Mysterious monsters without much explanation?

[Rannie]

I don’t know the details, but I am of the understanding that fae creatures are at least somewhat extra dimensional. As an example, as our fairy friend Feo Ul can communicate to our retainers in the source. It doesn’t strike me as out of place that Bismarck either existed at one time in the source, or a source-version of him existed. I hesitate to say he was a creation of Elpis…but we can probably say everything that exists that isn’t a plane-Jane animal is probably at least ancient-influenced. The facts are we just don’t know the natural state of the world before or outside the ancients.

Why the need for constant new concepts to release in the wild? Is/was the planet barren of life pre-ancients? Why the need to essentially unbalance the ecosystem?

I think they were alluding (or atleast trying) to Bismark in elpis when during the msq Hermes (I think it was him or Hythlodaeus) made mention that the Words of Mitron created a flying fish and it started the fad of giving aquatic life, up to and including the cute little axotle thingies or abystoma, the ability of flight.
