Any Thargoids in the flesh in Odyssey?

Now that Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is out and about, I’m wondering:

Has anyone found any Thargoids? As in, living Thargoid creatures in the flesh, and not just their ships and technology? There have been talks about an alleged “leak” from 2 years ago saying they will be a thing for this expansion, with more rumors saying there will be “Thargoid troops”.

But, I haven’t seen any discussion on that yet, presumably how new and recent it’s release is. I’m no Elite Dangerous player myself, so I can’t say very much on it. But, I am asking this out to be sure if that subject about living Thargoid creatures in the flesh is true.

I would bet on it that we will see lifeforms somewhere. because Odyssey is an FPS Expansions why wouldn´t they do that so I am curious what to find :)

I'm wondering myself, did they made Jaques in Colonia (he is a cyborg) ? I'll go heck out myself, but 22k ly is a lot.

If it exists, it will be time-gated, possibly after console release.

They did not, the bartender there is just a generic NPC and not Jaques, much like how you can't meet any of your Powerplay contacts.

PP contact I can understand. They are super duper important, and can't meet every commander. but Jaques ? Awww :(

If they do have thargoids they are going to be released behind a story arc and a big reveal somewhere down the line is my guess, as a big hype machine.

Keep in mind though everyone, that this "leak" that said about Thargoids in the flesh 2 years ago also stated that base building was also to be a thing to expect, only to have been disputed by Frontier themselves who, sometime shortly after the expansion's announcement last year, explicitly confirmed there was no such thing as base building in their laid out roadmap. Not to say they won't ever do it, but it wasn't planned at the end of the day for Odyssey.

On a more serious note, maybe we'll see them in the full release in autumn/winter

I'm confident that they have them somewhere in the trunk

Given that the leak got literally everything else correct, including a bunch of really specific things for Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo, and also the fact that the HTML of the MTX store once included a reference for customizations for "buildings", I'm pretty confident that the leak was accurate (at the time) and that base building was indeed planned. I do hope it makes its way back onto the roadmap at some point.

Leaks aren't always 100% accurate, and there are some other small inaccurate details that this wave of 2019 4Chan leaks shared, which is why I'm asking out if this particular thread's focused detail is true.

FD methods are pretty straightforward content such as new ships, skins, abilities (engineering) and mysteries (Thargoids on foot) are all seasons based and linked to the narrative; so don’t expect ‘everything’ being available on day 1. FD will drip feed these out over the next 3-6 months, this engages the audience in its ‘personal narrative’ structure (!?), but mainly maximises fiscal returns over a protracted time period.

I just visited the thargoid structures as so far the only thing new that I've discovered is that there's a new ambiance. I will also mention going into the center structure and then leaving for some reason made my ship's voice glitchy (not bug glitchy but in the same way your svr tells you when entering the center structure)
Update: there is something new and it killed me

The continuation of the Thargoid scene is currently the only thing I'm eager for with EDO, same with Guardians, not holding my breath, it is FDev after all, but I can dream.
