MORRIGAN-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor.[2]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The Morrigan helmet was developed based on sensors used by Jiralhanae Stalkers and recovered by Banished raiding parties—similarly to the STALKER-class Mjolnir. The upgrades are considered surprisingly intuitive and efficient by Spartan Operations personnel able to employ them.[2][1] The helmet is capable of mounting a MOD-P CBRN module to maximize its endurance and efficacy in various atmospheric conditions, or to aid Spartans in tracking specific biochemical signatures.[3]
Development history[edit]
The Morrigan helmet is manufactured by Naphtali Contractor Corporation.[1][2] During the helmet's prototyping phase, it was tested by Spartan-II Frederic-104.[1]
In-game information[edit]
Halo Infinite[edit]
The Morrigan helmet is available for multiplayer Spartan armor customization in Halo Infinite. Introduced during Alpha Pack as the capstone helmet of the event during Season 02: Lone Wolves, Morrigan and its associated armor available through the pass are available primarily for the Rakshasa armor core, although Morrigan itself would be made available across all armor cores with the release of Season 05: Reckoning. Morrigan and its associated components would be made available through the Exchange during the Anvil operation in July of 2024.

Production notes[edit]
The Morrigan helmet design is based on illustrations done by Kory Lynn Hubbell during the concept phases for Halo 5: Guardians. The images in question were done as part of concept explorations for the design of Frederic-104 and his CENTURION-class Mjolnir, though ultimately went unused. Frederic-104's involvement with the MORRIGAN prototypes is a likely reference to his concept art being the inspiration behind the MORRIGAN-class Mjolnir, and a depiction of the Spartan within the 2022 edition of the Halo Encyclopedia would showcase him donning the helmet. The final helmet was modelled by Erik Kangas.
