![]() The core of any Reaper is constructed in the image of the species that was harvested to create it, while the exterior follows a standardized design that is most efficient for their purpose. Colossal in size, Reapers are known to range from 160 meters to over 2 kilometers in length. The rear-most of the larger legs have crescent-shaped extensions. In terms of physical design, Reapers bear superficial resemblance to a cuttlefish or squid, with a bulky semi-cylindrical body, a tapering plate over the rear and five tentacle-like "legs" or arms extending from its front end, in addition to six jointed legs extending from its body. These massive constructs exist so that any intelligent life in the galaxy would eventually discover them and base their technology upon them – all part of a scheme to harvest the galaxy’s sentient life in a repeating cycle of purges that has continued relentlessly over countless millennia.Ī Reaper is essentially "billions of organic minds, uploaded and conjoined within immortal machine bodies." The Reapers are the original creators of the Citadel and the mass relay network. In the end, the Reapers spare little concern for whatever labels other races choose to call them, and merely claim that they have neither beginning nor end. ![]() "Reapers" was a name bestowed by the Protheans, the previous galactic power fifty thousand years before, and the geth refer to them as the Old Machines. These giant machines are ancient their true name is unknown. They hibernate there, dormant for fifty thousand years at a time, before returning to the galaxy. The Reapers reside in dark space: the vast, mostly starless space between galaxies. According to the wiki (unofficial), all that’s required for a creature to be placed in the category is for it to be really big.The Reapers are a highly-advanced machine race of synthetic-organic starships. I just wanted to explain something I thought of and found interesting from me looking up what the hell Leviathan actually means. They are Leviathans because the devs say so and it’s their game. Note: Just to clarify: This is my opinion, I don’t think they fit the bill for what I think a Leviathan should be. ![]() So, because it’s size doesn’t compare to other Leviathans, and because it’s a snack for another Leviathan, in my opinion, the Reapers aren’t actually Leviathans. There are 2 more in the ALZ if I remember correctly but still, this means that it’s not very uncommon for the Dragon to get himself a meal from the surface. The Reaper is sometimes dinner for the twice as large Sea Dragon which sometimes takes a trip up the LR, and drags a Reaper down to the ILZ.Īnd remember, there is 1 Sea Dragon in the ILZ. In the Inactive Lava Zone you find I think there are 4 Repear Leviathan skeletons. BUT IT ISN’T EVEN AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN And the Sea Emperor is dwarfed by the Gargantuan Skeleton found in the LR which is around 1000m.Īnyways, compared to it’s diet of small fish, stalkers and bone/sandsharks it’s pretty massive. It’s half the size of an adult Ghost Leviathan, and the Sea Emperor is beetween 3 or 4 times bigger. ![]() OK, so is the Reaper huge? Yeah, but, relative to others? No. ![]() Now, the term leviathan could be interpreted in many ways, combining a few definitions, this is what I found best describe them: Huge ocean monster that is the top of its food chain. ![]()
