Hunters are not a single organism, but rather are composed of multiple small, orange, worm-like beings called Lekgolo, that form a single collective consciousness and act as one, a single "hive-mind", similar to the structure of operation in the Flood. Lekgolo religious beliefs are poorly understood, though it has been noted that their society in itself has little need for religion.

They can be as small as individual worms, or as big as a Kraken, with forms between filling roles otherwise filled by vehicles in the UNSC, like the Hunters. The Lekgolo are a species of colonial eel- or worm-like organisms which naturally join together to form purpose-specific assemblages, the most noteworthy of which are the Mgalekgolo, also known as the Covenant Hunters. Each Lekgolo is an individual organism, about 1.4 meters long, with its own central nervous system. A single Lekgolo can live for roughly 5 years. The Lekgolo almost never associate or even communicate with the other races in the Covenant. Lekgolo blood is a luminescent orange, and supposedly smells like burnt plastic. Colonies can stretch for an indefinite distance, though in order to form a consciousness equal to a humanoid race, a colony must be around 12 feet tall. If your Bond Brother is killed (Or you don't have one yet), whenever you roll a 1 on an attack roll, ability check, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. The Hunters are an awesome enemy, but I want to see a new variant on the combatant Lekgolo. I would love to see this, how about you guys? As a result of their colonial biology, individual Lekgolo are all valued equally as they are capable of improving the colony as a … Aside from being Hunters on the battlefield, individual Lekgolo were also used on High Charity to help study the Forerunner Keyship at the heart of the world, as they would selectively avoid eating Forerunner alloys and could reach areas of the ship inaccessible to the San’Shyuum. You can speak, read and write Common, Deep Speech, and Lekgolo.

The Lekgolo are a species of sapient eel-like creatures that derive much of their intelligence from bonding together into colonies that create a unique individual with the brainpower far in excess of a single Lekgolo. Living Tank. Although the Lekgolo proved very useful to the Covenant throughout its existence, their unique nature resulted in them being used mostly as a tool rather than treated as a member of the Covenant proper. That would be an impressive sight, I think. Lekgolo worms are also found in the Locust and Skitterers. Covenant leadership determined this was a great heresy and declared war on the Lekgolo, deciding it was best to wipe out the species. Mgalekgolo does not apply to Scarabs, formally. To the other races of the Covenant, however, the Mgalekgolo are dismissive, scornful, and arrogant, and they are utterly contemptuous of their foes.

The Mgalekgolo are the Hunters, the Thanolekgolo operate like a swarming carpet, and the Sbaolekgolo are the Harvesters. Their quiet nature amongst other races of the Covenant results either from difficulty speaking with other Covenant races or difficulty tolerating other Covenant races. This does not apply to other vehicle functions, such as a gunner or pilot’s position. Lekgolo are also able to arrange themselves within machinery and use their combined intelligence to pilot or control it. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.Bond Of Brothers. If an attack roll against you has advantage, you take an additional 1d4 damage.Languages. When the Covenant discovered the planet, and the Forerunner stations spread across it, they immediately sent search parties. In all past Halo media, Lekgolo have only really taken form in combat: the Mgalelekgolo (Hunters). https://comiccrossroads.fandom.com/wiki/Lekgolo_(Earth-4001)?oldid=306837, Can unify into single entities called "subsistence gestalts". It is known that Mgalekgolo do not use vocal chords to speak; they are, however, capable of mimicking the language of other species via subsonic vibrations of the Lekgolo in their bodies, forming words and sentences that are "felt rather than heard". Darkvision. When determining the maximum capacity a vehicle you do not count as a passenger. Sangheili are the sole exception; Hunters appreciate and acknowledge the warriors' thoughts and adeptness in combat. However, given the numbers found in colonies and the rate at which they breed, a colony has the appearance of never aging.Alignment. These gestalts are capable of manifesting in several different forms according to what goal they are striving to achieve and the amount of Lekgolo worms that are present. It is speculated that they have microscopic muscular cilia which are used to connect to other lekgolo; each cilium is capable of communicating chemically similar to a synapse. A single Mgalekgolo colony is generally comprised of two “gestalt beings,” each weighing several thousand kilograms and designed to engage in a form of physical combat closely approximated to hunter-killer formations, hence their name. I would have them look something like Colony from Halo Wars 2 specifically the helmet. Lekgolo inside a Scarab. The Lekgolo are characterized by their ability to form bonds with one another both physically and neurologically to form gestalt colonies with a singular personality; these communities, rather than individual Lekgolo eels, are considered the closest thing to a sapient Lekgolo "individual" that can be named.

The Covenant was even able to use the Lekgolo in artifact excavation operations, using very large colonies to form into Scarabs. Mgalekgolo (a combat form of a lekgolo colony) are, on the other hand, self-aware and truly sapient. The Lekgolo are a species of small colonial worm-like creatures that can join together to form purpose specific assemblages, known as subsistence gestalts. They almost always come in pairs or "bond brothers", and the death of one will enrage the other. Lekgolo are relatively unintelligent at the most basic level, but can form complex thoughts and emerge as a conscious individual when they combine into larger masses that communicate through chemical and electrical means. Unlike all other races where each individual member possesses their own intelligence, full sapience is only realized when the individual Lekgolo eels form into a gestalt that bonds the creatures into a single sapient entity.
