...really, though? Paul Torgal's final log doesn't seem to be describing a Reaper as much as it might be a Sea Dragon - for one thing, Paul mentions tentacles, which Reapers don't have; second, he describes it as being bigger than a Cyclops while the typical Reaper is not quite as large as the Cyclops (though it's plausible a particularly large individual might be). Reapers also don't live in the deeper waters normally, just in the more open, pelagic areas that get sunlight during the day, and while Reaper skeletons can be found in the Lost River and Inactive Lava Zone, they're noted in the databank as having been chased by a larger predator... which is, oh hey, the Sea Dragon, whose databank entry states it leaves the lava fields to hunt, and chased them down there. The Deep Grand Reef Degasi base is right near a Lost River entrance - if a Sea Dragon were leaving the deeper zones to hunt, it would have passed that base, and in fact it could very plausibly have been attracted by the smell of blood from the crippled Reaper that Maida brought back, seeing as Reapers are among its favored prey.

It wouldn't be the only structure that a Sea Dragon destroyed, either.
