There you go JoZh, here's your precious 'Make Your Own Covenant' thread.
I'm going to make my own Covenant (or Flood) now. Here they are:
The Infiltrator
The Infiltrator is best described as a cross between an Elite and a Jackal. Standing at 6ft 9 with its large riot-style energy shield this is definitely not a character you want to meet on a regular basis. The Infiltrator will work very will in a team with other Infiltrators, averaging at a team of 5. They will work together to advance on the enemy and wipe them out with presicion of their Plasma Rifles tucked in the notch of the shield. Although they don't have any all round body shielding like the Elites, they make up for it with their fast reflexes when using the energy sheild to protect themselves and their slightly thicker body armour.
The Infiltrator Combat Form (Flood)
Once taken over by a flood infection form, the Infilrator loses all its body armour, its energy shield and weapons. The transformation of the body returns the Infiltrator to all fours (like 4000 years ago) and gives it the ability to wall crawl for short periods of time due to its superior agility. Knowing that these guys exist puts a whole new twist on battle, as they will frequently run towards you in a spiral motion down corridors to avoid getting hit and cling to ceilings to wait for uninfected creatures to come along.
