The apology do I make now for not replying so well the last of my questions; each and every response that comes to me I shall give a reply today.

And -- what sort of monsters do you and your people suffer from?

It's fairly mainstream to doubt the very existence of either monsters or even gods over here. If they exist, they are very shy.

We have fierce animals, but they are rare.

Consider the World Tree definition of monster. It literally refers to every nonprime species of animal. Given that (arguably) the only prime-analogue we have on Earth is human, I'm pretty sure every domestic animal and everything that humans ever competed with for resources during their multi-millennial history counts for this purpose.

Therefore, I would tend to argue the following: most are subdued, some farmed, a few kept as pets. Some sneaky little insects and arachnids still cause problems, but most are harmless.

Nooooo monsters aren't *all* animals. Monsters are dangerous creatures that aren't Primes. Some animals are domesticated or harmless like guntries or blossomaries those aren't monsters. Otherwise it'd be doorwaying to have a pet or sell livestock in the city and that'd be just silly.

The wonder is on me that some monsters here may be domesticated, though not so harmless.

I am shy as well!
