There is another variant of the Chieftain power armor, which have, however, different design than typical types and have better protection. It had also a techsuit that covers almost the entire body, including the hands.{{Ref/Reuse|Cards}} These armors were issued by several high-ranking Jiralhanae leaders such as "[[Thrallslayer]]", also known as the "Brute Army Commander", and [[Unidentified Jiralhanae chieftain (Heian)|another Jiralhanae Chieftain]], albeit the former being also colored entirely in red, opposing red-and-black-colored chieftain power armors, and the latter entirely in blue rather than in red.{{Ref/Game|Id=Cards|HW|Detail=[[:File:HWDE Thrallslayer LeaderProfile.jpg|Collectors Edition Leader Cards]]}}{{Ref/Film|Id=legends|Film=Halo Legends|Story=The Babysitter}} Whenever if either the "Army Commander" term is considered a Jiralhanae title given to several Chieftains or possibly a rank, or simply a nickname given to only "Trallslayer" is unknown. | There is another variant of the Chieftain [[Jiralhanae power armor|power armor]], which have, however, different design than typical types and have better protection.

While most of Jiralhanae Chieftains were known to worn power armors, few were poorly armored like the bulk of lower ranked Jiralhanae warriors as a whole until the Great Schism, including [[Parabum]] and [[Lydus]].{{Ref/Book|Book=Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe|Section=Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss|SectionLinkText=Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss}}{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE|Comic=Halo: Escalation|Issue=[[Halo: Escalation Issue 1|#1]]}} | While most of Jiralhanae Chieftains were known to worn power armors, few were poorly armored like the bulk of lower ranked Jiralhanae warriors as a whole until the Great Schism, including [[Parabum]] and [[Lydus]].{{Ref/Book|Book=Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe|Section=Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss|SectionLinkText=Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss}}{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE|Comic=Halo: Escalation|Issue=[[Halo: Escalation Issue 1|#1]]}} | ||

*During the early development of ''Halo 3'', a Jiralhanae Chieftain was seen wielding an energy sword. This was probably taken out due to the fact that Jiralhanae prefer their own gravity hammers, and because the energy sword is a Sangheili-exclusive weapon (and the Jiralhanae dislike the Sangheili). | *During the early development of ''[[Halo 3]]'', a Jiralhanae Chieftain was seen wielding an [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]].
