Question 24

July, 2021 - [No Link]

Q: Similarly, was there ever any more detail about the origin of some of the more mundane beasts, like Armoredillos, Mites, Monouga, Shreth, or Tuskers? Or were they simply creatures from other worlds, with details to be determined later?

A: Yeah, of those creatures you mention, the Mites were the ones that had the most backstory. I had imagined they reproduced very quickly, and a possible threat was that they would overrun Dereth with shear numbers, creating a crisis of sorts. In general, we didn't specify the worlds where the other creatures came from simply because we had so much world building to do. Each new place represented a daunting amount of work for what would arguably add very little to the game.
