I created a post type "creatures" I want each post to be automatically assigned to a category, without which the user can choose.

as it happens in the settings for the standard wordpress post.

It's not possible with Toolset or WordPress out of the box.

Uncategorized, added by WordPress Core to every single Post if no category is selected, is a special case.

To have this functionality as well in Custom Taxonomies you would need to add a code snippet which hooks for example into save_post() action.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/save_post
You can use wp_set_post_terms() or wp_set_object_terms() to update the terms of the post.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_set_object_terms

There is no possibility from within the GUI to achieve this.
