Okay. While reading The Fall of Reach for the umpteenth time, I came across something that interested me. The following data has been compiled from many sources, such as The Fall of Reach, The Flood, and the manual that comes from the game. The Chief stands at approximately seven feet. So says the Cryobay tech, Sam. In the game manual it states that Elites stand at approx 8' 6". But then in The Fall of Reach, later in the book when John and Linda are in the space dock trying to secure the NAV database on board the Circumference, the Chief encounters an Elite for the first time. And it says that the Elite stands more than a meter taller than him! Which would have the Elite standing at 10' 6" approx. What's up with this? Shed more light on this if you would.

You've done some research. Yes, the Grunts stand at five feet. The Jackals are 5' 8" approx. And the Hunters are 12', but they retract to about 8' when in combat.

Maybe it is because the slouch, or maybe its bull-blam!- or a typo.

All i know is that the hunter is over 12 feet tall when standing straight up
