Really makes you thonk.
Which raises the obvious question of what other plane contains these beings that inspired Kuribu. There's no Light equivalent to the Void, either now or ever (since the Flood of Light just cleanses everything into nothingness). And of the Thirteen Shards, only the Thirteenth's "story" has ended (at least for now); presumably the other Shards are still going, and thus look more or less like the Source, give or take several major events. (As in they're probably going to be populated by Hyur and Elezen and so on, rather than particle nanites or energy beings or whatnot.)

So we could be looking at some other completely different set of dimensions that conveniently has nothing to do with Hydaelyn or the Shards, but is still close enough for the devs to pull critters out of for us to fight. Or at least one of the other Shards is weirder than we thought, even though it has not fallen to either Darkness or Light. Maybe it's a Voidsent who figured out a trick using spotlights and scenery angles.

Or maybe it's just another forgotten Allagan chimera. Because everything is Allagans.
