![]() ![]() All their knowledge and experiences gone. I'd imagine that everytime shepard kills a reaper, in a weird way he's actually extinguishing the last remaining evidence of some long forgotten race. They move in, kill advances races so they don't inadvertently sterilize the galaxy of all life by making AI and then preserve that race by creating a reaper in their image. Their goals are different from organic life goals. They already consider themselves apex evolutionary species and don't need the resources. Yeah, but they're main goal is to preserve life in general, not really to amass resources or claim planets. Is it an inconsistency in the lore, or did I miss something? Why isn't there a giant Prothean Reaper? What about the thousands of races that came before them? Shouldn't every Reaper be unique, representing the race they were built from? Which fits with the lore as I understand it.īut then why do all Reapers look the same? There's pretty much just two: The big flying tentacle guys, and the relatively smaller destroyers (like the one on Rannoch). The first, Harbinger, looks very similar to the race that created it, the Leviathans.Īs we see at the end of Mass Effect 2, the Reaper that is being created from processed humans looks like a big robot human. In this way, the race is "preserved" before they are wiped out (by the Reapers or by their own wayward AI), to make room for the next race. My understanding is that during each extinction cycle, the dominant race is harvested and processed to create a new Reaper, one that houses the essence of that race. So, I admit my knowledge may be limited, so please correct me if I'm confused.

Reapers were made from the harvested races but that they were all based on the crustacean-like design of Harbinger, which in turn resembled the Leviathans. I'm guessing that the real answer here is "because the writers changed their minds," but is there an in-universe reason for why the proto-Reaper at the end of Mass Effect 2 actually LOOKED human?
