Yes, its important to remember that while creatures in our world are the product of evolution over deep time, nothing says that creatures in a fantasy world have to come from the same place. Assuming that a fantasy world works like science says our world works is a classic blunder; making excuses to allow for fantasy tropes, then hemming in the implications of those excuses, is a lot of work which can be avoided by a simple "nobody knows why" or "of course eyes emit vision rays! The idea that they absorb light was refuted by the great Abacadarius in the Year of the Red Fox."
I think that
Banestorm is vague about where the different species come from on their home worlds, and what those worlds have been like since their creation/formation.
