:They don't look it, but we've only compared them to the Elites and Brutes they surround themselves with, both races much taller, plus the double facts that a good amount of that height is their serpentine necks, and they hunch over. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 21:20, 5 January 2012 (EST)

:They ''are'' more accurate, though I internally cringe at any change to make titles longer/more complex. We don't see the "High" or "Minor" parts being used very commonly, so one could argue this can be regarded as a case similar to most weapon/vehicle names (or, for that matter, character middle names) where only the more common name is used in the article title while the full one is listed in the introduction. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 14:58, 21 March 2017 (EDT)

It would appear as though the height is wrong. Even if it's from an official source, it contradicts their height in-game, which is 9'10" in their throne:

And they're about the same height as Lord Hood out of it, at least when slouching (I think their full height dethroned would be about what is presented in the article, however):

:Game scale is generally unreliable, and we don't accept the Loftus scalecharts for this reason (as amazing work as they are). If a canon in-universe source specifies different from game models, we will generally always take canon over unreliable games stuff.[[User:BaconShelf|BaconShelf - The Inners Will Never See Them Coming]] ([[User talk:BaconShelf|talk]]) 14:53, April 7, 2021 (EDT)
::I can understand that for gameplay, but I'm personally going to use a mixture of sources i.e. Halopedia and otherwise from here on. Thanks.

::::Generally you should. IMO, the best way to use sites like this is to use the page to find relevant sources, then go use those sources yourself.[[User:BaconShelf|BaconShelf - The Inners Will Never See Them Coming]] ([[User talk:BaconShelf|talk]])
