Human-Reaper



The Human-Reaper is a new Reaper which was being created by the Collectors. Under the orders of Harbinger, the Collectors began abducting humans from colonies across the edge of the Terminus Systems and took them to the Collector base. There the abductees would be broken down into raw genetic material which was brought together to create the Human-Reaper. Since it used the material from tens of thousands of humans, it took on a human appearance.

When Commander Shepard discovered the Human-Reaper, it was an inactive larva. After destroying the pumps supporting the Reaper as well as funnelling the human genetic material into it, the Human-Reaper fell into a pit to its apparent destruction. However, it was able to activate and climb back up to engage Shepard and his team. They proceeded to destroy the Human-Reaper once and for all by damaging specific points on it.

Trivia

 * The Human-Reaper shares some visual similarities to the endoskeletons of Terminator units from the Terminator franchise, notably the head modelled like a human skull and the glowing eyes when active.
 * The sounds the Human-Reaper makes are very similar to those made by some of the Transformers in the two recent film adaptions.
