class Creature
Represents a reference to a creature in the game world. An instance of this class acts like a weak pointer to an existing creature in the game world and provides an interface to interact with it. Before interacting with the creature, you should call Exists() in order to check if the creature actually (still) exists. IMPORTANT: This class must NOT be stored as a class member. If you want to store the creature for later reference, store the id obtained by GetId instead. You can then later retrieve the creature from the LevelReference class by calling GetCreatureById.
