So after seeing some interesting comments on the latest community spotlight, I have a rather frightening theory.
The Traveler is merely a spherical space craft for a powerful space tiger. You heard right.
The Traveler = A TIGER.
Proof, you say?
1. As most of us should know, the original project title for Destiny was Tiger.
2. "A 'random' tiger tail in the center of the 20 years of Bungie artwork, a tiger in the Deej letter videos and now a huge cat collage of the Destiny traveller wallpaper... Something is going on here... And I bet that it's related to tigers and destiny...." - Joen in the latest articles comment section.
Two reasons seems plenty enough evidence for me, so there you are.
Theory: During the early space-faring days of man, a tiger was jettisoned into space. He floated through the cosmos contemplating his own felinity, when he became awashed in gamma radiation Hulk-style. The jumbo-sized jungle cat was bestowed with magical powers and knowledge exceeding anything that humanity had ever dreamed of. He landed on a faraway planet and forged himself a large chrome spherical craft with which he could return to Earth. Out of thankfulness for the great gift he had been given, he bestowed mankind with a fraction of his knowledge and technological bounty ushering them into their Golden Age bringing us to the Destiny timeline. Pretty neat, eh?
I, for one, welcome my new striped feline overlord. Do you?

If anyone has played Silent Hill 2, I liken this to the infamous "Dog Ending" only you replace the word dog with tiger.

I see where you get this from. But...this just wouldn't be cool. A tiger that would be the most boring climax ever (To me). I just hope we never are able to know exactly what the thing is ever. Mystery is what added to Halo's story.

Atleast this theory is better as discovering after 10 years of playing destiny, my character just woke form a terrible nightmare and is 10 minutes late for work.. AND He missed his bus awell..

A great way to end the game would be to have the orb-thing open, and you look inside...and promptly get your head blasted off, without ever seeing what was in the ship. And then the Traveler destroys the world. The end!

Maybe all those things are just references to Destiny's code name.

Personally, I find the idea of finding a lone tiger in the middle of a massive antechamber in the middle of the Traveler pretty freakin' sweet.
