[The Mist] What is the ecosystem of the mist's "home world" like?

I just read that the Discovery Channel is planning to do a special about the Mist Event from six years ago. 

According to the article in TV Guide, it's supposed to focus on all the animals that came through the Portal. Call me cynical, but that probably means a lot of focus on sensationalized, "when-animals-attack"-style crap.

That's why I came to you. You worked at the army base, right? You were able to study the creatures in their native habitat. If I recall correctly, it was *you* who gave the Mantis its scientific name!

So, what's it like? The home dimension of the Mist, I mean. Are the animals all as vicious as the Mantis and the Spiders and the Tentacle Beast? Are there any "peaceful" or "harmless" - relatively speaking, of course - creatures there? What about plant life?

They come from the world between worlds known as the "todash darkness", a realm almost completly absent of light, which explains their dependence on scent. There is nothing there but these monsters, who prey on each other or the occasional traveler caught there.
