I think it all has to do with the tomb in Peru, after all, that's where the stone was first discovered, maybe it was another gateway to Avalon/Atlantis.

I read a book once about the similarities between the modern day UFO mythology and the old Faerie mythology (including Avalon). And one of the myths discussed was from South America and involved black spirits (I forget their names), dark creatures that came from the land of the faeries and stole humans to take back with them.

I always think of this creature as being one of these kidnappers. Almost like a foot-soldier or a robot/machine doing the bidding of others.

And if it is, maybe it will know how to get Lara over there...

It'll be interesting to see what their explanation is, that is if we do get an explanation at the end.

Borrowing Aussie's picture...



As a side issue. Is it just me or is this creature unscary? I mean, I know it's meant to be terrifying... but it isn't, it's just so cartoony.

Natla's a bit more fearsome, I don't know why, she just is. But again... not really hitting the mark for me.

Anyone else or is it just me? I really hope the next gen graphics and other effects make a difference in this way.

I think Fluffy was just sad because he wanted a proper body and outfit !

Blackmoor,I think the same. It wasn't scary,original,fearsome or even hard to fight.

You just had to jump like crazy and the trick was done.

I didn't find him scary either. Just kind of amusing. Especially the way he'd swipe at Lara and trip her up, then just float away. I think that he's scarier in Peru because you can't see him clearly.

Alas poor fluffy, he is only a torso, no legs.

Who do we know who had a similar accident

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7Qualopec4.jpg

And has similar glowing yellow eyes, and hangs out in Peru.

Maybe it is just coincidence that they both have yellow glowing eyes, and half a body. Maybe fluffy is some other Atlantean who met a similar fate. There is after all still someone missing and unaccounted for.

Natla is likely alive here, and fluffy is dead, a mere shadow of his former self, but is there perhaps a family resemblance?

Ooooooh. Good idea, I hadn't thought of that before!!

But wouldn't it be a bit of a coincidence for Lara to randomly have stumbled across Qualopec AGAIN? Unless he was searching for her ... hmm ...
