Methinks Odin could be a manifestation of Emperor Solus zos Galvus (or vice versa?)... and every full moon, ol' boy Solus needs to absorb aether to stay alive (like a vampire needs blood); so he goes into Odin mode for a bit of a snack. Sure, its an extremely wild theory but several of us had fun with these speculations a few months ago on the forums.

Mind you, its not just those crazy horns that both of them have... it's the fact that both he and Bahamut are regarded as "Elder" primals. The Garlean Emperor and his "mission" to purge the world of primals kinda sounds like he's trying to "consolidate" their essences to himself, innit? Perhaps that's how Elder primals evolve... remember how after Midgardsormr takes down the flagship Agrius, it seems like he splits off into several primals?

Still, something doesn't add up... but my other clue towards this theory was that the Emperor's two (best?) generals were the Raven (Nael) and the Wolf (Gaius)... and those two symbols are sacred to none other than the Odin from Norse mythology.

*Shrugs*... just saying.

This has been explained a little.

First and foremost, Midgarsormr is a king or guardian of wyrms/dragons, not a primal. Best guess is they keep growing with age, and it also represents their stature in dragonkin.

ANYWAYS, in the fight over silvertear falls, the great wyrm causes the ship to crash... the ceruleum which fuels the ship ignited, and killed Midgarsormr and anything nearby, but the explosion was concentrated over an ancient seal noone knew about at the center of the lake. When this seal was broken, the primals were set free.

Most likely this holds some relation to the crystal tower, and the tomb of Xandes I is near both of these elements of Mor Dhona. HOW close, or any overlap, is still unknown.
