I always liked the idea that The Maul of Omens was created by the Zarosian empire. Vorago is latin for whirlpool, and latin (or infernal as it's known in-universe) was the main language of the empire... The Maul even has a little bit of purple on it.

So my main theory atm is that Vorago went on his little rampage at some point in the second age, but the Zarosian empire (or Zaros himself for all we know) created a weapon to defeat him.
------------------------
The Chaos Elemental is around 12 000 years old according to Top Trumps, which would make him one of the oldest beings on Gielinor. It's possible that he's some sort of manifestation of Anima similar to the spirit guardians of Mazcab. He might have been corrupted by the wilderness explosion.

He could be related to the balance elemental somehow, though I personally doubt it.
------------------------
As for the Araxytes I don't have any theories of my own. However, I believe another Lorumer theorised that the "acid" in The Araxyte Cave is actually a huge pool of ectoplasm that Necrovarius had discovered earlier and that the Araxytes were regular spiders that mutated from exposure to it. -
I have noticed your kind does tend to blindly stumble forward towards danger simply because it exists. What is your word for that?

We're starting see these anima creations pop up more and more. Really expect we'll learn more about them as the elder god quest progresses and when Idle Adventrures is released. "Your god's dead next time he's in a world event. "

From what I understand here's what's known or at least accepted:

Vorago is indeed a being of the Anima Mundi. He was presumably created when some threat to the world (yes, given his proximity, the destruction of Forinthry is the likely candidate) arose, and the Anima Mundi responded. The Maul of Omens itself is obviously magical in some way, though in what way I'm not sure. I think the only (in-game) person who could fill in these gaps is Vorago himself.

The Araxytes were never really explained much, they're just really creepy giant spiders. As Hguoh already pointed out, the survival of the Araxytes seems paramount in Araxxors and Araxxis mind. The fact that they feed on vampyres is interesting, because the vampyres are the race most known for feeding on other living beings. My personal theory is some whacko vyre (looking at you, Lowerniel) experimented with haemalchemy or blood magic and spiders, and accidentally created them.

The Chaos Elemental is the one I have a more solid theory on. A popular theory is that he's some resulting monstrosity of the Catalyst being used by Zamorak to destroy Forinthry, and I agree... partially. The first thing I think of when I think of the cHaoS eLemenTAl is teleportation. Where does most modern-day teleportation pass through, somewhere that can be accessed in the Wilderness? The Abyss. A

All are interesting theories!

Vorago (and Telos and Yakamaru), in my opinion, are obviously guardians created by the Anima Mundi to protect the planet they're on. However, I'm confused on why Vorago decided to use his power for destructive purposes. Maybe he was actually protecting Gielinor from malevolent invaders, and they're the ones who originally defeated him?

And if you think about it, Nex was released January 2011. Fate of the Gods was released March 2014. That's over THREE years for her backstory to be known. That's pretty saddening, really.
(It's been three years since Vorago was released, too.)

Technically, all sentient life on Gielinor (excluding anima constructs and the Tokhaar/Tzhaar) is an invading force (having been brought in to colonize the plane from other worlds).

Allow me to reiterate:
A living creature from a different plane came to Gielinor and blew half the continent off the map.
He was named Zamorak. Newest Disciple of Xau-Tak
