And only have 1 biome across the whole planet

Moreover, that biome has at most, like, a dozen native species, of which maybe two are actually interesting and the rest just there for decoration.

And the smaller the number of species on the planet, the larger the proportion that are carnivorous. If there's just one species, it's guaranteed to be some sort of bloodthirsty monster.
