Lekgolo worm
Summary
The Lekgolo[1] (Latin Ophis congregatio[2]) are a species of small colonial worm like creatures that can join together to form purpose specific assemblages, such as Mgalekgolo
Mgalekgolo are commonly referred to by Humans as Hunters. The cores of Scarabs are also seemingly made up of Lekgolo worms.[3]
Every worm-like creature is an individual eel about 1.4 meters long, with its own neural central system
These worms isolated Mendicant Bias from the rest of the Forerunner Dreadnought when it tried unsuccessful to escape from High Charity
See Mgalekgolo for more information on Lekgolo assemblages.
Trivia
- "Lekgolo" is Tswana for "one hundred", probably a reference to their hive-like physiology.
- Lekgolo blood smells like burnt plastic.[4]
- Claims that Lekgolo worms have been seen in the vulnerable area of Scarabs have given rise to speculation that Lekgolo operate the heavy weapons platforms for the Covenant, though this has yet to be proven.
- Ophis means snake. Congregatio means assembly, society, union. Translated it means "assembly of snakes", no doubt alluding to their physical structure.
