[Shade-o]

I was looking through my pile of semi-megabeasts, and noticed that there was an abundance of tags that caused them to steal food, drink, and crafts. Partially motivated by interest, partially by annoyance at the clutter that this generates over history, I removed them all.

It was interesting.

The worlds that I generated were much lower in civilisation count. In fact, many of them completely lacked kobolds and elves. The others were also much smaller and less expansionary.

After a few strange worlds, I checked the Legends. It was brutal.

Without the stealing of trinkets and snacks to distract them, Minotaurs and Ettins simply killed. Many civilisations were destroyed before the first generation of children could grow up. The sentient races were either dead, or barely holding on.

So let that be a lesson to you. When you read Legends and snort in annoyance as you see row after row of how a monster steals beer and earrings, do consider that the alternative is a bloody world of empty dreams and Minotaur-Kings sitting atop piles of bones. Because deep inside, they don't want to crush, kill, and destroy. They just want a hoard of cow meat.

Would be an interesting endeavor to try to re-balance the world around these new, bloodier monstrosities, and see just how dangerous a world you can make.  I might give that a try when I have time.

Damn you for inciting my imagination. Now I'm going to have to generate a new world.

Wait. You're saying that semi-megabeasts stealing wild strawberries is worse than worldwide slaughter?
