During a Pathfinder/3.5 game I was dming, one of my friends charmed a Chaos Beast and put it in a room in their portable base/enveloping pit. The ingenuity impressed me and it worked, but how do I keep it from getting ridiculous?

Some other details about the party:

They're 7th level, evil, and they want to form a cult centered around the worship of a Tibbit Psion that's in the party. They want to make a more permanent base in the catacombs under a bustling trade city. The mayor and city watch like them because they recently took care of a major threat. They have about 7 insane first level rogues and 8 insane third level warriors naked and tied up in the pit. Their absences will not be noticed.

You can kill anyone without access to 4th level cleric or paladin spells and can't make a DC 15 fortitude save. You can't really put it in a pit, though. You need a dominate monster for that to work.

Yes, the rules allowed it.

They only need to make saves if they touch the creature. And I'm more worried about it being used to kill everything.

If you ask me, making a chaos beast like you will probably lead to it trying even harder to turn you into another chaos beast, so you can be chaos beast friends. This is a horrific creature of chaos with an alien mind that cant speak or understand language. If it finds itself liking someone, it will likely want to make them more suitable as a friend, by turning said friend into another chaos beast. That's just my take on it though.

Note that this creature cannot be communicated with, even by means of a tongues spell, or many kinds of telepathy, due to it's complete lack of languages.

That makes complete sense and I now agree, but taking away their victory isn't fair.

What can someone do with a chaos beast? The Psion has a decent craft (alchemy) score. Could its body (or pieces of it) be worth anything on the black market? Would it make sense for a chunk of one to temporarily enhance (extend, perhaps) a spell in the polymorph line?
