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, with most breeds standing well over 13ft and a minority oddly standing at 11.5ft.
Their planet is very much alike Earth in every way except bigger 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 are reptiles and due to the Kosmosaurus being the most physical supreme race in existence (as a result of their extreme hostile biodiversity and environment, this factor could also be used as a story twist involving forunners or precrusors), they see themselves as being the pinnacle of physical sentient evolution, which can lead to over-cockiness with younger ones and confusion when face to face with big elites like Ripa who had once killed on with his bare hands that got in his way.
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 though not to the degree an Elite can. 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, which caused tribal factions as it contradicted their universal sense of self phyiscal prowess. Another reason for their deep respect for the Elite's it that in hand to hand combat Ripa once killed a Kosmosaurus, making an Elite more deadly in a sense than a Kosmosaurus, which ultimaly ened the quralls between the factions and their ideaology to some degree.
The Kosmosaurus are hated by the Prophets as they don't follow them or their religion, they only follow Elites (this made their homeworld a prime target during the civil war). 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. <<< could again use this as a story twist
They fight along side the Elites in the events in Halo 3. They only seem to dislike prohets. They usally go out their way to help grunts and drones as they feel it is their duty to keep as many comrades alive as possible regardless of homeplanet. Jackels and skimishers are favoured to as they remind them of raptor-like animals they keep as pets back at home. They even did't mind brutes but when they learned of their betrayal of the elites they would always make them prime targets on the battle field.

So what do think about my idea and what would your idea be/look like? Give me your ideas.

Race (As classified by Humans)- Sangheilli B. Shared ancestory with Elites, but evololed in isolation.

Highest Armor (Arbiter equiv.)- Here

Language/ Accent- They all speak with Morgan Freeman's voice.

[Insert something funny]

Race: "Crawlers" or Insec from the planet Huldarus 9

Half Sentient /creatures descovered by the Covenant after the discovery of the Drones. The Insec, or as human marines would one day call "Crawlers," are predatory superiors to the drones. The Crawlers have 6 arms and 2 legs in which they use to crawler up trees and walls to capture there pray. The Covenant would use these creatures to exterminate ships and local areas of all human life, or to remove bodies or clear bodies.

6 foot 10 in sized, mostly gray or dark brown. Rare cases gold and are 7 foot. Stand on there hind legs, but are know to go berserk and go on all 8 to gain speed. Bright red eyes and open mouths.

Only use Plasma Pistols, Needlers, or Plasma Repeaters if gold.

Think spider standing up
