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.
