It helps you digest raw meat silly human.

I need it for when I'm out late at night hunting for dear and joggers. And no I don't use a rifle, you humans need to learn how to use your sharp teeth! And stop wasting electricity on stoves you newbs! Just eat the bloody meat after your kill, it tastes better that way!

Shesh all this talk about global warming and you human still cook your food. And who is this god? What does he taste like?
