I thought of something like that, just in a way so it doesn't seem paranormal. I thought that maybe the ghost leviathan WAS the skeleton creature, it just molts over time to extend its life, gradually changing size and appearance over time to adapt to changing climates.

After reading this, some of you may be thinking, "Well, then what does the tree have to do with any of this?" Well, if my theory is correct (and it probably isn't), the tree is probably just the creature's cocoon, and within, it's taking its next form.

I've read that the ghost will be fully implemented sometime AFTER the game is fully released. How could this contribute to the story in any way? Well, my guess is that the ghost leviathan is probably TERRIFIED of an adult sea emperor. The creature, while at a sea dragon-esque size at the time of the Precursors, could easily take on a juvenile emperor, but would be no match for a full grown adult. Once the last adult dies, the ghost will know it's safe to return to the world, and may even wish to kill off the remaining emperors, just so it can start laying its eggs again and rule 4546B for itself.

Do realize that this is just a theory and is probably very unlikely to happen. So do correct me if I'm wrong.
