In the season finale podcast, the producers of the show made a statement that we have seen the monster in season two, and didn't know it. They worded it very carefully.
The impression was that they were not talking about the "nano cloud" that Mr. Ekko saw, but something else.
This fueled a frenzy of idea's about what or who the monster is. Recently, a third Lost inside man, the script editor, added an extra tidbit.
I will just copy this post from another board, (credit to "I am the monster") who is a cool fellow.
quote:
NARROWING THE SEARCH:
Conversation from TheFuselage today
PhilB: In the final podcast, Damon and Carlton hint that the audience may have been looking at the monster and not realized it. Simply put, do YOU know what they are referring to? Of course you can't tell us what they meant, but I'm just curious if you know what they mean or not.
Gregg Nations (LOST Script Coordinator): Yes, I know what they meant. They are kind of devilish to put that hint out there like that, aren't they? I can give you a further hint: they are referring to an espisode after "The 23rd Psalm." That was episode 10, so it's basically in the second half of the season. Good luck finding it. And enjoy rewatching the episodes.

The Island's Eye
We are talking about an appearance in "AN EPISODE" - not many episodes - and that episode is in 11-23!
At first I wondered if this nixed the 'Vincent' theory, but then I believe he was only in 'S.O.S' and '3 Minutes' so I guess that's not entirely out... though if it is truly a single, specific episode, then Vincent's gone.
Possibilities it does rule out:
- ANY of the Survivors
- "Henry Gale"
- Rousseau
- Other Others
- Injections/The Vaccine itself
Still Possibilities:
- 2.11 - Others' Torches/Smoke
- 2.12 - Charlie's Visions
- 2.18 - Dave. This is still one of my favorite theories, since we know the Monster can 'read' people's pasts. But if it wanted to kill Hurley, why wouldn't it just eat him rather than try and convince him to jump off a cliff. Seems more likely this was Hurley speaking to himself in some looney subconscious way...
- 2.21 - Yemi in Locke and Eko's Visions
- 2.23 - Hurley-Bird
- 2.23 - The Crazy White Sky
The only problem with the 'Visions' theories is why would it be one set of visions and not another...
Leaving only 'realisitically': Dave (A Different kind of vision - a la Jack's Dad), the Hurley-Bird, and the Crazy White Sky...
Unless of course, the REAL monster is peer pressure.
"Man is a marvelous curiosity ... he thinks he is the Creator's pet ... he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea." Mark Twain
If it was Dave, it would mean the monster has power outside the Island, as it tormented Hurley in the real world, in his flashbacks.
Or, like another idea I read, it could mean that the monster reads your mind, so it could become whatever it wanted. That would explain Kates Horse, and Hurleys' Dave.
I just had a thought... from your last post, Dave.
Each animal that you're bringing up, well, it has a connection to Sawyer.
The polar bear.... was after Sawyer.
The frog... drove Sawyer nuts.
The dog, Vincent... in their camp, and around Sawyer.
The "Hurley Bird"... swooped over Sawyer.
The shark... we saw it, swimming around the raft (and if you were fast enough, you saw the Dharma symbol on it's tail), when Sawyer was shot, and they were stranged out there.
The horse... when Kate saw the horse, the second time (right?), Sawyer was there, with her, and saw it too.
It was just a thought... but, it entered my mind, so I'm sharing it.

Whidden said this in post #5 : Or, like another idea I read, it could mean that the monster reads your mind, so it could become whatever it wanted. That would explain Kates Horse, and Hurleys' Dave.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It would be Kate's horse, the apparitions of Walt, and Hurley's Dave, plus it could explain the second polar bear--the one that attacked Walt. But that one might not be it--it might be Walt who brought like bear, like he brought the bird in Australia.
I think it would be really cool if the monster could get in people's heads and make them see things that they were thinking about.

so it could be a dementor like monster that senses what is in your mind? interesting
