QWhere did the Arctic predator come from?
ADr Hasslein theorizes that, because the creature is basically composed of deuterium, also known as 'heavy hydrogen,' it may have originated on Jupiter or some other gas giant planet where deuterium abounds. It looks like chunks of ice and icicles fitted together in a vaguely bipedal form. Viewers have occasionally referred to the creature as looking like 'Jack Frost's evil twin.' A photo of the Arctic pedator can be seen here.
ADr Hasslein succeeds in forcing the creature to decompress from its vapor form into its ice form. After saying goodbye to Sedna, Ross uses the tunnel drill to force the creature into the tunnel and pin it against the wall. He then blows up the tunnel entrance, sealing himself and the creature 300 feet below the icy surface. Assuming that he has maybe an hour before he either freezes to death or runs out of oxygen, Ross makes a last entry in Parry's diary, ending up with, 'I have one final hope...that no one will ever read this.' Back on the Outpost, Sedna, Gates, and Shayla await transport and agree that no one can know about what happened, lest someone else come looking for the Fury.
QIf the creature is an ice monster, why is it going after sources of heat, like fire and humans?
ADr Hasslein theorizes that, in its natural state, the creature may exist as a gaseous being, much like fog or even invisbile vapor. Forced to take on ice form in the cold Arctic temperatures, it is seeking a way to 'melt' itself in order to get back into its natural state.
