Yes, of course. Forgot to mention that, thanks for bringing it up.

Abyssical monsters do not necessarily have to worship Lugonu (some special 
ones might do) -- many of them are unvoluntarily down there. But it is 
true that killing Abyssians should gain no piety because you are repleting 
Lugonu's resources.
And no, monsters shouldn't be all-neutral in the Abyss for a Lugonite -- 
the Abyss is more like "survival of the fittest for later Corruptions", 
not kindergarten.
