Engineers are another race in the covenant that look like big floating sacks of air with skinny tentacles coming out of them. Their only purpose is to fix things, no matter what it is or who it is for. They understand forerunner, covenant, and human technology enough to fix whatever is broken. In the books they are harmless to MC and one even fixes his shield generator. They are part of the covenant but are only there to fix things, not fight. And there are a BUNCH of em.
I'm actually surprised we didnt see any in Halo since they would have been at a forerunner structure, but they may not have been designed or even thought of for the story yet.
