Lekgolo/Mgelkgolo

&nbsp The Lekgolo are a worm-like species that originated from Te, this was the first species to join the Covenant after its forming.

The Mgelekgolo are a colonized form of the species, these colonies appear as:

Hunter Forms (Combat forms with a massive almost invincible shield, a fuel rod cannon, & have an amazing amount of brutal strength.

Scarab Forms (Vehicular forms, as a giant spider-like tank, that is equiped with a Modified Assault Cannon & Anti-Aircraft Turrets.

When the Prophets & Elites discovered the Lekgolo, several colonies had destroyed too many of the Forerunner artifacts, leading to the annihilation of those colonies. After those colonies were destroyed, the remaining Lekgolo were trained so that the Covenant could use them to better their study of Forerunner artifacts.

During the Covenant Civil War, The Hunters & Grunts defected to the Elites side until the end of the Battle of Installation 05. Afterwards, they returned to fighting for the Prophets to finish the Great Journey.
