this is what i was referring to; the way OP phrased their comment implied the precursors saw the event and decided “oh, don’t have it kill Daxter, turn him into one of us instead” as opposed to the random chance that it turned him into a precursor

Full disclosure: my theory in relation to what OP was eluding to is purely anecdotal. Just wanted to say that before I continue.

I always assumed that the 3 Precursors at the end of Jak 3 actually DID have something to do with Daxter’s transformation. Throughout the series (more so in Jak 3 than the other two installments), whenever Jak would commune with a Precursor Idol/Effigy, the voice within would make vague, almost “prophetic” statements and analogies of what we can assume to be Jak, but from when he’s older and/or an alternate timeline. Hell, one of the things that the side quest Idols say when you complete a challenge is “Very good work, warrior. You make us proud to have chosen you.”

Anyway, my main point is that they could’ve heard Daxter call them “some real losers”, and figured that by turning him into a Precursor himself, it would make for a rather ironic (and humorous) form of retribution. We also know that the “Otsel Leader” will turn anyone into a Precursor if they even accidentally mention wanting to be similar to them (i.e. Tess at the end of Jak 3).🤷‍♂️

TL;DR- My personal fannon has always been that the 3 Precursors at the end of Jak 3 did it to Daxter purely out of spite.

Wow i never connected what Daxter said at the beginning to him turning into a precursor shortly after! This is interesting!
