On the wand-hand, if you're going to have crazy wizards anyway forbidding them from creating magical beasties (and especially pointlessly weird things like owlbears) is probably a different mistake.
For purposes of this thread, the crazy wizards are going to be around anyway, because these are magical settings (and there might be some systems where With Great Insanity Comes Great Power, or vice versa), so monsters and other things are some of the likely results.
