That's no contradiction. You actually *can* ride on an ostrich, giant toads are an *imaginable* thing nature could (and has, in the past) come up with, and whether Morbols are plants is... well... a good question. In my book, those squirrels and ladybugs are o.k. as LV 1 enemies, but once I use more than a loincloth to cover my body, I have a hard time trying to imagine *how on earth* they manage do chip away at my HP.

Fireballs: o.k.
Magic Samurai Dwarfs: o.k.
Pink Elephants floating in the sky: borderline
Goats killing a Paladin with... snot: no-no.
