Yeah, the first one looks almost exactly like a human husk. Prothy resembles a Collector, don't know exactly why they changed. I think they wanted to get away from the human husk look. They should make something that resembled both, but makes more sense they looking like well, anything out of human husks and more like the Collectors.
Someone explain the Prothean look. . . .please

It's...an explanation, but really? is it an satisfactory explanation or thinly veiled retcon?Redditaur wrote...
The top tenticle alien-statue is a race that pre-ceeds the protheans. They aren't the protheans. The second image is a Collector. And the bottom is a Prothean. The reapers enslaved and heavily transformed/mutated the protheans into Collectors. "Prothy" is a true Prothean.

A lot of confusion over those statues. But hey we built over prothean stuff too. They just built over the race that was before them.

the first one is a husk, the second is a collector ie heavily genetically engineered to the point where it is no longer a prothean - Gabey5
(Sorry I dunno how to properly repost a previous entry)
I agree with Gabey5, the first one is definitely a husk, not a Prothean.

in mass effect 2, there's a mission which you find another prothean artifact. With it, you see the same visions you did in 1 but this time you see the people running away clearer, and they look exactly like collectors. now, these don't look anything like the squadmate one, but it wouldn't put it past "superior genetic solider" for this guy.

I'm not sure we could consider the statues as canon Prothean's look.
What would an alien think of humans if he only saw statues by Fernando Botero or Alberto Giacometti.

I don't remember this ever being stated to be a Prothean...
It's from the ME2 Codex, and the statues on Ilos.
What I get for not memorizing the codex. I do wonder if perhaps that's a husk not of an actual Prothean but of some other race in the prothean empire.

There is also an explanation to this question in the leaked script. But I'm not going to say, but yes it is explanied and it does make sence.

Pure retcon, the book "Art of Mass Effect" blatantly says that. Then gives a complete BS made up on the spot "explanation".

Look at the galaxy now. Asari, Turian, Salarian, Human and so on. Do you honesty think the Prothean was a single species.

simple answer is retcon, for better or worse that's what it is.
As for the codex issue, isn't the Codex supposed to be something that exists in the Mass Effect universe, meaning that it is fallible. For example wasn't Sovereign labeled a Geth Dreadnaught in ME2's codex? Is it hard to accept that the Prothean article was also innacurate?

The in-game husks are human, but in the visions they're also shown as looking like this.

So it does get explain and that I am fine with that. . . I never considered that the top pic maybe another race that pre - dated the protheans . . . hell the top pic could even be the the reapers look before they became what we know now as the ship / reapers

Some people in the Mass Effect universe may have thought the Protheans looked like the "tentacle beard". But they had no proof of it. So the change is really insignificant.blindchaos wrote...

Judging from the dialog responses to Prothy in the demo, most people see him and have no idea he is a Prothean. It's not really common knowledge when a race went extinct 50,000 years ago and the Reapers tried to surpress their existence. What do you expect?
