Anyone else notice that we never see non-alien based husks? Why not Krogan husks?

I think this might have something to do with the Collectors' motives.

[dtye]

Wow... really good question! Never really thought about it until just now. A Krogan husk would suck to run across... ME3 maybe?

[Xivai]

Astounding intellect has blown me away. No wai... you figured that out?



There are hints humans may have been tampered with by some alien species awhile back. It might make us suitable for... I don't know. Experiments of some kind like you said. We have no idea if they did it to all alien races, or just us.

[GnusmasTHX]

... The Collector's are taking humans FOR making husks. It's natural to assume that the husks found are human.



Basically your question is "Why humans?" Which is what everyone is already wondering, seeing as how it's the main plot point of ME2.



(As for ME1, it just so happens you only visit human colonies and settlements.)

[Sialboats]

I think this might have something to do with the dev team's original laziness...

[IrishSpectre257]

We did fight a Turian husk.

[TCBC_Freak]

Because the Geth are at war with humans and they make husks. Whether or not they do it with Reaper tech or what is unknown but they do it. The Collectors steal people but the Geth make them into berserkers with those dragon's fang (or was it talon?) things. Codex baby; got to love it.

[Medhia Nox]

Also, we only really saw Husks on Human colonies if I recall the game correctly.

Where did you hear the Collectors are making husks? I never heard or saw that. We don't know why they are taking human's that's part of the point of the game trying to find out what they are doing with the humans they take.

Plot railroading. Making husks basically humans only makes the plot work better, as if you decide to make your character xenophobic you wouldn't care all that much otherwise. I am sure there will be some genetic reason made up but that is it basically.

Yes. The Collectors are abducting humans, and the Reapers are making husks. People have assumed these are related, but that is not confirmed.

SPOILERS
























Seriously you guys? Isn't it entirely obvious with husks appearing ALL OVER the Collector ships? Working ALONGSIDE Collector's? And so on and so forth:



Link does it work; damn this forum; google "Enemies of Mass Effect 2.

Collector's take people. Husks come out. How is it any different (and harder to believe) than the situation with geth making husks with allegedly Reaper technology? 

So yes; it's fairly obvious that Collector's are taking humans to be turned into husks. Whether or not they do it themselves or by some other proxy like the Dragon's Teeth in ME1, or maybe another actual Reaper, is irrelevant, we know the REASON why they're abducting people.

Are you serious?

Husks on the collector ship?

Husks flying around when the Collector is looking at the paralyzed colonist?

Husks walking behind the Collector's?

You should try and watch it again. And this time with your eyes open.

Humans go IN to the Collector ship. Husks come OUT. Doesn't take a genius to find out there's some serious hanky panky going on in there.

But Shepard is trying to rescue the people taken. If they are all being turned into husks then he wouldn't be able to save them. And in the Sy vs. Fy video's you see that it's actually highly unlikely that they are turning all the people they take into husk. True maybe they just turn some into husks but still this is all conjecture, an assumption. And in fact, you might laugh at me, but as far as I know (having not read the book) it still hasn’t been *confirmed* the collector’s and reapers are working together. It’s just assumed.

[GnusmasTHX]

Obviously they can't turn a thousand people into husks in the blink of an eye. He can still rescue them, or at least find out where they're going and why they're being taken. And I realize huskifying them is probably not the only reason they're abducting people, but it probably is the main reason. Seeing as how they're getting so creative with the process.

Shepard isn't privy to the spoilerific videos given to us by the team and marketing.

The Dragon's Teeth (the spikes that turn organics into husks) are far older than either the Geth or Humanity. So clearly they couldn't have been designed strictly for humans. They might be a reaper tool that predated indoctrination, an earlier and less advanced attempt to control organics, or they might belong to another as yet unknown species. The Collectors seem to use them, but the Collectors (as their name implies) tend to pick up technology from other species. It's doubtful they invented it, although they may have improved upon it (new more dangerous husks).



It is interesting that we only see human husks (saren wasn't a husk, he was given reaper implants. Husks are mindless automatons with little combat ability.) but it's possible we never saw alien husks because the Geth mostly attacked human colonies. It could also be a unique genetic trait that allows the process to work, which would explain the Collectors' interest in human genetics.

[simo2003]

I thought that Saren was supposed to be a super-charged husk at the end. Implying that the Dragon's Teeth are a Reaper invention designed to draw resources, nutrients, whatever, out of biological organisms. And also they get ready-made shock troops into the bargain.

Perhaps in terms of game design, Bioware felt that human husks would be more emotive? Because it would be easier to picture that process happening to ourselves? I find it terrifying, actually. I was really scared of the woman-turned-robot in the Superman film when I was a kid. And the Borg converting humans in Star Trek was also pretty horrible.

Or, maybe it was a question of development time. Maybe it took long enough to design Krogan, Turians, Salarians and Asari without having to create husk versions afterwards.

[armass]

I'd say the simplest answer is the same reason we don't have any female aliens of turians etc around:



Memory or time constraints.... That or a wizard did it, your choice.

[Saberdark]

I think armass has it right.

If it helps you sleep, one would be hard pressed to tell the difference between an Asari and Human husk, so just assume some of them are Asari. There, alien husks.

Many incoerences. Geth never atack human colonies in me 1, they want find the beacon killing humans in process.

Maybe collector atack human colonies becouse they know the vulnerability, Humans are newcomers, the colonies are small and less protected in comparision of oter species colonies.

Bad english

[Aedan_Cousland]

The Reapers huskified Protheans (you find ancient Dragon's Teeth in one of the side quests IIRC), so it is unlikely that humans are the only species able to be turned into husks. I'm guessing the reason why we don't see Turian, Salarian or Asari husks is the same reason we didn't see female aliens besides Asari. They exist, but a model for them was never developed.

I kind of figured what Saren's transformation after he shot himself was what a Turian husk would look like. Just my thoughts though.
