While Huragok have the ability to adapt to survive on any power source, they prefer a kind of sugary yeast nutrient paste. When this sludge-like food is not readily available, Huragok will gladly consume any sugary food. On one occasion, [[Requires Adjustment|a Huragok]] even requested that a slice of birthday cake be puréed for it to consume. However, if the need arose, a Huragok could forgo food altogether and adapt to draw energy from a power outlet.<ref name="TW15">'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''Chapter 15''</ref><ref name="MD2">'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''Chapter 2''</ref> | While Huragok have the ability to adapt to survive on any power source, they prefer a kind of sugary yeast nutrient paste.

As a result of their biomechanical nature, Huragok possess the ability to interface with electronic forms of data storage, "downloading" data directly into themselves.

Huragok can also repair each other if they have access to at least ten percent of the damaged individual's original mass.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}{{Ref/Reuse|Bestiarum}} | ||
Huragok are bioluminescent, and in dark conditions their heads and tentacles emit a bright bluish glow, which pulsates when the Huragok is calm and brightens or dims according to its emotional state. The cilia on their tentacles give off a pinkish-red light as well. Huragok [[blood]] is luminescent blue-purple in color.{{Ref/Reuse|ODST}} | Huragok are bioluminescent, and in dark conditions their heads and tentacles emit a bright bluish glow, which pulsates when the Huragok is calm and brightens or dims according to its emotional state.
