Mysterious monsters without much explanation?

[kaynide]

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.

Could be; could also be why there are so many fish-like mobs that float (Tempest/Violet Tides/really any beach).

Considering Bismark is intelligent and not just a beast, it seems very likely the case.
