From the GM's perspective and considering the time period, are you all
sure you want to rule out the possibility that monsters might exist in and come from other, barely explored, poorly mapped and inhospitable, locations in the world, like Darkest Africa (all but infinite pulp, horror and adventure fiction source materials), Antartica (Poe, Lovecraft, The Thing), remote tropical islands or South African jungles (innumerable sources) or the oceanic depths (vast number of sources)?
