So it turns out it's Lekgolo after all. I had my suspicions as did everyone else, but I was expecting something more profound and sinister (something Forerunner/Flood/Precursor/mystery alien vessel-related and hopefully connected to the new element too). Nope, it's just a bunch of Lekgolo and they're chilling on a dead Halo because why not. It feels off that the existential threat isn't really connected to the anti-human element and these two things are both present by coincidence. On one hand I like how they made use of more "alien" forms of Lekgolo colony (I've always been intrigued by them) but I'm not really a fan of the sudden addition of new capabilities that were never demonstrated before—the things are basically ''flying''. As I said before, if the Lekgolo were this insanely powerful and fast why didn't the Covenant just unleash gigantic swarms of them on their enemies? Part of it is probably an issue of modeling in-game assets, but still. If this were an established capability you'd expect to see Lekgolo holdouts becoming a major nuisance on a lot of human worlds. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 10:48, 20 November 2014 (EST) | So it turns out it's Lekgolo after all.

:I do agree it's a bit anti-climactic and (in)convenient there just happen to be a bunch of them in that particular spot, but what I got out of the drone second story was that they weren't Covenant Lekgolo, but rather ones stored deep inside the ring by the Forerunners. Maybe I'm just hoping, but I think there's something more at work with them than simple former Covenant Lekgolo; if that's all they are, while still cool to see, it would fall a bit flat. I do find it interesting that a Hunter was the "boss battle" in FuD as well, and they were also shown in their natural form in that H2:A terminal. Quite a bit of them around.
