In an recent interview of Paul Dini, the writer of the character, Locke, Dini talked about how he developed Locke's back story, what he based his character on, and Locke's encounter with the "monster". He said:
"....Locke was based off of the real life philosopher
John Locke... Locke [IS] a strategist. He likes the thrill of the hunt and comes to see things like the game he played in episode ..."Walkabout".
When asked if it was a coincidence that Locke seemed to be around at a character's key moment Paul stated that Locke just seems to be an opportunist. He apparently is not good or evil, however, he may play a given situation either way to gain an advantage. It was also said that the monster
is sort of a reflection of yourself. The pilot saw it in horror and he was killed because he feared the monster. Locke saw the monster with true awe, therefore, he was able to survive his encounter.
The monster itself may not be revealed totally at any point in the series. It may be, as Paul described it, "a Loch Ness Monster kind of thing". Bits and pieces of the beast will be shown throughout the series but a full reveal could prove to be anti-climatic. Still the monster will be explained at some point in future seasons.
