#corvus does not think nature is gross even when nature is giant slimy leeches

The thing about the Cursed Caldera is that it's *really obvious* the monsters don't belong there.
The place is desolate. I saw a giant skeleton of something that looked like an herbivore, but very few plants it might have eaten. Same thing with the hunters and scavengers.

For one thing, this definitely shouldn't be bothering about tiny humans. Also, the Caldera is cold and dry. Leeches, like other worms, breathe through their skin. They need to stay moist. For something this size, that fog isn't going to cut it. 
Every single monster has issues like this. The wild is complicated, and the Cursed Caldera isn't even trying to make sense.
If you tell the villagers about this, they just say the monsters are probably magic. They don't call it the Regular Biome Caldera. But even magic creatures have a life cycle, a food chain, a habitat.
If you tell Lord Viren this, he goes hunting. He came back empty-handed. Said nothing he found was magic at all.
In hindsight...yeah. Real answer’s even weirder. I could offer to help @ask-lujanne-anything​ design an ecosystem, but why would she need that? She just needs scary, not realistic.
