Sangheili: Difference between revisions

The Elites once dwelt on a planet that had at one point been inhabited by the Forerunners.which my be the same homeworld as the Prophets, however, also lived on a Forerunner planet. It has been suggested, although never confirmed, that the two races lived, oblivious to one another, on the same world. It is unknown how or why, but at some point, the Prophets and Elites came together in a long and bloody war. An unknown Elite author described the two races' plight in a poem:

Elites have an interesting physical appearance. Their jaw is quadruple-hinged, with an upper jaw and four [[Mandible|mandible]]-like lips which are lined with sharp teeth. It is because of this unique mouth that humans have given them the nicknames "split-lip" or "squidhead". It is unknown, given this structure, how Elites chew, swallow food, or even speak. But this may only apply to speaking English, since in Halo 2 most of there are translated from UNSC translation software, but there capable of speking english due to there evolve organs and bodys , . Their hands only have four fingers; two middle fingers and two thumb-like fingers on the outside for grasping. Their legs are digitigrade, meaning possibly allowing them to run very quickly and jump large distances, at least when compared to ordinary humans and other species of the Covenant. Their hoof-like feet give them a good balance, as well as a nasty kick. Though it appears that the only disadvantage is a more husky and slow walk.
