The Kig-Yar species is represented by at least three morphologically distinct subtypes. These include the mainstream "Jackals", the notably reptilian Jackals of [[Ibie'sh]], and the more physically robust (and more avian) "Skirmishers" of [[T'vao]]. The morphological variation among the Kig-Yar likely represents divergent evolution in response to varied environments on prehistoric Eayn and, subsequently, their various interplanetary colony worlds.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''' (2011), ''pages 56 and 57''</ref><ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us#/intel/theuniverse/characters/video/the-jackals/24dc0ecc-8cf0-473a-aae3-266fe6019d61?filter=all '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Jackals'']</ref> | The Kig-Yar species is represented by at least three morphologically distinct subtypes.
