Evolution has begun to repeat itself and is filled with rodents, insects, dinosaurs and even flesh-eating plants that are trying to kill the humans, but also each other. The entire world of 7 Seeds by the time our characters awaken in it.Those who live on such a world may be an example of Had to Be Sharp. Sometimes they are genetically engineered. Sure, half of the population might not survive through adolescence, but those who do should make good soldiers. Some actually take advantage of this as a way of training their Super Soldiers on a planetary scale. Alternately, it may be Mordor, and/or home for an exceptionally tough and ferocious race. Very few people would ever choose to live there, but since anyone who does is almost always a badass, expect any populated Death World to be a World of Badass by default. (Of course, if it's also a Genius Loci, it just might be!) It's like the entire place is deliberately hostile to human life. It could be from hazardous environmental conditions, such as an acidic swamp or poisonous fog, or from powerful native predators (Here there be Dragons, or worse, something that eats them), dangerous flora, or even all of the above. A Death World is a highly dangerous place, where simply going there is considered taking your life into your own hands.
