Kig-Yar


Biology

The Kig-Yar are an avian/reptilian species which served the Covenant as mercenaries and privateers. There are two distinct subgroups of Kig-Yar, which Humans have termed Jackals and Skirmishers. In combat, Kig-Yar typically serve as snipers, shock troopers, defensive fighters, and scouts within the Covenant due to their excellent senses of sight, smell, and hearing.

History

Kig-Yars hail from the planet Eayn. An Avian/Reptilian species, they lived as pirates on the seas of their homeworld. Originally a splinter of many different tribes, they united to advance their species towards space-technology and settled on many small asteroids. Primarily used as scouts, shock troops, or defense; Kig-yar units are a force to be reckoned with. They are usually outfitted with a point-defense energy shield gauntlet paired with a variety of one-handed weapons. They have a bitter rivalry with the Unggoys, and have attempted to poison the Infusions aboard High-Charity which would have left them sterile; in retaliation for Unggoys destroying Kig-Yar nests.
