| AnimalBeginEating Method |
Method used to command your creature to start eating another creature. You can only eat one target creature per round, and a single call to BeginEating will only attack a target creature in the upcoming tick. Calling BeginEating multiple times in the same turn will only result in your creature eating the target specified in the last call to BeginEating.
Eating is asynchronous so you'll need to handle the EatCompleted event in order to get the status of the bite. A single bite might not produce enough energy for your creature so you'll have to make multiple bites against the same target until it is completed eaten.
