Description
My version of a volus reaper enemy, since the idea of a menacing volus is sort of a joke I just turned them into little suicide bombers that can only run close to you and blow up so you have to kill them from a distance.People kept saying Volus would explode if exposed outside their suits so I changed the feet into mech legs to solve this.

Honestly, I'm willing to wager that these things would be scarier than whatever BioWare could come up with if they decided to include these enemies. Well done!

I could bet it'd function as a suicide bomber xD so that means.. great job!

I figure the Volus could have been made into a support unit of some kind, like a mobile shield generator and drone coordinator.

Bloat:
The Bloat is a Reaper husk created from a Volus. Due to their unstable physiological structure and lack of any real physical prowess,Reaper nano-tech compensates by grafting a set of tripod legs to the base of the husk,allowing it to be mobile enough to pursue enemies. However,due to the instability of the internal organ systems with the process,Bloats are naturally primed to self-detonate upon close contact with opponents,making these units out as little more than suicide bombers for the Reapers. However,due to the powerful explosive radius of these detonations,it is advised to maintain a distance.

I can read that perfectly in the codex voice. Well done. And well done to the artist too!

Great, I will never look at another Volus the same way again... ugh. "Amnesia: A Machine for Reapers" anyone?

Perfect concept for this race. Yeah, pretty hard to see a Volus as menacing after the red-sand, high-as-a-kite "I'm a biotic God!", weeble-wobble incident.

Suicide bomber volus?
Niftu Cal and his trusty Reegar can deal with them.

Wow... this is funny but still a little creepy and I can ACTUALLY see these reaper concepts in the game.

I think the Council will start taking the Volus a little more seriously NOW...

This is Super cool! have you played with the volus engineer in the Mass Effet 3 multiplayer, So cool, he's like a glass canon b/c he could set up mines and explosives, but dies very easily.

Wow this makes me feel sad for the volus if they were turned into reapers

i think I'm taking this idea as well. In my imagination they would be volus with a genetic disorder called Ternell's syndrome. A volus with this syndrome is unable to break down the amino acid glutamine, and it gradually builds up in the body. As it progresses it causes dementia and kidney damage, although news medicine are being developed to help Ternell syndrome sufferers break down the amino acids.
Also volus with Ternell's sydrome usually has at least 3 of five distinictive signs, the following being;
-abnormally short statue for a volus
-ear deformities ( ears can be small or nonexistent)
-infertility in both genders
-unusual urine smell (smell remarkably like the volus equivalent of apple juice)
-enlarged brain ventricles

Good imagination you've got there

Thanks! in my headcanon the Reapers usually target people with genetic disorders that may be useful for tactic purposes (remember the asari ardat-yakshi?)

the fact that they are basically bombs with legs actually makes more sense because ambassador din said that volus ships are basically large bombing vessels.

I am not going to lie that umbilical...intestinal thing that he's holding makes me really uneasy. Good job.

Interesting concept. The only thing they are good for anyways is exploding.

I like this version, and not just because of technical issues. This just looks so much more terrifying and awesome.

lol that is awesome heh, since theres speculation that Vulcan bombers just drop themselves as living bombs, i think this doesn't change a huge amount with their regular tactics sadly >< but still amazing work on this

Volus as suicide bombers is great idea! I'm mean of course they should have some kind of cloak ability or tough armor to have a chance to get close enough to detonate themselsfs but still great idea!

People would finally pay attention to the Volus... Of course, only to lay down fire to blow them up at a distance...

The volus homeworld Irune features an ammonia-based ecology and a gravitational field 1.5 times that of Earth, as well as a high-pressure atmosphere as consequence the low pressure atmospheres tolerable to most species, their flesh will actually split open.
Sooooooooo... if u know this and u base the desing to fit this u should have work in the cration of the game and make this happened (u have a grait brain)
if not and only did this because u thought it was cool or because u "felt like it" then u have OMFG instincs
