Well you can spin off of this... I used a dull example for the sake of the
post, but you could have the scores of rats attract hoards of orcs that
like them as a delicacy, keeping the rat population in check despite the
lack of cats.  However, these orcs also compete for resources and space
now with players.  (and once again you have a reason for things instead of
pointless killing, going back to another thread)  There are many more
possibilities for fantastic creatures to have strange roles in a mythical
food chain.
