A lumenon is an interplanetary species of flight-capable animals, classified as "sky-rays". Native to the Forerunner-colonized world of Rhotero, the lumenon were appreciated by the Forerunners' Builder rate and were commonly placed on refuges created by the Builders as a result, including Installation 04[1] and the shield world Genesis. Lumenon breeding on Genesis has gone unchecked for millennia, though the creatures generally keep their distance from other beings, preferring to hunt sea creatures on the surface of the planet's vast oceans.[2] Lumenon could also be found with at least one Warrior-Servant military compound hidden within a Burn.[3]

Behavior[edit]

On Installation 04, lumenon were observed perched on rocks around the Cartographer island, and would launch themselves high into the air to execute a steep dive into the water if startled.[1]
