Smoke Creature and Monster: One and the Same
Q. People also want to know what happened to that thing that ate the pilot in the, um, pilot.
A. Cuse: That was the monster. He wasn’t really devoured. When we saw Greg Grunberg he was hanging 70 feet in the air on a tree branch. He was dead, but he wasn’t swallowed. The smoke creature and the monster are one and the same.
** I guess this ends the speculation. I wondered last season if there were actually two monsters, a good and a bad, a black and white if you will. We hear the noises in the woods and then we see this black smoke. Appears that the smoke has been making all this ruckus.
