You have to go back to the Ice Age, when Australia had Dinosaur-sized Goannas with poisonous bites, land Crocodiles that could outrun any human, Leopard-sized Drop Bears with a jaw that could slice the leg off of a kangaroo with a single bite, Giant Snakes, giant killer Ducks 3 metres high and more.

>>54194634
Depends on the location.

Desert? Relatively safe.
Woodlands? Usually safe, but the deeper you get, the bigger the monsters get, until you're delaign with giant insects, everything being dire, and the natural predators - bulettes and tendriculous. Not a safe place near the center.
Jungles: Many bitey things live here, and what isn't bitey is probably diseased unless it's outright poisonous.
Grasslands: Mostly safe, except for one particular savannah that is nightmare central due to magical warfare. going there is just askign to be eaten alive by some intelligent monstrosity that just wants you to suffer.
Mountains: Only really hardy things live there, and some of them are pretty dangerous as a result of scarce food.
Underdark: Only three types of things live in the underdark in this setting: vermin, oozes, and OHMYGODITSEATINGMYFACEWHATISITHALPblaarghimded. That latter set of creatures is really hard to classify.
Ocean: Here there be everything.
Space: Well, it's either really empty or you encounter really freaking weird shit that mostly leaves you alone.

Well that depends on whether you're in the equivalent to the English countryside or the equivalent to the middle of Africa.

dire moose that eat entire trees, dire beavers who make their homes in seawater areas between close islands. Bags of holding that may or may not contain the piece of an ancient tarrasque. various demonic beings mutated by their environment like the whailer and the Hayre that little to no man has seen much less survive. oh and sometimes a wendigo as well.

Dahkest has the Grootslang, it's own set of dragons, Hippophants, and no few venomous spiders, but if you're a Lizardperson or other kind of native, it's not shockingly dangerous either since you know how to navigate.

Avalon is a carefully managed wilderness. The trolls killed off all the big stuff a long time ago, so anything bad that happens there is from some dumbass furface fucking around with the Dreamlands or Lands Below.

Definitely the later; lots of megafauna in most of the surfaced landmasses (orcs ride hell pigs in my world, and have a supernatural affinity with wild animals in general), the seas are crowded with lots of sea-monsters and their undead versions (open sea navigation is not a booming business, but sometimes the most powerful kingdoms organized heavily armed sea expeditions to try and explore some parts of the oceans rumored with lost treasures and such); also, though the world's calendar is around year 2000 (in terms of civilization, think of late XVth century Europe and Asia), there have been a lot of now lost kingdoms and empires in the last 10k years and, because of heavy practice of necromancy by some of them, from time to time there are huge undead armies rising from here and there.

All these is on average level; he civilized areas are pretty safe, but the most isolated places are teeming with colonies of drakes, giant tribes and extra dimensional shit that leaks into the mortal plane from time to time through some ancient elven portals.

You see there's a cave to the underdark in my continent (which is the setting) and the mindflayers had an idea to seriously destroy the overworld so they could take it over. They began creating a powerful portal to the far realm in the entrance of the underdark. a portal which would seal them there until closed but that would unleash the chaos of the far realm to the world and keep them safe. However they vastly overestimated their magical powers and only managed to make a tear which is now constantly spewing out the energy of the far realm on the continent (as it gets dispersed after that due to being weak and having to go far to reach any other place).

This far realm energy caused the wildlife to mutate into dire beasts over time and even sometimes causing the creation of a barbarian kesserach. Theyre larger barbarians that can basicly mind-suplex nature itself to its will, angering druids, elves, gnomes and anything else associated with nature.

As for the beavers well theyre part of the mutation, they became just too god damn huge to make a home in a river anymore so they went to the ocean instead.

Manors as in the fief structure, not fancy houses. The beasts themselves are just that, beasts, blobs of flesh difficult to describe and impossible to depict, a wholly chaotic form with no fixed shape in a constant state of flux. Imagine an amorphous blob of muscle fiber and flesh, boiling hot from the friction of the constantly shifting cells and regenerating tissue, which moves not by any natural gait but by "rolling". Like an urchin rolled down a hill, only instead of spikes it's arms, legs, tendrils, claws, teeth, and hands bursting forth and ripping their way forward. They drag themselves across the ground, ripping it up and often seeding it with their corrupted blood, tainting the land itself.

From said taint sown by the passing of the abominations, twisted forms of the natural wildlife spring forth from the wildlife, such as carnivorous deer or packs of giant boar which predate on humans. The forest itself is turned against humans and the whole thing has to destroyed or sanctified.

Ranges from moderately dangerous to dark heart of Africa to Jurassic Park to Jurassic Park if the dinosaurs had instinctual baseline magical abilities to motherfucking kaiju. And then there are the fae, who often prove worse for people than any wild animal ever could. Generally the further away from civilization you get the more crazy the creatures you encounter. But it's a big world, and really strong people are very good at keeping monsters at bay, and even not so strong people as technology becomes more prevalent.

>>54194634

Varies from place to place.
It can be very dangerous if you do not stick to the main roads: at that point you'd find mostly boars that are a pain in the ass, but easy to dispatch if you are properly equipped and/or have allies. This aside, step off the main roads, and you'd risk to encounter all kinds of monsters and critters. Sometimes you find intelligent ones though, and those can be reasoned with more or less. Always ask your local villagers about the local dangers.

The wilderness is incredibly dangerous, natural light sources are incredibly rare so the wild life has evolved a bunch of different ways to get around in the pitch dark where as people, being transplants to the setting are defenseless with out light.
Wildlife depending on region can range from Africa levels of fuck me to relatively safe as long as you don't get bitten by anything poisonous or spook a bigger animal into mauling you, but even then if you run out of light you're guaranteed dead
In addition to the wild life however you'll find the occasional wandering genetic experiment created by the precursor race which usually take a team of people to take down and are incredibly disruptive to the local ecosystem

There should only be one L in "abyssal pain."

>>54194634
It depends. Where there's a long history of civilized settlement, it's fairly pastoral. Well, except when you get to areas where people don't live any more because of economic reasons and population contraction, at which point you essentially see all that European megafauna we don't have now moving back in from less settled areas.

Another continent, on the other hand, is much more like North America about 14000 years ago in its animal community. So, there's some really dangerous megafauna there.

And then you have another where it's like the middle of Africa with some large areas of Abyssal taint. So, ridiculously aggressive demon-animals. Naturally, the few humanoid communities that live there can't really get past nomadic hunting and gathering because that just makes them easier prey for the acid-spitting demonic elephant shrews, but they're also basically Catachans.
