They are specified as 'Forest Creatures'. While, yes, originally this meant around the Deepwoods, they were created before sentient life, so would have had plenty of time to travel. And since the early days Galbar has been covered in trees (in most places on Earth that aren't deserts, if there aren't lots of trees it's because Civilisation has cut them all down), these forest creatures would have probably spread quite far.

Makes sense. Believe it or not, Violet Slug population growth is now responsible for the reworking of some character arc plans, though this is certainly not an unwelcome development.
