The amount of light (photic zones), temperatures, and pressures cause distinct levels where different things live. Run with that. Pick an ideal depth for each group of monsters, and branch out from there. Some groups could be antagonistic to those above them (they want to expand their territory and get closer to the sun). Others could be focused on creating harmony with their neighbors (they respect the ecological benefits that come from those above and below them).The bigger monsters come from deeper down, of course. And the top dwellers have the most contact with humans. Atlantis itself should be somewhere around 3 layers down - deep enough to be entrenched and surrounded, but not so deep that humans can't access it when the story demands.</blockquote>
