Lekgolos take a hulking bipedal form in the Covenant military which is, in truth, the least common assemblage of the creatures <ref>[[Bestiarum]]</ref>. In this form, they are the strongest species in the [[Covenant]] <ref>[[Halo 3 Game Guide]], http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/halo3.aspx, On Covenant character page.</ref>. These forms stand anywhere from nine and a half to twelve feet tall, but when in their combat state they crouch to approximately eight feet, making their weak spots smaller. Hunters fight with [[Fuel Rod Gun]]s ([[Halo: Combat Evolved]]) or modified [[Fuel Rod Cannon]]s ([[Halo 2]] and [[Halo 3]]) integrated directly into their armor, and they carry an enormous and nearly-impervious metal shield made of an unknown alloy, which they sometimes use as a [[melee]] [[weapon]]. The modified Fuel Rod Cannon used in Halo 2 is more beam-like, similar to that of the [[Gravity Cannon]]. The fire is more sustained, and more devastating. | Lekgolos take a hulking bipedal form in the Covenant military which is, in truth, the least common assemblage of the creatures <ref>[[Bestiarum]]</ref>.

According to the [[San 'Shyuum]] | According to the [[San 'Shyuum]], the Lekgolos needed to be "tamed." An [[Arbiter]] played a significant role in this event. | ||
The Lekgolo's religious, political and philosophical affiliation with the Covenant was based on their need for viable space travel and see little need for religion. When their homeworld of [[Te]] was visited by an advanced alien culture who were intent on mining the world, they faced heavy resistance from the Hunters whose physiology gave them a tremendous advantage in combat. Hunters were later forced into the Covenant by the superior starship technology of the Elites - on the ground they were mostly, if not always, victorious. Faced with extinction by orbital bombardment, they joined the Covenant. | The Lekgolo's religious, political and philosophical affiliation with the Covenant was based on their need for viable space travel and see little need for religion.
