Based on the side quests in Elpis, the Ancients seem to frequently “create first and ask questions later.” There’s potentially an eldritch beaver infestation that one researcher asks us to ignore, there’s the guy who made Behemoths because he just wanted his creation to be super strong, and then there’s the creator of the Cyclops in Anyder running around throwing monsters at random familiars.

Comes down to hubris I think.
then theres pandaemonium. how does a monster with a detachable head help the world?
