Ok this will probably get locked, but maybe someone might be able to answere acording to the books. Can they? if they do, can you tell the diff b-tween male and female. can the races intertween and make half breeds? Would you screem in terror or laughter if you seen a Brute mixed with a grunt :)

in the books it says nothing about the sex of the covies.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

This is sort of a common sense question. It's like asking if a Dog and an Elephant could mate. They can't. They are all VERY different types of speices. For one, of course the mate, how else do they reproduce? (One could argue the whole lot is a s e x u a l though but I doubt that). And perhaps why we have never seen a female of any type is perhaps due to thier religion, they may feel that women are not allowed to be part of the 'Great Purge' of Humanity. That to do the God's work is a man's job. I don't want to start a sexist debate I am merely stating an assumption.

I am guessin that all the elites are male (by the way they all act in the book, the grunts sound like they could be either, the hunters are probably male judging by the fact that they are "bond brothers" jackels we got no idea's about probably male

I think Elite's are the most similar to Humans. So, they reproduce in "That way". Yeah.

I've always wondered about covie genders too. I mean, what if they're all one gender and reproduce with themselves. Some animals do that. O.o

Jackals may male and female because the way they wear their "headgear" some have mohawk, some have skulls, that may be male or female ways to signify. Or maybe their like orcs and spawn more covies out of the ground.

There are female Hunters as well as the male ones from the books, don't ask me to look now, but it says stuff using 'he' & 'she' when talking about different ones.

The others should also have both in, though not shown in the books.

Maybe they're hermaphrodites, the other species besides hunters I mean.

Actually, scratch the hermaphrodite theory. The grunts suck on food nipples, so I assume they have mothers. Oh, god no! I've just permanantly stuck the vision of a grunt with boobs in everyone's minds! Damnit! Hermaphrodites don't need to have s.ex to reproduce, they just pop out the babies, worms are herma's I think.

I know it sounds gross, but you asked. And what was that whole "Coming from you" thing about? Are you calling me stupid again?

The webmaster actually answered this question once elites are hermaphrodite and they like puke into little hole in another elites shoulder fertilizing eggs there then like the back splits open and a new elite comes out killing the old elite i think but more then one elite can be created during mating. As for all the others jackals and hunters i think would mate kinda like animals on earth and grunts and hunters who knows.

So I was right about them being Herma's. Un-scratch my theory! Oh, and that was an informative, yet really -blam!- gross post.
