The Engineers are actually not a species at all, but rather an artificial life form created by the Forerunners. However, while they possess no true tissues or organs, their nano-mechanical surrogates so closely mimic their biological analogs that they seem almost indistinguishable to lesser cultures.<ref>[[Bestiarum]]</ref> Their method of locomotion is to float using gas-bladders, even continuing to float when dead. Indeed, if their gas bladders deflate, they will asphyxiate and die. They have six dark eyes and four tentacles that can split into very small, near-microscopic cilia. The Engineers use these cilia to construct, repair, or rebuild nearly anything they can grasp. They can take apart whole vehicles and rearrange the entire structure of it in a matter of seconds, and it will still operate. They learn at an unprecedented rate, and store that information for future reference if ever they need to repair the same thing twice. They are capable of surviving in at least Oxygen and Methane-rich environments, but cannot survive in vacuum. | The Engineers are actually not a species at all, but rather an artificial life form created by the Forerunners.

Engineers are not a tactical threat and are hardly ever seen in combat situations. They do not regard humans as enemies, and even aided the Master Chief by repairing his shield generator of his [[MJOLNIR]] [[armor]] and repaired a broken [[Needler]] that the Chief was using in the novel [[Halo: First Strike]]. This is also shown in the novel [[Halo: Contact Harvest]] when the Huragok Lighter | Engineers are not a tactical threat and are hardly ever seen in combat situations.

This is also shown in the novel [[Halo: Contact Harvest]] when the Huragok, Lighter than Some, was aiding the humans to bring peace. He even made them a peace offering. After repairing the armor, as previously mentioned before, Lieutenant Haverson killed the Engineer, stating that it had learned all about the [[MJOLNIR]] shield technology that is superior to the Elites Personal Energy shields and could not be allowed to relay said information. | ||
The blood coloration of the Engineers looks a deep scarlet orange. Piles of Engineer gore can be seen in the [[Halo Graphic Novel]], whereupon the squad of Elites come across them inside the ship [[Infinite Succor]]. The blood also looks highly viscous and sticky. However, it is possible that this is not entirely accurate, as the Graphic Novel took several liberties with appearances. | The blood coloration of the Engineers looks a deep scarlet orange.
