	The origin of many creatures is related to humanoid activities. With old mines; the manner of extraction of ore from rock creates dust, grit and slag, which is a sort of offal for jellies, puddings and oozes. Once a mine has been closed for fifty years or so, these creatures will emerge from the muck, born from it, then continue to feed until the natural diminishing food supply for them runs out ... which can take a millennium or so.
