Thank you for showcasing the new Tyrant enemy from my Spectre Expansion Mod. It's very cool to see it get highlighted this way. The creation of this enemy took a lot of work and was highly experimental, so just seeing it in action is a delight. The enemy design came from unused concept art for ME3 and from an unused enemy type from the alpha/beta scripts, which we then moulded into the enemy you see before you. Mellin did a cracking job with the models, and without his support it would've never been completed. I've had a few people ask why we chose to make it an elcor rather than a krogan, yahg, vorcha or something else. The reason is that in their quest to annihilate a species, they first pervert them by turning them into monstrous husks. The thought of forcing a quadruped to march on two legs seemed pretty monstrous to me, and as it shares a similar size with an Elcor, the concept just matched up perfectly.

You're right that it started with a Cerberus Guardian, but creating a new enemy isn't as easy as just copy & pasting, we had to make a lot of script edits so that the enemy worked as intended. It had to be changed so it couldn't drop the shield and wouldn't use ragdoll effects, its weaponry had to be overhauled, its AI overhauled so that it would get close enough to use the flamethrower, it required a new model and more. So you're not wrong that it started as a Guardian, but it was a lot more difficult to make than just re-texturing it :)

@Tydeous I'm a console peasant, I play mostly on Xbox, but goddamn this mod looks cool. I did some research into modding after Skyrim started accepting mods on console, and that is difficult enough to mod anything more than minor script edits, even with a game engine that is famously easier to mod than most, and the officially released creation kit mod tools, that I was discouraged from trying my hand at making the mods I had ideas for. So you have my utmost respect for the amount of time and effort that must go into mods like this, especially on this engine, with fan community made modding tools. If this was on the same engine as Skyrim, a fortnight after the game came out, there would be mods that added Miranda and Jack to the party for ME3, created Volus and Elcor companions, and made Aria romanceable. With the current modding setup for Mass Effect, just adding one new enemy is 10 times the work of any of the above.

Turians are from Palaven, Asari from Thessia, Quarians from Rannoch, Elcor from Dekuuna, as opposed to Turians from Turos, Asari from Asar, etc. It's a small thing but it really adds a nice amount of realism in my opinion. Relatedly, very nice mod! I always did wonder what some of the lesser species of ME would look like indoctrinated.

Especially since the Elcor use nuerolinked back mounted artillery to fight (as mentioned by an Elcor on the citadel in ME3 when he asks the PC to rescue the remaining Elcor from their home system) which not only is awesome, it also fits the reaper aesthetic, akin to ravagers.

I'd love to do more monstrous husk forms, but one of the issues holding me back (other than the difficulty creating an enjoyable enemy by reusing an existing enemy archetype) is that there are so few missions where you fight the Reapers. This means that it's easy to overstuff a map with new enemy types when they might not feel as if they belong in that level. I've got ideas for future enemies, though, so we'll see what happens on the new mission front to justify them.

Wish I had a high end computer that would let me mod out! Mass effect should go the way of Skyrim and allow console mods.

That’s exactly what the brutes should have been. Would have been far more interesting than ‘fusion of Turian and Krogan’ which doesn’t happen with any other species, and the Turians still keep their own husk (although I’m sure they prefer they didn’t lol)

Mod author here. You're right that it doesn't immediately look like an elcor, but in the concept art (from Bioware), the enemy has "tentacles" leading from roughly where a mouth would be, down its torso. We added this to the model as well, but it isn't easy to see in action. Our thought was that it could be a way the Reapers would alter the strange elcor mouth structure. But in truth, we know that a husk doesn't have to look like its original species, such as with the ravagers with their swarmer sacs or the Praetorians that were made up of humans.

@@Tydeous imma give the mod a go at some point and experience it first hand but my skepticism won't be allayed until then 🤣 Since the Collector SMG isn't available in single-player with the game unmodded, the only other contributing factor I can think of would be if the mod either rebalances enemy health in single-player, or if it doesn't but enemies in single-player just have a lot less health than in multiplayer. I would routinely top the scoreboard with over twice as many points as second place with the Collector Adept, and since the Collector Adept gets a damage bonus with Collector/Prothean weapons, the Collector SMG seemed like the natural choice for a primary weapon with a casting build or a secondary weapon with a soldier build, and it just... very much was not. Modded for damage or armor piercing or for capacity/not losing ammo, even with the Collector Adept's class bonus, the Hurricane and particle rifle were the far superior choices for caster and soldier builds, respectively. It made me sad, because I rarely saw other players figure out how to get around the Collector Adept's cooldown times and I was frequently kicked from lobbies for using it (I was even briefly banned because someone reported me for cheating on the basis of "you can't score that high with the Collector Adept without cheating,") and I thought the class bonus would let me shred things even better with the Collector SMG, but, alas.

In much the same way a Praetorian or a Scion is an husk created from humans. The Reapers pervert their victims into horrific forms for war, in part for the psychological effects it has on those fighting them. Javik mentions the kind of monsters they create on each new battlefield, so this falls into that category - taking something quadruped and torturing it into this shape and form. It's probably hard to see on the video, but there are a lot of model edits that give clues to its elcor origin. We spent a lot of time working on it to get the feel right.
