Lavos, Origin, Purpose, Lifecycle and Motivation

[ryu planeswalker]

Well, Lavos would work similar to how the real life meteors did. On past impacts, most life has perished, and with such conditions, new forms of life propagated.

This would be my theory on what Lavoids Exactly do, assuming 2300 was the absolute worse conditions there were, its entirely possible that simple bacteria in the very least would be able to survive long enough to re-evolve, there didn't seem to be anything that wouldn't fix itself in theory since our planet was much worse off as it was forming than it was Post-Lavoid attack.

Even Mother Brain stated that the world would recover. Call her insane, but she's a supercomputer. Our real planet has gone through similar catastrophic patterns and made it. Lavos seemed like a being of purpose to me, and i don't think meaningless destruction was its goal. Consider him a Galactus.

with talk of lavos creating humanity i can't help but thing of meeting your maker. literally. by sense you could assume lavos is some kind of higher power. you could assume the meaning of human life to pass on your gene. unnatural selection to breed the highest form of humanity. for our dear creator to take in?  is the meaning of lavos to spawn a higher being?  "we were created to be harvested" by magus

except that Humanity was coming into being before Lavos fell, and if he were purposed with creating a higher being why did he wipe earth clean.

[Celdine]

To create a safe place to raise the lavoids most likely.

[ryu planeswalker]

Yes but the Lavos Spawns we have seen are likely able to fend for themselves against most anything  Humanity can shell out.

[Celdine]

Not likely, even if most humans couldn't fight them in hand to hand combat, technology was advanced enough at that time that humans could be a threat (think robo, grobyc). That view of lavos's behavior is also assuming that lavos is sentinent.

It wouldn't be that much of a stretch that lavos could have evolved with this as an instinct. That whenever a lavos is ready to birth lavoids, that it clears life on the surface to give its broodlings the highest chance of surviving to fly off to other planets.
