Yeah sure, and i like this too. But chaos is part of glorantha, rq one or hq one imho.
"Monster hunting" is much less the goal of HQ than RQ (or

Excuse me but chaos can be more than this ... and glorantha/rq was
more than dd or monster bashing.
Something like the book Dorastor, Land of Doom tell us than chaos
and broo can give the "political/religious/cultural tensions". Chaos
is more than monster bashing.
Shadow on the borderland was another one. The storie with muriah/duc
raus and special lunar force was a MGF ;)
The ogre with the cult of cacodemon or the cult of thanhatar can give
lots of things.
I like a lot what is done with heroquest but somethimes it seems, to
me "to fall in the hands" of specialist of historical real life
culture. They do great things , but monster can have a culture too !

Sure but its not only this :) Why do you see chaos as monster bashing only ?
There is no attack in this ;) i do what i can with my english.
