Well they can't ''[[MorePredatorsThanPrey all]]'' be predators can they? Plus, plant-eating animals are typically more capable of growing huge than meat-eating ones, due to the fact that their diets have less restrictions.

Note that this doesn't necessarily make the Behemoth ''nicer'' than the other monsters. After all, those feet are [[GiantFootOfStomping pretty big...]]

** Alternatively, given the copious thickness of the mist and the lack of any large plants, it's also possible that the Behemoth is a filter-feeder that sifts nutrients from tiny organisms in the mist, much like a terrestrial version of a baleen whale.

[[WMG: This is a lead up to VideoGame/HalfLife1.]]
* Given that the original novella was a ''heavy'' inspiration for the game, I'd say that's not even WMG territory anymore. The resonance cascade in Half-Life was perhaps just a tad more intense. Those theoretical physicists sure never seem to learn (in the eyes of authors/directors/game designers...)

*** The Mist's Amanda Dumfries is The Walking Dead's version of Andrea. They are both employed [[spoiler: in non-combat jobs]], with Amanda as a [[spoiler: school teacher]] and Andrea as a [[spoiler: civil rights lawyer]], they both have a [[spoiler: gun given to them as a gift from a loved one which they have little to no idea how to use]]. They both [[spoiler: died by a gunshot wound to the head]].
*** The Mist's Dan Miller is The Walking Dead's version of Dale Horvath. Dan Miller did not [[spoiler: succumb to the insanity that is Mrs Carmody's new cult]] while Dale Horvath did not [[spoiler: let the new world take him down.]]
*** The Mist's Private Wayne Jessup's analogy in The Walking Dead, however, [[spoiler: did not survive long enough to link up with Rick and Shane's group. He met Rick as a walker instead.]] They are both [[spoiler: soldiers, and they both did not survive their respective apocalypses.]]
*** The mother who walked into the mist just after it covered the town is Carol Peletier's analogy in The Mist. They both have the same strong motherly instinct, begins in their respective apocalypses as [[spoiler: weak characters but both came out as hardened survivors by the end.]]

He met Rick as a walker instead.]] They are both [[spoiler: soldiers, and they both did not survive their respective apocalypses.]]

*** The Mist's David Drayton is an analogy of The Walking Dead's Rick Grimes. They both have a [[spoiler: son to protect, Billy Drayton and Carl Grimes respectively]]. They both [[spoiler: assumed leadership positions in their respective groups]], and they both [[spoiler: lost their wife]] in their respective apocalypse. Rick Grimes' counterpart in The Mist did not do so well probably because he took up art instead of police work.
*** So The Mist's Billy Drayton is a version of Carl Grimes from The Walking Dead.
*** The Mist's Jim Grondin and Myron Lafleur are versions of The Walking Dead's Merle Dixon and Daryl Dixon. They are both described as [[spoiler: 'hicks or white trash' in both verses]], and are of the [[spoiler: streetwise type of characters]], though Merle and Daryl Dixon are more [[spoiler: extreme and are brother]]s. Jim Grondin [[spoiler: fell for Mrs Carmody's preachings]] just as Merle Dixon [[spoiler: fell for The Governor's politics]]. Myron Lafleur [[spoiler: did not go the same way, but remained on David Drayton's side of the conflict]], just as Daryl Dixon [[spoiler: remains on Rick Grimes' side of the conflict.]] Here's another one: David Drayton gets to [[spoiler: beat Jim Grondin up for putting the group in danger]] just like how Rick Grimes gets to [[spoiler: beat Merle Dixon up for putting his group in danger.]]
*** Ambrose Cornell is The Mist's version of Hershel Greene from The Walking Dead. They are both elderly and they both have a shotgun. They both [[spoiler: did not survive through the apocalypse]]. Ambrose [[spoiler: did not get to use his shotgun at all though.]]

[[WMG:The monsters are from the same universe that the titular car connects to in {{From A Buick 8}}]]
The mist actually lets them survive in our world rather than dissolve like they do in From a Buick 8.
