Now, I'm obviously not referring to the fish cave or the Mermog cave when I am typing this, but I was wondering about the little cave in the Kelp Forest that's home to rather cute looking creatures that have a connection to the Mother Nature Boss. Unfortunately, I discovered the cave only AFTER I defeated said boss, so I do not know why the creatures are so relieved that I beat it, other than the hint in the little cutscene.
What are these creatures?
Why did the creator choose not to destroy them? (Did he? or did he just fail to?)
