That seems really weird. I mean, if you're an 8th level character, surely you have some experience and backstory. It's usually hard to get GMs to shut up about stuff like that, filling in the entire history of the area.Even when I told him from what part of the continent I wanted to come and I asked him which creatures where most common in that area he just told me that he couldn't spoiler it.
I'm not honestly really sure what I'd do about that. I really expect GMs to help when it comes to connecting character backstory to the world and that's definitely part of your backstory.
From what little he said, I'd lean towards animal or magical beast and probably not giant, monstrous humanoids, or humanoid subtypes like orc or goblin. It might be worth asking what sort of countries or civilizations exist in that area. If nothing else, natural enemy of the dominant race in the area can't hurt.
If I was still set on being ranger, I'd probably take very broad options and just not depend on using them very much. When you get up to 10th level, you'll be able to use the spell Instant Enemy, which lets you use your favored enemy bonus regardless.
Cheers!
