, but the survivors quickly ate their way out. From the inside I could hear their muffled cries: “mrpf mrllagerss mfneed morff food!” It seemed the more I gave, the more they craved, and so this foul oddity continued.
When not in the throes of uncontrollable giggling, I was driven to tears. And this surreal episode was overdone only by the unskippable nagging of my ‘conscience’. Ah yes, my conscience…a maddening duo of a meek, anal angel and his lousy Jersey imp counterpart. So annoying. So fucking persistent.
“Villages that are empty believe in no one,” my conscience would remind me. True. I could not live without these people. I was doomed to serve them so they could serve me. It seemed there was no end, but the 'end' itself…
One by one, I executed them all. With emotionless precision, like a neglected lovebird miserably plucking out each colorful quill of his beautiful plumage, I eliminated each and every villager. Disrepair…dejection…shivering in a corner from chilly air against irritated skin. Once dressed in beauty, now I remain in shambles, alongside my red, featherless stubble, and an anomalous mound of food. The village is dead, and now I expire from this shitty game.
…so weak now. So tired…and so weak. But the villagers still need food. I can hear them. Always. I must find food…
The game blows, man. The game blows wads.

never more!
I loved the game when I bought it. I played it non-stop for nearly 2 days (with work inbetween both days). Then, I just didn't want to play anymore. The game was cool, but it felt like an obligation to play it just because I had paid so much money for it.
Then, a few days later, I read a negative review of the game.. i think it was a PA post. It came to me that yes... I was bored with the game... probably quicker than most people. It was cool at first, I loved my Tiger, but I was so sick of picking trees.
That's when I felt it was OK to be bored and frustrated with it. I knew that it wasn't just me. Then, I felt liberated again and played hours of Counterstrike.
Actually, I found that my previous post didn't fully capture my experience with B&W. So I rewrote it.

Yeah... and that stuff is "We need wood!!! We need children!!! I'm sick!!! I want to hump sheep!!!"
Blah blah blah. I love my tiger, but that game made it hard for me to spend time with him.
oh and to make him eat stuff rub his tummy a bit then he'll eat it whether he wants it or not
