Corrected entry: This is something that occured to me: It seems that when the Creeper loses a body part, it can only be replaced, but not grown back. Instead of the farmer putting the pieces back together, so he'll be ready to stop the Creeper when it returns 23 years later, why not cut the Creeper's body into pieces and then keep them seperate, and therefore prevent its return? This seems like a much safer idea to me.

Correction: Taggart wants the Creeper to return in one full piece so he can fight it again to revenge his son's death; or he wants people to come see it to believe the stories about the Creeper. Either way, it's plausible.
