    Default Most absurd possible idea that might be true

    I think this one will be hard to top in the "Incredibly Unlikely But Might Be True" department:

    Kraagor is alive and hanging out with his pal, the Snarl, moving mountains together, making him the happiest dwarf that ever lived.

    Kraagor is really the snarl, who has learned to create a mortal form!

    After he lost his first mortal form, the snarl created another form. Or as we know, banjo

    This is my favorite crazy OotS theory. I didn't make it up, nor do I believe it:

    Girard is Haley and Elan's time-traveling son.

    He has hair strands similar to Elan, Nale and Tarquin.
    His hair is red.
    Like Elan, he uses illusions.
    Like Haley, he has trust issues. (She got over them. It doesn't seem that he has.)

    Coincidence? Probably, but it's still fun to think about.

    Kraagor was the first mortal the Snarl ever killed, but as the Snarl snuffed out his life, it experienced all of Kraagor's memories, hopes and despairs. Realizing the depth of the destruction it had caused, the Snarl reflected on its nature and decided to abandon the chaos and strife that defined it, by creating instead of destroying, resulting in the world inside the gate.

    This also means that Xykon will be undone when the Snarl makes it very clear that it doesn't want to be appropriated to conquer the world.

    You must be new 'round these parts 'cause on these forums that's not even in the top 50 craziest theories about oots.

    That said, I still see no idea how it can be true.

    Why would they not count? the Snarl wasn`t changed when he got trapped except for the possibility he became eve more hostile by being trapped for so many years.

    Edit: also, the world was undone, how could anyone survive? There is no way there was a descendant from the first world. And if there was what makes the people of the first world so different that makes the Snarl not feel their memories and despair Like you claim Kraagor did?

    He's Elan and Haley's multidimensional time-traveling father. "Ian Starshine" and "General Tarquin" are just two aspects of a being whose true form is beyond mortal comprehension.

    in all reality there is nothing but the snarl, he is just trying to understand existence itself by creating "reality" as we know it. which means elan, roy, the gods, banjo, everything is truly the snarl :D

    -The world-within-the-world is actually the Dragon continuity. Why else would that not be an option in the stickied poll?!
    -The "final boss" is Nale, who absorbs the power of the Snarl, becomes a blond angelic being (Why else would Elan dress up like Locke?), complete with Snarl-coloured wings and a goatee drawn with crayon. Plus, the first major villain they fought has to be the last one! Eith that or vampiric Trigak.

    Time Travel Girard is my favorite definitely-not-going-to-happen theory, too. Don't forget that Girard has a ponytail (like Haley) and sometimes sports a goatee (which is obviously in Elan's gene pool)!

    Don't be ridiculous. Girard is clearly Elan and Haley's GRANDSON
    Their son is Nale, who killed Elan's real brother years ago and took his place.

    All other theories hold true with this, including the ones that directly contradict each other - what we think are 'humans' are actually just ancient timelords.

    The Girard theories are all pretty cool. But I like martianmister's version as being both totally absurd, and actually possible.

    The planet within the Snarl was created by the Snarl itself. The Gates 'civilized it' to the point where it wanted to create it's own world. That's why it hasn't tried to escape the open rifts.
