Covenant: Difference between revisions

Mgalekgolo, or '''Hunters''', are thought to be giant monsters, but they are actually an assemblage of worm-like entities called "[[Lekgolo]]" that create a communal, armor plated form. In this form, they are known as "[[Mgalekgolo]]". They always fight and travel in pairs known as "Bond Brothers" (which technically means that not all of the colonies of worms were able to fit within one set of armor), and are the strongest of the Covenant fighting units. They wield powerful assault cannons and a massive shield resistant to any small arms fire which may also be used as a melee weapon due to its sharp sides and the Hunters' great strength. This is why if you are close enough to a Hunter, they will run at you, and swing their shield at you, which can cause major damage, but this can easily be dodged, since Hunters are relatively slow. They are usually used as shock infantry, and are only deployed on the battle field when in need of a heavy force - they are used more like heavy duty equipment than soldiers. Their political and religious motivations are completely unknown. Their weaknesses are their exposed orange flesh, which is located on their backs, stomach, and neck. In ''[[Halo 3]]'' the leadership offered more protection by covering their stomachs with more armor. Their main weakness is when their back is turned, because of the lack of armor they have there. They are one of the most powerful Covenant foes, challenged only by the [[Sangheili]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and the [[Jiralhanae]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''.
