However, as often in stats, this was a generic name, as other enemies were also identified as "Brute Leader", "Hunter Spec-Ops", or "Grunt Infantry". In order to see the enemy's real rank, one must right-click on the image and save it. The file's name for this rank was "Drone Captain Major". Yet, ''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'' used "Yanme'e Leader" in its list of Yanme'e ranks. This was probably done by accident by 343 Industries, as Bungie did not intend to use this generic name for the rank. Nonetheless, the generic name was made canonical by the ''Essential Visual Guide''.</ref> are high in the [[Yanme'e]] caste and have one of the highest Yanme'e ranks in the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]].

== | ==Description== | ||
The | The Leader is one of the highest ranks attainable for the Yanme'e. Yanme'e Leaders have been rushed from their pupal stage, and as a result, their abdomens glow brightly.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST Official Strategy Guide]]''', ''page 25''</ref> They often command [[lance]]s consisting of lower-ranking soldiers, such as [[Yanme'e Major]]s and [[Yanme'e Minor|Minors]]. Occasionally, they have some control over low-ranked [[Unggoy]] and even [[Kig-Yar]].<ref name="ODST">'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'''</ref> | ||
During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], a Yanme'e Leader led the defense of the hive within [[New Mombasa|the city]] from the invading [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]]. However, it was eventually killed by [[Rookie|a lone ODST]].<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level, ''[[Data Hive (Level)|Data Hive]]''</ref> | |||

The Yanme'e | The Yanme'e Leaders are the best equipped of the known Yanme'e ranks in service with the [[Covenant military]]. They are equipped with relatively strong [[energy shielding]] and have hard, golden exoskeletons that can protect them from moderate damage. However, their exoskeleton is not immune to damage caused by firearms.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 159''</ref> They are typically armed with [[Type-25 Brute plasma rifle]].<ref name="ODST"/> | ||

Yanme'e Leaders are only encountered in the ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' campaign once, towards the end of the level [[Data Hive]]. However, Yanme'e Leaders are occasionally encountered in ''ODST'''s [[Firefight]]. Drone Leaders are the most powerful Drone rank in the game. A [[plasma pistol]] is effective at draining the shields of the Leader. Once its shields are down, weapons like the [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]] or the [[M6C/SOCOM|magnum]] allow the player to easily eliminate the Drone. Unlike lower-ranking Drones, the Leaders are more likely to land and walk around, rather than fly and shoot. It is not recommended for players to use grenades against the Yanme'e Leaders, since they often avoid them with ease.<ref name="ODST"/> | |||
