With a high Oxygen content.

There is a theory that before the extinction of the dinosaurs the earths atmospheric pressure was 4 times that of the current atmosphere. It also is assumed that the oxygen content on earth was at aproxiamtely 35% of the total make up of breathable air. These 2 changes in the atmosphere are said to have been the reason for extremely large animals and insects. (ie. Dragonflys w/ a 3 foot wingspan).

Also living in the suggested atmosphere would actually cause a human to grow larger and heal faster (similar to that of a hyperbaric Oxygen chamber).

Is it possible then that the "creature" has lived on the island and the island its self is under a different kind of atmoshperic makeup.

Just a thought?

What would this atmospheric pressure do to the people that just arrived?

Spontaneously heal them in case they were quadriplegic? :x
OK, I might need to go to bed now...

[edit: because, you see, here in Germany it is two o'clock in the morning, and I think I really need some sleep, or I might start talking crazy]

JacksGirl: I don't think you officially need to join the club, it's more like "you fit the profile, you're in". Kind of like a genetic predisposition for smart-assedness. Well, count me in :p

How's this high atmospheric pressure contained to the island and surroundings?
