Demiurge removed various sample units from the unicellular sea organisms, which were still thriving in the oceans. He modified them to exist and grow on land. He adapted them first to take nourishment from the plant life, which he permitted to abound for this very purpose. Thus it was that the first of the land creatures came into being. They took nourishment from the plants, thus ending their life span and producing low grade Loosh. Upon the death of each animal, additional Loosh was produced. The quantity was massive, but the frequency pattern of the Loosh residue still left much to be desired. The dinosaurs and other large animals had a life span far out of proportion to their nourishment input. The growth and life-termination process was of such length that soon they would all but decimate the vegetation- The entire Garden would be out of balance, and there would be no Loosh production whatsoever, both the animals and plants faced extinction. As the vegetation grew scarce, energy needs of the animals became acute. Often two animals would seek to ingest the identical plant. This created Conflict, which resulted in physical struggle among two or more of the ungainly animals. Demiurge observed these struggles, at first bemused with the problem, then with great interest. As the struggles ensued, the animals were emanating Loosh! Not in minuscule amounts, but in sizable, usable quantities and of a much higher purity.
