The World is Filled with Monsters is a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfiction by Cold-in-Gardez, set over a thousand years before the show's time and before Luna's fall and transformation into Nightmare Moon. It follows Vermillion, an earth pony soldier in the Equestrian army, whose force is sent to the frontier settlement of Hollow Shades to relieve a distress call only for it to be overrun and destroyed by a horde of Giant Spiders. This is only the first sign of a larger disaster, as ancient creatures of the wilderness begin to stir and besiege the edges of civilization.While Equestria as a whole opts to batten its hatches and defend its borders, Vermillion and a small group of soldiers from his old unit are chosen by Luna to strike back against the monsters and defend the small settlements beyond Equestria's frontier, as she believes that simply waiting out the tide of darkness will allow it to grow too strong for even Equestria's collective strength to hold back. Things slowly begin to grow far more complicated than this, however, as Luna seems to have less than selfless motives behind the whole enterprise, and not all monsters lurk in the woods...The story is set in the same universe as an earlier work by the author, Lost Cities. Notably, two cities originally depicted as abandoned ruins there — the pegasus fortress-city of Derecho and the Equestrian capital of Everfree — are still inhabited during the time of The World is Filled With Monsters. | |

Emotion Eater: Dreamoras, formless parasites that infest ponies' minds and force them to relive memories of shame and weakness. They then feed on the resulting thoughts, memories and experiences until their victims are nothing but mindless husks. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| The World is Filled with Monsters (Fanfic) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: There is a fair bit of prejudice going on among the pony tribes, and some of it is internalized as well — many earth ponies, for instance, genuinely believe unicorns to be superior to themselves. | |

Savage Wolves | |
| The World is Filled with Monsters (Fanfic) / int_603b77ec | comment |
Savage Wolves: Amoraqs, ferocious wolves the size of a bear, are among the beasts that have been moving into the territories around Hazelnacht. They hunt alone, unlike regular wolves, stalking the wilderness for unwary prey. One attacks the heroes on their way to Cirrane, and amoraqs were also responsible for the deaths of Stratolathe's teammates. | |

Starter Villain | |
| The World is Filled with Monsters (Fanfic) / int_60ea2a89 | comment |
Starter Villain: Blightweaver. It's a terrifying, seemingly unstoppable threat when it appears, but it's dealt with early into the story and it later becomes evident that it's only a part of much, much vaster stirrings, and far from the most dangerous thing out there in the wild. | |

Monstrous Cannibalism: In its introduction, Blightweaver casually devours the corpse of one of its fallen daughters. When Vermillion is shocked at this, Blightweaver calmly remarks that it ate its daughter because it is in its nature to consume everything. | |

Enchanted Forest: The Creeping Gloom, a vast forest outside the borders of Equestria. Its trees are thick enough to block all light and make the one path through it seem more like a tunnel than anything, it's shrouded in constant fog, and at the start of the story it's become home to a colony of giant spiders. | |

Time Abyss: It's not made clear how old it is, exactly, but Blightweaver is implied to be very old indeed. If its boasts are to be taken at face value, it was already around before ponies developed civilization or even sapience. | |

Giant Spider | |

Giant Spider: The first monsters encountered in the story are a colony of enormous and very aggressive spiders, ranging from the size of a cat to the size of a house to the biggest of them all, Blightweaver, which is more than two stories tall and has legs as thick as tree trunks. The first sign the company gets of them is enormous webs stretching across most of a forest's canopy, with whole flocks of geese webbed up like flies. | |

Kill It with Fire: Moonfire, a kind of extremely dangerous and volatile magical flame capable of consuming just about anything, is used to great effect against the spiders. It's later used to attempt to take down Blightweaver. In this, it fails miserably. | |

Collector of the Strange | |
| The World is Filled with Monsters (Fanfic) / int_b36ae36a | comment |
Collector of the Strange: Luna. Her "office" in Everfree Castle is not so much an actual office as a massive, dimly lit warehouse filled to the brim with a collection of objects and artifacts that she collected over her long life — works of art, musical instruments, armor and weapons, books and scrolls, statues and monuments, chandeliers, piles of coins and precious gems, astronomical equipment and countless other things. The resulting hoard is stored with no order whatsoever, the centuries-old junk and treasures all stacked and piled haphazardly in massive heaps as far as the eye can see. | |

| The World is Filled with Monsters (Fanfic) / int_bea77379 | comment |
Youkai: Yokai are a kind of trickster spirit with no true form of their own, or at least none that can be seen directly; by themselves, they're simply insubstantial wisps of mist and magic, barely able to perceive or interact with the physical world unless they possess a living pony. If they do, they can use illusions to disguise themselves as any sort of fantastical creature they can imagine. They're not truly malicious beings, as they simply wish for the chance to experience the world like other living things can, but they cause the ponies they possess to become sluggish, dull-minded and barely aware of the world themselves. | |

| The World is Filled with Monsters (Fanfic) / int_d63f95a8 | comment |
Will-o'-the-Wisp: Will-o-Wisps are among the creatures that have been encroaching on the lands around Hazelnacht. They're described as clusters of little lights that appear on the moors at night, bobbing and weaving and enticing travelers to head closer and investigate them. They have an almost hypnotic effect, making victims obsessed with reaching them and finding out what their excited movement is about, luring them further and further away from the path. Particularly lucky or perceptive people are able to see past the light and see the wisps' wings, eyes and teeth. The rest are eaten. | |
