==Jackal Zealot in Reach?== | |||
As most of you know in Reach Jackal Minors have blue Defense Gauntlets and Majors have red Defense Gauntlets that turn blue when they have taken enough damage. Majors also have shoulder pads that the Minors do not possess. One day as I was playing Reach on the level PoA, on drydock there were three Jackals that appeared to have orange shields. When the shields took enough damage they turned a light violet color. However, as I examined their bodies they appeared to be Jackal Majors. I thought it was just the lighting in the area; but to make sure, I killed just one of these "orange shield Jackals" and then quit. when I looked at the stats it registered as a "Jackal Hero," surprisingly. Next I tried killing just a blue shield/red shield, respectively. They both registered as "Jackal Infantry". | |||
My point is, could these orange shields be the elusive Jackal Zealot?--[[User talk:TK 234|One who survived]] 17:36, 9 November 2010 (EST) | |||
Maybe, though it could have been a glitch, as Jackal Snipers also register as Jackal Heroes, but I understand your point...in fact, I'm surprised that nobody noticed this before. -xxgamernerdxx | |||
Note: Upon further investigation, I have found that Jackal Majors actually register as "Jackal Specialists". My apologies --[[User talk:TK 234|One who survived]] 19:49, 20 December 2010 (EST) | |||

Actually, Jackals are probably much taller than six feet; about the same height as an Elite, as shown in this picture. http://www.halopedian.com/File:Scale.GIF - xxgamernerdxx | |||

Actually, I'm going to have to disagree with both you gentlemen. You see, the "pads" are there as a sort of protection against the spikes of the male when Jackals are mating. Why protect something that's already armor? The only reasoning that I can see for having the helmet is the most straightforward one, to protect their heads. - Esq Vratum | |||

I always assumed that becuse they were based on birds that it ment they had holow bones so they couldn't take damage. I don't think they are weak per say but they certiantly can't take a hit.'''[[User talk:Dragrath1|Dragrath1]] 03:38, September 30, 2010 (UTC)''' | |||

== Jackal crystalline sabers == | |||
If you read the section of Contact Harvest where Johnson and Byrnes encounter Jackals, the Covenant, for the first time, they use type of blade that uses the same material as Needler rounds. Halo Helljumper #2 has these as well, where Jackals kill a bunch of ODST's with them.

==Other jackal species== | |||
I found an article about the jackals on waypoint, and they used the latin name of Lacerta erectus to or indicate either another sub-species of jackal or a different species altogether. However, it could also be it is just a discrepancy about the jackals' latin name. I want to know what is most likely before I make a new article altogether. here's the link: http://halo.xbox.com/en-au/intel/related/text/kig-yar/9b24ebed-1954-471b-908d-951528e8120c --[[User talk:Thijsbos|Thijsbos]] 11:32, 28 January 2011 (EST) | |||
:One edit: I noticed on the top of the article, behind the jackals' name, there is the Jackals' latin name, so it is not a discrepancy, but rather a new species altogether. And seeing as sub species would still have the family name Perosus same as the jackals, these must be a new species. --[[User talk:Thijsbos|Thijsbos]] 11:39, 28 January 2011 (EST) | |||
:Good catch. Lacerta erectus is likely to be a different species, as pointed out by the Bestiarum, as an example of another Low-G species, thus not strictly a family of the Kig-yar species. — <span style="font-size:200%; font-family:Freestyle Script;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 12:26, 28 January 2011 (EST) | |||
:The name translates to 'upright lizard' so I guess it will be somewhat related. But I'll create a new article about it then. Do you think it's homesystem is the same as that of the Jackals? --[[User talk:Thijsbos|Thijsbos]] 13:39, 28 January 2011 (EST) | |||

There are the skirmishers and the jackals from halo 2, right. Because in one of the graphic novels, I noticed it had both of them in it, but I noticed the article doesnt say anything about it, unless I missed it. Should I put it?

No not the skirmishers. There were them, and another sub-species type thing. They are the halo 2 jackals, because in halo uprising it shows both halo 2 and 3 jackals. --[[User talk:supersauce|supersauce]] 14:42, 13 February 2011 | |||

== Ranks == | |||
The rank structure is screwed up. Gold armored skirmishers are actually the highest ranked, not the elbow shielded ones. Check firefight if you do not believe me. Check the number of Skirm. Leaders killed to Spec. and you'll notice the number is to high to match the elbow shields. It does however match the number of Gold armored enemies you fight. | |||
