Last bit of consideration for the end game. Assuming everything will increase: letters available, items, abilities and even the size of monsters. The bottom feels like a better place for the UI.
Finally, the location Title will appear first then fade out. Then the letters will appear so that we can keep the Title in the same place 
I’ll also have to use some kind of glow to make sure the creatures are more visible and so the Player can appreciate the depth and form of each creature or it doesn’t look as interesting.
