Basically, if you had the chance to make your own Covenant species for Halo what would: they look like/rank be/specialization be?

If it was up to me I would create a huge reptilian powerhouse that resembled something like a mini T-Rex named Kosmosaurus.
Their planet is very much alike Earth in every way and is basically what would of have been the result if an asteroid never hit Earth. This means huge reptiles still rule the planet, much like dinosaurs and instead of humans there are the Kosmosaurus. Due to this, the large majority of the biodiversity of the planet is reptiles and due to the Kosmosaurus being the most physical supreme race in existence (as a result of their extreme hostile biodiversity and environment), they see themselves as being the pinnacle of physical sentient evolution.
Their size would be larger than a Hunter and would possess a huge amount of strength, allowing them to crush anything put in their way and deliver one hit kills. They would be a lot more agile and faster too, being able to jump and sprint major distances. This would make them the most deadliest species in the halo universe.
The only reason they are part of the Covenant is due to being under the rule of the Elites before the Covenant formed. The Elites came to these beasts while they were still in the tribal stage. The Elites organized them into a powerful fighting force and the two species bonded immediately. Even so much so that the Elites were held as Gods in the Kosmosaurus's society. Another reason for their deep respect for the Elite's it that in hand to hand combat an Elite once killed a Kosmosaurus, making an Elite more deadly in a sense than a Kosmosaurus.
The Kosmosaurus are hated by the Prophets as they don't follow them or their religion, they only follow Elites. This disobedience makes them a waste of a warrior and they tend to use up most of their time by doing labour on Elite ships.
Though when they do fight they are deployed as commandos, especially for destroying flood nests as for some reason all the indigenous reptilian species of their planet posses external(like thick hides)and internal defenses that would render the flood threat non-existent to them.
They fight along side the Elites in the events in Halo 3.

So what would your idea be/look like? Give me your ideas. I've put up a poll so I can see if my idea was good.

Mine would be a race simalar to the humans, but smarter, more extensive, and decendants of the forrunners themselves. tThey would look nothing like humans in the sense that they are bigger more muscular and different color. They would basicly be like a more advanced version of the Avatar peoples (Blue, bigger) but with forrunner type buildings and plasma weapons, and our knowledge of them is little because of them being across the covenant from us. that is my Covenant character.

I think the covenant could use a natuarally stealthy, aquatic race that may not be fish-shaped overall, but has sharklike shapes and viperfish/anglerfish like details. Since SPARTANS can't swim, it makes sense that they wouldn't have been encountered in the game, except possibly in passing in Halo 2 when you take the underwater wonkavator.

I like that idea very much

Good ideas guys.

Online Gaming's pretty much like a zombie movie. There are a lot of mindless idiots roaming around but you find some survivors on the way.

If you're interested in vs threads, here's a sweet little group for you to join

mine would probably be some sort of arachnid humanoid called yiargz or slicers to the humans. Theyre equal to the elites combat wise and they are definatley better than the brutes. they despise yanmees(drones) as they are humanoid flys, and as we all know spiders eat flys. they have four spider like legs a sort of humanoid body with scythes as hands. they are only melee but they make up for this with theyre tough armour and agility. they also spin webs to temporarily stop a spartan in their tracks.

"Question. Which Spartan is best?"
"That's a ridiculous question."
"False. Master Chief."
"Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought."
"Spartans shoot Sangheili. Spartans. Sangheili.....Battle Star Galactica."

Elves, like from Lord of The Rings. They would be space elves though, and instead of the standard bow and arrow, they would have space bows and space arrows. It would be awesome. And they would be able to fly. Also they would have big beards and use axes! Space axes! Almost like an energy axe. That would be awesome. They would have very furry feet and would live in little space Shires and drink Space mead in space-pint-form.

Mine is like a flame trooper. It's healmet looks like a skimisher`s. It's chest armor is like a grunt`s an an elite ultra`s. it`s arms armor are exactly like a hunter`s sheild arms and it`s leg armor is like a mixture of an elites and jackels. it is musculare and hieght is between that of an elites and brute/hunter.
