Halopedia: Hunters
Hunters
Hunters (Covenant: Lekgolo) are incredibly dangerous foes, deployed more like equipment than soldiers. They stand 12' tall or 8' while contracted, and are brought in for demolition or heavy defense. They always work in pairs, calling each other "bond brothers." Their massive size, near-impenetrable armor, large shields, and arm-mounted fuel-rod cannons essentially make them walking tanks in combat.
Unlike the other Covenant species, which have endoskelleton and central nervous systems, Hunters are actually made up of a conglomerate colony of sentien orange sybiotic eels, held together by their armor. Small breaches in the armor at their torso and necks reveal this, also serving as weak points for the creatures. Hunters usually show nothing but opprobrium towards the lesser Covenant races (even purposefully killing them if they become an obstruction during battles) and rarely communicate with any other race (including the Prophets) apart from the Elites. They are believed to have their own religion; it is noted in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx that some Hunters even recite poetry and meditate in their spare time.
Surprisingly, Hunters seem to be one of the more intelligent species in the Covenant, as they join the Elites in their resistance against the Brutes. Though the Hunters ally with the Elites in Halo 2, they are seen fighting alongside the Brutes against the humans on Earth in the promotional video Believe.
