For example, if we are talking desert, you can very well get true burrowing snakes, but also same problem as caves: how do you put enough nutrition in a desert for something to grow that big without removing the desert? Unless...dodogama in snake form. Chonky danger noodles just wanna eat rocks :3
And as for swamps, the problem I found was that burrowing isn't really all that viable for large creatures like that, even when I specifically put them in a biome with soft soil. So at most I could see them making small holes in the mud, again, ambush predators.
Speaking of, the lack of vision really tunnels them into that niche I feel. Unless you have some real fucking good echolocation, you usually won't actively chase prey, but rely on suprise attacks instead.
As for caves, could make a very, VERY specific biome for them, and make it very localized, like our very own Proteus anguinus, who lives in only a handful of caves in Slovenia and nowhere else in the world. Not every animal species has to thrive, after all.
Also, if you thought the first part was good, definitely check the rest, specially the ending. It was heart wrenching when I first read it.
Also also, parasite infections > magic artillery > artillery
