Lekgolo: Difference between revisions

In a Bungie Weekly Update, [[Frank O'Connor]] said: "Hunter society is complex and we have seen but the tiniest fraction of it. There are some fundamental facts about Hunter biology that mean the combat type is just the tip of the iceberg."<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?story=updatefeb03</ref> This means, or at least implies, that there are other kinds of Hunters that simply have yet to be seen.

The Hunter is not a singular organism, but rather a hive creature composed of multiple small, orange, worm-like beings called Lekgolo eels by fans that form a singular collective consciousness and act as one, like a Portuguese man of war jellyfish. The extremely strong armor that covers them has the dual purpose of both protecting them and keeping the eels together.<ref name="Tano"/> Hunters also have very sharp, long spines made of the worms that make up their body. Hunters have been known to impale careless [[Marines]] upon these spines when surrounded. The white streak on the hunters "head" is actually a visor or sensor screen.
