In updating the original thread I passed the characters limit, so I'm going to post our expansions of [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_The-Dark-Army-Clues-amp-Theories-Pt-1/en-us/Forum/Post?id=60433626]my original theory of the 5th Race[/url] and new information on this thread as they come up, and try to keep them short. Updates will be in order of newest to oldest. ________________________________________ - Just a thought: what if the "Glimmer" is a single entity, a legion of sorts? In the moodboard, Race 5's panel shows only one enemy figure, maybe in association with the smoke itself. Recall that one enemy silhouette is also shown in the "heart of the fortress" in the Moon, as well. Perhaps the Glimmer, as some others have suggested, IS the smoke. And maybe [url=http://s434.photobucket.com/user/Warghost650/media/Destiny%20Concept%20Art/unkconcept4.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0]this guy[/url] is the manifest physical form conceived by the Smoke/Glimmer. Imagine the silhouette figure teleporting behind the Guardian once he gets a look at him, leaving glimmering trails of smoke and shadow in its place (Slenderman in space--Oh God help us all). If this theory is true, the Glimmer could also likely make an army of image copies of itself. - The smoke, supernatural light, and zombie-like march of the [url=http://www.bungie.net/pubassets/1147/dark_patrol_desk.jpg]eerie Fallen and Cabal walking together in the Dark Patrol concept image[/url] has lead some to suggest that the Glimmer may be mind-controlling enemies, or possibly even shape-shifters. - I took some screenshots from a few of those super quick frames from the character development video from the conference. These concepts appear to resemble the floating creature on the moodboard: [url=http://s434.photobucket.com/user/Warghost650/media/Destiny%20Concept%20Art/unkconcept4.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0]Unknown creature #1[/url] - possible Glimmer? SmithsRevenge pointed out that this same approximate stance seems to be the shape of a [url=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130330083053/destinypedia/images/3/32/Hellmouth_Fortress.jpg]sihouetted figure in the middle of this image in the Moon fortress[/url]. It's small, but you can see him right below the large orb being constructed in the center.

It draws hints from the moodboard. [url=http://s434.photobucket.com/user/Warghost650/media/Destiny%20Concept%20Art/unkconcept4.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0#/user/Warghost650/media/Destiny%20Concept%20Art/unkconcept2.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2&_suid=136867795723308091049621457516]#3[/url] - totally unknown species. Lightly colored face might represent Glimmer concept from moodboard [url=http://s434.photobucket.com/user/Warghost650/media/Destiny%20Concept%20Art/unkconcept4.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0#/user/Warghost650/media/Destiny%20Concept%20Art/unkenemy.jpg.html?sort=3&o=4&_suid=136867795723308091049621457516]#4[/url] - This is a very different look and less likely as it doesn't quite look like the creature on the moodboard, but we don't know what this creature is and it appears to have an onyxy sword and look quite powerful and sinister. Any relation? Could this be an army being built by the Glimmer? It may be a Fallen type, but it looks more brutish and has only two arms. - Unknown pointed out that Bungie [url=http://destinynews.net/tag/destiny-glimmer/]trademarked 5 terms[/url] at the same time. Vex, Fallen, Cabal, Hive, and Glimmer. The definition of the word "glimmer" fits for this race.
