The Great Unknown, the sugar bowl, and the Quaqumire triplets
This theory has been updated. Follow the link below.
But read the text below even so, because it contains important considerations.
To understand this text, you will need to read at least this one here.
I will not write a long text showing that the Great Unknown is a marine beast. I'm sure many others have already done this. My mentor, Nirfrido, has an exeptional explanatory video on youtube, for those who understand Portuguese. For most Brazilian fans of ASOUE, this is a fact. It is true that the expression "the great unknown" was also used by Lemony to portray death, or unknown events. But what the Baudelaires saw on Queequeg's radar was made of matter and capable of reflecting sound waves.
Well, I'm going to transcribe here a passage that first shows that the Quaqumires survived the TGU attack. Lemony records in chapter 8 of TE events after the arrival of Kit to Island. If you understood my sugar bowls theory, you will understand what Lemony was talking about:
TE chapter 8:
"The children traveled in the dark, just as many other people had done before them, from the nomadic travels of the Cimmerians to the desperate voyages of the Quagmire triplets, who at that very moment were in circumstances just as dark although quite a bit damper than the Baudelaires', and as the children drew closer and closer to the island that had abandoned them ... "
So the Quagmire triplets were alive after the TGU attack. But despite that, they were in a dark and very wet place. Now, do not you agree that the mouth of a Huge Marine Beast fits that description perfectly? But this Marine Beast could only have swallowed the triplets and still kept them alive if the beast was controlled by anyone.
