Damn! That’s a cool and plausible theory.  
Imagine if those aliens were follow-up enemies after defeating Lavos.

@Beau Skunky  
Yeah, most creatures usually aren’t the only of their species (unless they’re the last one), and I don’t think too many would be capable of defending their planet from a creature that spends aeons slowly sucking the life out of it.

@Background Pony #06DE  
And there might be more Lavos out there too, given Lavos Spawn enemies.

@KillerKid86  
He’s probably destroyed dozens or more before he ever came to Earth.

…  
Twilight, he almost destroyed an entire planet.  
Hell, in one timeline he did.

UUUUUREEEEEEE_EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!_

I think the “twilight justifies evil meme” tag is misplaced here. Lavos is not evil. Sure, it destroys planets; but it is merely feeding. It has a right to live just like anything else. It is an unfortunate fact of life that many, if not all, living creatures must at some point kill another in order to maintain its existence.

@coldnar  
We have all done silly things for the lolz.
 
Lavos is a planet eating parasite. Like a parasprite but with planets.

Lady, that is the worst one yet. That guy killed a planet. Next your gonna say Kefka was right cuas he did it for the lols.

Lavos doesn’t have friends.

@Prof.NightJack  

 
True enough. But the theory’s been stuck in my head for long enough I think I started treating it that way.

@Bardic_Knowledge  
Theory =/= fact.

@Beau Skunky
 
@Prof.NightJack  
Actually, I got it from here.

@Beau Skunky  
I think he’s mixing Lavos with another creature for somthing else that does that, “The Great One” from Ben 10 come to mind but it was said to make planets implode, but I do remember once seeing something doing that, Lavos leaves a planet as more of a husk.

@Bardic_Knowledge  

 
I think you made up that part. It seems they just leave the planet, and it’s remaining creatures/people to slowly “die” after all that instead.

Lavos wasn’t hungry. It was a device being sent throughout the worlds to mold and absorb the DNA of planets, then when its job was complete, it would create spawn to continue the cycle then explode the planet to send them on their way.
 
I actually had a minor fanfic idea where Lavos was the creation of a species that wanted to become the most perfect beings in the universe by blending together the DNA of everything, and by the time they figured out that their probes were destroying the planets they were sent to, they didn’t care anymore. However, the destruction of one of their probes (Lavos itself) caused an alarm that sent them into action to attack the planet where it happened. Fortunately, thanks to time travel, the people of that world could learn they were coming and send a message back in time to prepare for them.

@Jarkes  
In the fight, yes, outside of the game when trying to show his true form but showing this it doesn’t work.

@Beau Skunky
 
Wasn’t that the whole point, though?

@Prof.NightJack  
True, I admit that one really fooled me.

@Prof.NightJack
 
Dang it, you’re right. I should have thought of that.

No he didn’t he’s just the dummy body used to try and fool you, you got the wrong one there.  
Why do some people use the Center Pod alone for Lavos sometime, he’s the one on the right, the Lavos Core, that is really him.

Yeah, travel from planet to planet as a parasitic god, shaping living being’s dna to be as perfect and powerful as possible to then consume the planet and its inhabitants and repeating the process by sending it’s spawn in meteors to other planets, ultimately destroying all life in the universe.
