The '''Fist of Rukt''' is a [[Jiralhanae]] ceremonial weapon exclusively used by the [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae]].  


The Fist of Rukt is believed to be the most powerful of the [[Gravity Hammer]]s with respects to ceremonial purposes. It was also capable of emitting electromagnetic fields and stunning, and possibly energy shielding, as [[Tartarus]] isn't seen with an energy shield projector or any kind of armor that supplies it, abilities unique from traditional gravity hammers. The surface of the hammer may also be magnetized, as [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] is seen adhered to it.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[The Great Journey (Level)]]''</ref>.

"Rukt" translates to "blood" in Sanskrit, but it is unknown what "Rukt" actually was. Presumably it is named after some entity, possibly the first to possess the hammer, who was presumably either a god or a very celebrated warrior. The specifications of the hammer could mean that ''Rukt'' was quite tall, and strong, due to the size and strength of the hammer, as well as the name, '''Fist'''. If Rukt was a physical entity, he would most likely have been the leader of the Jiralhanae, and united them, using the hammer as a symbol of leadership, strength and power. It is also possible that he was the Jiralhanae who united them with [[Covenant|The Covenant]].
