Talk:Taming of the Lekgolo

Contact Harvest contradicts this.


 * Yeah, it says on page 269-270 thet they were worms on a gas giant's ring that ate Forerunner tech (the ring was really 'crumbs' of something they ate). The Taming refered to when it was suggested they could be trained to eat around the Forerunner artifacts for reclamation reasons.--Sandwichman2449 22:12, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

It has never been suggested in CH that this was their taming, it has been repeatedly said it was during their attempt to bring them into covenant, for that power along with their mineral rich world. --Ajax 013 22:21, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it should--Aka Toad 00:42, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Should this article be renamed "Taming of the Lekgolo"? -- Stryker  117  01:18, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah it should, because all the Lekgolo were tamed, not just the Mgalekgolo. 24.192.86.139 21:56, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

A good proportion of whats on this page is simply repeating whats written on the main Lekgolo page. --Danish Ranger 16:24, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

789 BCE, Rantu and Rentus
First, where does the 789 BCE date for the beginning of the conflict come from? The Encyclopedia is cited but the timeline on pg. 30 only mentions 784 BCE as the date the Lekgolo joined the Covenant. Is there a mention of a five-year conflict somewhere?

Also, there seems to be a discrepancy between Catalog's statement about first contact and the Halo 2 Anniversary terminal. According to Catalog, first contact with Hunters (whether this means Lekgolo or Mgalekgolo is up for debate) was made on Rentus in 784 BCE. Catalog also refers to Encyclopedia page 30 for the date, although said page only states this is when they were incorporated to the Covenant.

Meanwhile, the terminal clearly indicates that the encounter on Rantu was the first time the Covenant observed the Mgalekgolo (with a possible suggestion that the Lekgolo created bipedal forms to mimic the Arbiter). It's possible that Rantu was mislabeled in the terminal description, or that Catalog was wrong about Rentus. It did, after all, state that its statements may be overridden at any time by superior canon. The terminal also deviates somewhat from what we know from the Bestiarum, as it's suggested that the Covenant didn't learn the "Lekgolo's secret" (ie. their ability to combine) until the Arbiter's encounter. However, this can be seen as basic simplification for terminal narrative purposes, and/or historic embellishment by the Covenant scribe. But it seems we have to take our pick as to the site of the first encounter. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 02:46, 25 November 2014 (EST)
