Terminology: spontaneous generation

Spontaneous generation is an obsolete scientific theory dating back thousands of years. Ancient peoples believed that animals arose spontaneously from inanimate substances. For example: fleas from dust, maggots from raw meat, mice from grain, etc.

In my fantasy physics, this is true. Animals, fantastical animals, monsters and even people spontaneous generate all the time. They either find their niche or die off. (This also makes it easy to adjudicate dungeons without worrying whether they have a sensible ecology.) There is also lots of other ideas beyond that, so check out the links below the break!
