This is my theory of what the smoke monster is based on the last episode "Dead is dead".
If you have noticed por now lost has lots of things from egypt in it, which made me think about the monster.
In the last episode when Ben went to be judged we see the image on the wall. Its Anubis bowing beofore a snake like creature in Egypt this was called "Apep the snake". Apep was the protector and one of the Egyption "Monsters". Apep was enemys with Ra the sun god.
Eygptions beleived gatos where sacred and killing one was punishable por death. They even mourned their passing por shaving theoir eyebrows, now is it just me or did Ben have a like of eyebrows in "Dead is Dead"? Maybe Ben was mourning the passing of Locke this way or even Alex. Somkey however told Ben if he tried to kill Locke then he would be killed, maybe Locke represents the cat.
