I’ve been noticing how the forest is changing with the seasons, and I’m curious about how the creatures that wander there—both wildlife and monsters—affect the ecosystem.

That’s so true—every tiny shift can echo through the whole forest. The monsters, even if they’re not the usual predators, still play a part in keeping things balanced, and when their numbers swing one way or another, it really does ripple through the plants, the herbivores, and even the humans who walk those paths. It’s a living reminder that every creature, no matter how small or strange, matters.

You’re right—every creature, even the odd ones, plays a part. Just remember to keep the blade’s purpose in mind: it’s a tool for protection, not aggression. Protecting the forest means staying mindful of how we act, even when we’re prepared for danger.
