Those do occur int he west. Of course,they have their own unique critters
as well. Chaos is inconsistant, but various things among the category do
exist better or more commonly within different eco-zones. That is, the
various chaos monsters tend to be found in more specific regions.

Chaos does not come from any of the standard planes. It does not exist in the God, Spirit or Sorcerous Planes. It is, in general, from its own plane. However, it doesn't have a plane per se.

When the GL tried to do this they used the same sorceries, but the sea
dragons never acquiesced and they never succeded in making the ships.

Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack. Surely significent dragons existed, as intrusions, especially in the mythic time periods of Danmalastan.
