Just after being shocked by the revelation that the Protheans are the Collectors, Shepard burst into the Collector base to find himself right smack in the middle of another one of Mass Effect's shocking moments: The Collectors were abducting humans to create an entirely new Reaper. Worse yet, Reapers tend to resemble the race who's raw material is being used to create it. What does that mean exactly?
Shepard soon found out, as he came face to face with a mechanized beast that resembled a human skeleton. The human Reaper was in its larva form when Shepard and his team woke it up, so its organic innards were exposed, adding a even more disturbing feeling to the monstrosity.
