Subject: syntax error for a case within a module

For the project at <http://code.google.com/p/dwemthys/source>, I want to 
use this module to instantiate a random Creature.  Maybe a Dragon, maybe 
a GreenDragon, maybe an IndustrialRaverMonkey or something else :)

I've done something similar in the past, but now I seem to have a syntax 
error.  Normally I would "return Dragon" or similar, but for now just 
want to get the syntax squared away:

thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/dwemthys $ 
thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/dwemthys $ 
thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/dwemthys $ ruby instantiate.rb 
instantiate.rb:16: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND
thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/dwemthys $ 
thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/dwemthys $ cat instantiate.rb 
require 'dragon'
 
module Instantiate
 
def makeCreature.randomCreature()
 
        creatureType=Kernel.rand(0)
 
        case creatureType
        when 0
                return 0
        when 1
                return 1
        end   #case
end  #makeCreature
 
thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/dwemthys $




thanks,
