Forum:Thorian created Reapers?

Just wondering if anyone else had similar thoughts:

The Thorian from Feros seems like a potential origin species for the Reapers. They have extremely long lifespans, with a similar behaviors. It would spend thousands of years in hibernation, then awake for "a few frantic centuries" of activity before resting again. Sound familiar? It also indoctrinates other sentient species for use as servants and warriors, while choosing to keep itself out of the fight.

It even calls itself the Old Growth, similar to the Reapers' title "The Old Machines".

We also know that it is a growth of biomass: who's to say it doesn't harvest thralls to grow or reproduce, like the reapers. The thorian creepers also look very similar to the statues on ilos; perhaps they're clones of the original protheans, while the collectors are only their heavily modified forms.

Psychologically speaking, the thorian seems identical to the Reapers. What better way to explain them than to say that they started out as a fungus, and are now merely flying mechanized mushrooms?
