I like Larian. I really do. I just like consistency in a fantasy world. If you call a creature a red dragon, it should act like a red dragon. If you call a dragon a Cosmos Dragon, something no one has ever heard of, wow! Cool. You made up a new dragon. Tell me more. It flies in space? It can shoot stars out of its eyes? Great.
But don't make it look like a red dragon and call it a red dragon. I honestly think the easiest way for Larian to make us all happy about the monsters is to rename them and tweak their appearances. Call the Phase Spiders in the game now something like Zap Spitter Spiders and give them some new lore and change their appearance and we're good. Elliette created them or birthed them from her weird twisted magic.
But you gotta make goblins goblins and devourers devourers and imps imps.
