I could easily see a raid and a couple of dungeons existing using some type of lore along the lines of it taking all the focus of whoever is sending you there, to allow mortals to roam in that area. For mobs there could be dragons, Trolls and their "gods" (it does state that some of them exist in the emerald dream), tons of spawns from the Old God, and possibly some guardians created by the Titans.
