I'm on my third run of ME3, and every time I've got the monastery I've been intrigued by this odd creature.

It's like a seahorse sticking out of the wall, what the heck is it?

It give the enemies a layer of barrier. Destroy them quick to make the fight easy.

They are like the shield generators the humanoids use but for reaper critters

Wow.  Three playthroughs and I didn't figure that out.

 

Thanks guys.

you also encounter them disarming the Tuchanka bomb , in Cylone ( Firebase Reactor)  , on Omega (dlc) and in Sanctuary .

It's come to the point where I memorized where those shield emitters are, particularly in the reactor. It kinda bugs me though that no one comments on them when discovered. "What the hell is this thing? Definitely reaper tech. Welp, we're gonna fight reapers."

If the reapers had time to plant them, they could have simply put explosives there instead. It's not like they really needed that station.

They get a semi-introduction through squadmate comments on Utukku, the rachni planet, shortly after the second cave crawling sequence. Like, attention isn't really drawn to them, but they're at least referenced.
