Masaari Statue

About
The Masaari Statue is a stone model created by Maxis within the Spore franchise. The statue can be found in various Maxis programmed adventures in the game Spore: Galactic Adventures, as well as the Sporepedia. Although contact with the statue is relatively unpopular to players within the games, it is famous for being the statue of the character named Steve, who you meet when your creature reaches the center of the Spore Galaxy. Notably, the statue's features are very similar to the Travie's, who are also Maxis created creature. But with closer speculation, they do not exactly match, most notably in the feet.

Mystery and Speculation
Many Spore players have began speculating and investigating the Masaari Statue trying to find possible secrets and form theories. For example, the statue's name "Masaari" has been noticed to be similar the word "Messiah", which is a religious term meaning a high priest or holy ruler. Which can be tied together with "The God That Will Come", also known as "The False God That Will Come", leading to the possible conclusion that Steve may be The "False" God That Will Come. This could also have links with the Grox's philosophy, since Steve is found hiding from the Grox. The figure of Steve ever questions the theory that Steve is a human. The statue's body shape and posture are similar to human's, but, again, his features do not exactly match ours (circular feet, four long tows, large snout-esque nose, etc.). But this could be do to the limitations of the Spore building editor.
