While I might, with serious reservations, swallow Xykon's suspiciously-convenient insistence on shaving thirty seconds off a months-long time delay, I'm having trouble adjusting to the other bit.
It's entirely possible the Mitd just has a high int score with low wis, a trait commonly attached to children (which is something the monster might actually be given his reference to his fathers size and how much he ate).
That should atleast narrow down the mitds race quite a bit.
