As I was playing thorugh Dwarf Fortress mode and watching the magma flood into the chasm, something dwaned on me,
There are no chasm monsters!
And I mean there never was. Never attacked by antmen, batmen, or any such chasm creatures.

The only thing that I think may have been causing it is something very peculiar at the cave river:

Yes, that's branching off of the cave river. And yes, that is a chasm at the edge of it.

Any comments?

The area of the map with this feature is called "The waterfall" and assumably has absolutely no bearing on the actual chasm area of the map.

Realise that at a certain point in the game, the chasm will become pacified when enough lava has flown into it. Water though, will likely only serve to piss off the creatures and not kill them like the lava will.

Also realise that it is also possible for there to never be an attack by water-river creatures, or lava-river creatures. Attacks seem to be completely random, though their regularity is determined by how "aggitated" the area is.

Waterfalls commonly have chasm tiles associated with them.

Have you chasmed any refuse yet?  If so, then you definitely have a rather quiet chasm.

Waait, nevermind. I just found a giant mole corpse in one of my chasm traps.

Yeah, if your chasm only has gremlins and lone large animals you won't notice them as much.
