This is not to say they are completely harmless: some of these creatures can also be found in the Environmental Danger: Beast table, as they possess the natural weaponry to be considered a threat in their own right. However, this table presents a great opportunity to think outside the box - perhaps these creatures have massively overpopulated, are spreading disease, have rampaged, or are being controlled by magic. Alternatively, this table could simply be used to fill out the ecosystem with some local fauna. #### Specific Fauna | Step | Environmental Danger: Beasts | Typically Non-Threatening Beasts | | --------- | -------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | 1st Fauna | `dice:[[Swamps -
