It has been a while since all of my Gobwolves acquired their skills, but they have yet to level up. Perhaps they need something to practice against, such as a dummy or another monster. However, I am hesitant to instruct them to train against each other, as I don't want them to harm or kill each other.
Instead, I give them the command, "Make a Dummy to train and level your skills against." They leave the cave and return with sticks and rocks. They construct dummies by placing stronger sticks upright and surrounding them with weaker sticks. Rocks are used to stabilize the structure. They create a dummy for each of them.
The Gobwolves begin swinging at the dummies aimlessly, although it wouldn't have mattered where they hit since the dummies are essentially pillars of sticks. It is clear that they have much to learn in terms of accuracy and technique.
Meanwhile, I notice that my mana is once again full, so I decide to create another Gobwolf (G4), this time a female. She looks similar to the males but with a slimmer physique. It wasn't too challenging to create a female Gobwolf, as the males and females share many similarities.
I designate her to be separated from the males, placing her in a different room to the left of the males' room if you are looking from the entrance of the cave. Surprisingly, the males don't seem to notice or mind when the female passes through their room to reach the designated area.

It appears that the female Gobwolf's stats are similar to the males, except her intellect is slightly higher. However, I forgot to instruct her to make herself a weapon initially.
She leaves her room, exits the cave, and returns after some time with sticks and rocks. After several failed attempts, she manages to create a spear. Although it looks fragile and prone to breaking, it surprisingly holds up as she thrusts it into the air, testing its durability.
While I personally think the spear would be better suited as a javelin, I decide not to intervene. Instead, I command her to "Train in using your spear." She begins practicing with it, and eventually, she acquires the corresponding skill after some time like I had expected.

After the female Gobwolf has acquired her first skill, I instruct her to "Make a Dummy to train against." She gathers the necessary materials and diligently constructs the dummy, going back and forth until it is completed.
While observing her, I realize the need for a dedicated builder or craftsman among the Gobwolves. With my mana at full capacity, I create another Gobwolf, but this time I design its hands to be more precise, resembling human hands to some extent. Although it doesn't turn out exactly as planned, it should still be suitable for the task at hand.
I assign this Gobwolf the role of the designated builder and command it to "Begin building and learn the art of construction." It immediately sets off outside, retrieving large logs and bringing them back into the cave. It repeats this process multiple times until satisfied and begins constructing what appears to be a table. It then goes outside once more.
When it returns, it carries sharp stones and sticks, and with them, it creates a rudimentary axe. Although the axe is poorly made, it serves its purpose, and the Gobwolf starts cutting wood within the cave. It impales four sticks into the ground, placing sticks on top of them, resulting in a table with numerous holes but still functional.
The Gobwolf proceeds to make several more tables, and with each attempt, the quality improves, leading to fewer holes. However, it still uses raw sticks instead of transforming them into planks or more refined materials but I let him learn on his own.

Wow, it seems the Gobwolf's table crafting skills still need improvement. Despite that, it appears to be aware of its skill progression in table crafting and proceeds to construct one more table. This new table appears slightly more stable than the previous ones.
Filled with pride, the Gobwolf admires its work, even attempting to climb onto the table. Unfortunately, when it places a foot on the table, it breaks under its weight. The Gobwolf becomes disappointed by this outcome but quickly shifts its focus to building something else.
Gathering sticks and stones, it constructs a series of dummies, one after another. Through this process, the Gobwolf gains further skill in crafting.

As I observe the Gobwolf's training with the dummies, it seems that there hasn't been much progress yet. However, I remain hopeful that with enough time and practice, they will improve their combat skills. Meanwhile, I notice that my mana has fully replenished, giving me the opportunity to create another minion.
