The Ravager will form a sort of weather for the Underlands, a place that has no harsh winds nor heavy rains. An occasional storm of devastation. This will provide some variety to cave-dwelling life. Some. Spice.
I am not yet certain how I feel about this guaranteed safety of one quarter of those encountered, as this ensures that the healing flowers that bloom around the Ravager are harvest-able with a sort of great ease. Though the sacrifice of one's companions for this healing is a worthy one, there is always the risk of mortals deciding to surround themselves with expendable slaves... Well. If such a measure is one they would take, then so be it. It will be interesting to see how mortals react.
Aye, and aye again. Let there be a skulking darkness once more, harsh, yet survivable, by the fortunate and the ruthless. After all, one does not need to outrun the ravager - one needs to outrun three quarters of one's companions.
Though I do not much sound like it, I suppose, for the most part I agree with your approach. An unsurvivable storm is an execution, not a trial; This way, although the struggle with the beast itself is largely futile, there is the struggle with one's compatriots to consider.

Taken from that angle, it is a worthy thing.
