In one of my fantasy settings, the magical/fantastical creatures had to have a different explanation from the natural ones, because they notably did not exist until some fool ripped a hole in reality in the New Mexico desert. I've described it as "Technomancer, but almost everyone died."

Fortunately, said hole serves as adequate justification for the appearance of (or mutation into) any sort of creatures I cared to include.
