I've been here since last winter. [So, it had been a while.]

I don't know that we have god-tier beings back home, per se, but I've seen some stuff that is definitely a lot like magic and stuff. And weird creatures... probably could be considered monsters.

[Definitely could be considered monsters. A giant planet-eating worm that shot lasers out its mouth and could live in the vacuum of space absolutely qualified for the 'monster' label.]
