Elites, because on Lengendary, they work as a team. Me and my buddy spent over 15 minutes in one memorable fight with them, involving me trying to flank them and get doubleteamed, then they split up and cornered my partner after I died. He wormed his way out somehow, and I respawned without my pistol. After wasting 50 battery on my plasma pistol and my friend throwing grenades all around them, they retreated back to and area where they had reinforcements. We ended up with a warthog killing all the grunts and jackals, to find that an elite had stuck our vehicle. We managed to escaped unscathed, and retreated so our shield could recharge, when 4 elites set up a perfect ambush. We stuck 2 of the beasts, before my buddy fell down dead. I managed to escape again, and he respawned. Now that we had no access to a warthog or a pistol, we went through the water and hit the remaining two elites from behind. Without grenades and decent weapons, our focused fire on one of them took down his shield, but as we were about to finish him, he ducked behind a rock. But he relinquished his position, giving me a pistol. We then proceeded to kill them by my friend firing a plasma pistol shot, and me headshotting the elite just as its shield was destroyed. Because there was there was only one elite left, we easily overpowered him and got our warthog back.
Those were by far, the smartest enemies I had ever fought in an FPS.
