Through out the game you fight diffrent aliens but they all have diffrent color of blood besides the elites and Jackles. Now I think that the 2 are the same speices only the Jackels are the 1st form and the elites are the 2nd form.

The Covenant are a collection of species who are focused on collecting Forerunner artifacts and ridding the universe of Human life.

Take a look at a Jackal and an Elite. They are totally different. Elites are much taller than Jackals, Jackals have a different shaped head to Elites, Jackals and Elites have different body shapes.

It is true that all (or most) species on Earth have red blood, so I'd point to Jackals and Elites coming from the same Planet. In my opinion, I reckon the The Prophets started off the Covenant by enrolling Elites and Jackals first, then Hunters and then Grunts. They saw the Grunts as an easy target to enroll because although they were weak, they have huge numbers. So although they were allowed into the Covenant, they are the inferior species because they are most weak overall.

PS. I wouldn't guess when the Brutes and Engineers would be enrolled into the Covenant because I haven't seen them in battle and therefore seen how they are treated by others. I would guess they are treated quite highly because Engineers are great at fixing thing and Brutes are probably the strongest species (according to what people have told me, people who have read the books).

If they were related, then their heads would have the same basic shape. As you can see, that is not the case. The jakcal has more of a bird type skull, with something that resembles a beak. The elite, on the other hand, has a jaw that is split into four.

Actualy if you look under the armor of an elite, the the shape or the face is very similar.

Alright I'll give one reply what you think. Now let's say these aliens are related now during the trasformation the body chages the mouth grows shorter, the Jackle grows taller, the head grows into a diffrent shap, and the mouth startes cracking. Let me know what you think.
