Theory: The Monster is the Dahaka

DISCLAIMER: This post and the one below it are not April Fool's. Bad timing I guess.

It may sound crazy, but this is a theory that me and my Lost friends discuss regularly and could see happening. Don't worry, it's only brief, but please feel free to discuss it.

If you've ever played Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within, you will know what the Dahaka is. If not, hopefully I can explain it well. The Dahaka acts as a guardian of the timeline, and only appears if something has gone wrong with it and then tries to correct it. During the time of the first new Prince Of Persia game, The Prince messes up the timeline by making himself have the Dagger Of Time before he actually has it on the real timeline in order to undo the mess he caused, but there are still strands of fate and time that are left and the Dahaka then manifests and tries to destroy The Prince to rectify it.

The Monster also operates on a similar system.
The Monster is an embodiment of fate much like the Dahaka ensuring that the universe course corrects and that the timeline flows as it should. Some examples can be seen, such as where The Monster does not initially kill Eko for he still has a purpose to serve for The Monster but after Eko tells Yemi (who has been confirmed as The Monster) that he is not sorry for the things he has done this causes the timeline to be interrupted, and the way to correct it is by taking Eko out of the equation.

There are a lot more parts to this theory, but see what you think so far. There are some holes I know, but it's better than a lot of the theories I hear.
