Nov 21, 2022 · The Inusannon were actually first mentioned in ME2, in the planetary entry for Eingana: Eingana is a hot, beautiful, and deadly world, covered with the debris of ancient starships. Approximately 127,000 years ago, a series of battles were fought over it by two organic species, the thoi'han and the inusannon.

Oct 22, 2019 · When asked about Ilos, Javik says the research base they had there was built on the ruins of an Inusannon colony. This would explain why the ruins of the city on Ilos stray away from known Prothean architecture, like Feros' concrete-like structures and "tech" Prothean architecture from the Mars Archive and Eden Prime and look so much more ancient.

Nov 22, 2022 · Probably, inusannon used to be actual protheans, but then they got retconned ofc, i heard Adjutants was a cut content so they probably reused assets here, so its hard to know for sure without a dev confirming some of this stuff, what is lore and what is just convinience in the development process.

May 10, 2020 · My theory: The Inusannon were a species of plants that spread through infection, like the clickers from Last Of Us, at some point they were assimilated into the Reapers and became the Adjutants, Here's some more evidence, and This is the post I got it from. There was 1 colony of Inusannon who was not assimilated, it became the Thorian.

While the Inusannon were retconned, Mass Effect 2 has plenty of references to the Collectors being modified Protheans. I find it hard to believe BioWare didn’t have at least a vague idea of what cannon Protheans looked like by the time 2 finished production, at the very least 2 established they would have shared the Collector’s bodyshape.

Mar 14, 2012 · The Inusannon were a spacefaring race that existed at least 127,000 years ago. Little is known about them except that they warred with another race, the thoi'han, over colonization rights to the garden world Eingana, and that they inhabited Ilos at some point. The inusannon were eventually wiped out by the Reapers.

May 25, 2019 · Was Ilos Inusannon? Serious question. If so, my guess would be that they constructed the figures at Ilos after the Reapers had already begun their harvest. Therefore, everything was, perhaps, expressed in a fatalist "we're about the go extinct" kind of mindset. After all, some species, like the Protheans, fight it out till the bitter end.

Dec 3, 2021 · But ME2 established a vastly different design to Protheans, so ME3 softly retcons it by Javik mentioning that most of Ilos was built on ruins of the Inusannon, the apex race of the cycle before the Prothean, with those statues presumably being of them, and already around when the Prothean found Ilos.

Jun 8, 2021 · Javik handwaves it as art of the previous major race, the Inusannon but that is total retcon BS. The Collector design came up after ME1, and then Javik had to look like an unhuskified Collector to be a Prothean so they made this MCU-ass design for him that I don't even like, and these statues no longer could be canonically Prothean, in retrospect
