User blog comment:Tvirus1234/What if Javik isn't an actual Prothean?/@comment-1221773-20130522004710/@comment-72.50.49.197-20130804015039

True enough, just like the Batarians early look which got changed when Bring Down the Sky was released (they even had to change the Codex picture for the ME1 Codex along with it). Besides, I think people didn't bother reading the planet descriptions well enough. The Innusanon where at least one of the leading races before the Protheans, either earlier in their cycle (hence killed/absorbed by Protheans) or before them (hence being to them what the Protheans are to the Mass Effect galatic races). In fact, several planets have records of the Innusanon warring other races, and there was even one planet where a whole city is deserted and with a message to the "monsters of the id" (a reference to something else yeah but also valid in proving it wasn't a Prothean ruin as Protheans only feared Reapers, not unnamed "monsters"). As for why the Beacon shows you the tentacle statues in ME1, Bioware can easily chalk it up to the fact it's only showing you places and vague imagery. They only really show you the Ilos statues, hence the Beacon was telling youto "go to Ilos and find the Conduit".
