Such a beast would have to be massive and heavily armored. Such a beast would be slow and if you wished for it to follow you, it would slow you down to an enormous degree.

What makes you say that? An elephant's average walking pace is much faster than a human's, and elephants can carry a decent amount of weight.

Or, perhaps add a pack-mule type creation which has an inventory, a lot of HP (so it doesn't die all the time), and cannot fight worth a darn.

That would avoid a lot of complications.

Only formally?

Well, now we have a member that use grammar well. Is not so useless.

You wouldn't have to physically drop the backpack in the game, just that you wouldn't have access to it as if you had dropped it. You can use any reason you want, like - Being surrounded by Vlish and Clawbugs you just don't have time to dig past the shaper equipment, spare weapons, and extra armor to find that speed pod you put in there earlier.

"Don't attack me yet, I found it, now just give me time to move these five iron bars out of the way so I can... AAaagh!" oops your dead.

ie. While in combat mode trying to open your backpack would do absolutely nothing until combat has been ended.

As it stands, rogue creations and such are a problem because power is in the hands of so few; the majority of people are not able to defend themselves.
If more people were allowed to shape, then there would be more accidents, but they'd each be quickly contained. (Having an evil drakon or two wandering about wouldn't be a problem if every town had ten mages in it--some human, some drayk--capable of shaping, not fully trusting each other but obeying the laws because each is outnumbered.)
