playing around with the idea that Luther's body-snatching works in the same way as his attempted absorption of Xion in Ep. 2, but on a smaller scale, where he gains whatever knowledge that person had. also perhaps his body hopping not only serves as a means of survival, but is necessary research into eventually absorbing something on the scale of an omniscient being.
The Amduskia Draconians are a race created by Photoners and presumably at the time of PSO2 Ep 1, no one would have known more about them than Luther himself. Yet the Artificial Draconian Project (led? by Casra and Aki) being hiijacked for Luther's purposes suggests they discovered something that Luther was unaware of--not impossible, of course, given that evolution is a thing, and perhaps the creation of Amduskia wasn't really in Luther's area of study as Photoner, so while he may have known more than anyone else on Oracle, it wasn't all encompassing.
this is a very long winded way to say that Casra's approach to research leads him to insights that have eluded Luther for centuries, which would make him an even more appealing candidate as Luther's vessel. It could also explain why Luther seems so keen on using Casra I's body, specifically--not only does he take over the first, Luther planned to mass produce copies of him, essentially making Casra I his "permanent" body--something he doesn't appear to have done before.
anyway i assume Luther always portrayed his eventual body-snatching of Casra II as something good and desirable for both of them, i.e. "Of course Casra would want his existence absorbed into mine, what greater fate could there be???" which would make Casra's suffering even more exquisite. you're welcome 😌
