... is construction truly complete if you haven't lost a few workers to the Alligators in the moat? Could you have a moat without some sort of carnivorous beast in there?

I would say that on a purely physical level, the construction could be complete without free lunch for the alligators. HOWEVER, for the sake of form and propriety, some kind of sacrifice must be made. One could have non carniverous animals in the moat. I would respectfully submit the duck billed platypus.

Sorry to be so serious with my answer, but you can indeed have a moat w/o a carniverous beast in it --it's called a dry moat. Dry moats which surrounded castles and forts (there is one surrounding Ft. Warren on Georges Island in Boston Harbor) allowed the intruders to be mowed down by the defenders of the fort who shot down at them through slots in the fort's wall.
I hope you get the moats out of my answer. (I know, that's really dry, huh?)

Yes it is not necessary to put any beasts in a moat. The water alone is enough to do the job of what a moat is supposed to do.

Moats stored armored foot squaddies from getting too close to to the wall, to placed up ladders for scaling the partitions. If the moat became deep adequate, it may be very complicated to combat in the water, what with issues being rained down on your head (rocks, boiling water or tar,etc), and impossible to establish any style of close-in equipment to recover from the partitions. the only way into the citadel became by way of the drawbridge over the moat, and it may be pulled up in situations of conflict. sometimes (in the 10th century, in the process the Seige of Nantes in France), mercenaries have been employed to tunnel decrease than the moat, arising interior the citadel partitions. sometimes this succeeded and often no longer. in case you think of roughly it, the moat concept is clever and could become defined while you're taking your dogs or cat's nutrition dish and placed it in a large pan of water to maintain the ants away. comparable concept, in simple terms on a diverse scale. additionally, Moats look particularly cool, and there in all probability have been some with alligators or piranhas to deter undesirable intruders.

My moat has flesh eating bunnies and squirrels that like to swim. And the bridge has a troll too!

..Yes, and real estate value up with a moat.
If a dragon is in residence, you don't need a beast in the moat.
Your welcome.
