Covenant Halo’s aliens, ranked by how kissable they are

[ad_1]

The Covenant lives in the infamy of video games as one of the most iconic groups of baddies in history. These creepy aliens in their futuristic armor and slimy skin look as scary as they are cool, making them a suitable group of enemies to take on the Master Chief.

In the Halo series, the Pact refers to an alliance of multiple alien species, all united under the belief that the aliens will one day be able to activate a super technology and ascend to join the gods. Although these aliens share a common goal, the organization seems to have some kind of unwritten requirement that none of them can be attractive.

In the spirit of the Pact itself, which is an extremely hierarchical organization, I decided to classify them. However, on this day, I will not classify them by how strong or smart they are. No, this list will rank them based on how smokable each of these exotic species is.

Personally, I would not choose to kiss any of these aliens. However, if I were forced to kiss them, here is my final ranking list, according to how willing I would be to kiss them.

1. Elites (Sangheili)

Call me basic, but I can’t help but put the elites at the top of this list. Elites are skilled fighters and technicians, and they are a fairly common foe throughout the Halo universe. The height of an Elite can be from 7ft 4 to 8ft 6, and they are super strong. These aliens did what the Master Chief could never do: have sex appeal. These bad boys tower over the already tall super soldier. According to biological descriptions of them, the elites have a four-hinged jaw with an upper jaw and four finger-shaped jaws, which means that these baddies are possibly designed to kiss, which makes them worthy of this place in the ranking. .

2. Gross (Jiralhanae)

a Brute, a giant alien resembling a Halo beast.  it has fur all over its body and has a muscular and built body.

He originally had Brutes lower on the list due to his irritable nature. However, this article strives to be objective journalism work, so I have to be honest about who seems to be the most smokable. By that measure, I have to say that these Halo Chewbaccas deserve to be higher on the list than just about everyone else. Kissing this highly aggressive alien species would terrify me, but it would still be preferable to kiss anyone below. Suppose all the hair is too big a beard, okay?

3. Prophets (San’Shyuum)

Look, putting the Prophets so high is just that I sell myself. These aliens are at the top of the Covenant hierarchy and are possibly some of the ugliest creatures on this list. However, their relative position of power and intellect makes them an easier target for a kiss. At this point, I’m more willing to take a ride in the floating chair. I think I could fix them, you know?

4. Grunts (monkey)

a little goblin from an alien.  he has sharp yellow teeth and wears body armor along with a blaster in his left hand.  he also has long, sharp nails.

Some decisions are purely emotional. While they may be at the bottom of the Covenant ranks, the Grunts are at the top of my heart, which explains their position on this list. Wait, sorry, this is supposed to be objective. Well, those were all just facts.

Sure, there are many things against them: they breathe methane and have long, fierce nails. But they are arguably the most likable of the Covenant species. Gregarious and sociable, Grunts can often be found in groups, always ready to help. There is no question that among the aliens on this list, you will most likely take a Grunt to a social event, have a few drinks, and give them a big kiss.

5. Hunters (Lekgolo / Mgalekgolo)

Hunters have a dirty little secret: they’re actually giant heaps of sentient worms (or eels, to be precise). What looks like rippling muscles underneath that armor is a colony of tiny eels that have coalesced to form a larger being. While that’s not exactly my cup of tea, a giant pile of humanoid worms could work for you, depending on what you like. Regardless of your personal feelings or mine, these creatures don’t seem to have a real face, which is why they appear further down the kiss list.

6. Jackals or harassers (Kig-Yar)

There are several subspecies of jackals, but we will only evaluate this type. This species has a “saurian” classification, which means that they are bird-like reptiles. I like lizards, they are great, although my eyes would surprise me personally. I think the experience of kissing one could be enhanced by the down on their backs. Overall, they seem a bit lanky and toothy for my liking, so I would avoid kissing one if possible.

7. Drones (Yanme’e)

This is a mistake. This is a literal error. I don’t feel like kissing a Drone. However, if necessary, I will give one a little encouraging kiss right on top, like a frog. Maybe I’d take a photo, just to show, you know, that I’m funny or something. However, there is little benefit in these carnivorous insectoids.

8. Engineers (Huragok)

an engineer, a blue and purple creature from Halo.  it doesn't actually have a face, but it does have hanging tentacles and a bulge all over it.  looks slimy.

Well, you did! You scrolled to the bottom of this list. I don’t know what that says about you or me. However, let’s get this over with.

Last and least, we have the engineers. Engineers are an anomaly on this list. They are some kind of biochemical creatures that were created by the Forerunners (another alien race), and while I could go on with my precise reasoning behind this, I don’t feel like I need to explain further. Only Sight in that.
