Here is how Uniques' islands were arranged and discovered. All Carcralocks originated in the Stablo Mjehurica as Grumpyres who built metallic suits out of Reebro's body. Eventually, the monsters were able to alter the world tree and they seperated forming a new multiverse where they sent all the islands into. The Clangor Gateway is how monsters & islands are transferred between the two multiverses. When the Gateway moves, it makes this multiverse unstable, unless the countless number of civilizations stop it, this multiverse might break.
Credit to Logan peters & me for the music The current year is 5702 (5702 yrs since the Carcralocks left the Stablo Mjehurica) The monsters evolve so quickly because of civilizations such as the Ancient Peapod selectively breeding traits.
