Because they are designed for flight. (They also use anti-gravity boosters to aid them...) Confine them to the ground and they will be practically useless.

Oh, well fair enough then.


I can't find anything to reference the anti-gravity boosters, but Drones come from a planet with twice the gravity of earth. They are capable of lifting a man off the ground.

I did find this quote about the planet. It has average surface temperatures of 29°C to 42°C (84.2°F to 107.6°F), and its gravity is two times that of Earth. This would present a challenge on the evolution of the wings of the Yanme'e, but it gives them excellent flight skills in the gravity of Earth. It's source is the Bestiarum

I dunno

But the way i see it:

Hunters>>>Brutes>>>Elites/Spartans>>& gt;Drones>>>>Grunts>>>Humans/Kig Yar>>>Prophets(the old grandpa versions)

Forerunners are probably above Spartan-Elite-Brute level
Well, if you look at it from a one species standpoint, Lekgolo would not be at the top. One worm does not possess more strength than a Kig Yar I would suppose. Everything else I can agree with, maybe bump the humans up to Grunt strength and have a 3 way tie between Drones Grunts & Humans.
Brutes aren't better than elites and spartans when it comes to their strength.

Um yes they are, that is like saying an elephant isn't stronger than gorilla.


John nearly got killed by a brute and only escaped due to having shields. Fred also stated that his team was to avoid fighting brutes in Hand to Hand at all costs.

Brutes>Elites> Spartans

Not to mention Truth said Tartarus was strong enough to rip a hunter apart.


And forerunners would be at the top since they are known to be atleast 12 feet tall with arms like tree stumps; and other physical descriptions speaking for how strong they are.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I'd put it as this:

Hunters>Brutes>Spartans/Elites>Humans>Jackals/Ski rmishers>Drones>Grunts

Of course it would vary between specific individuals. Like some members of some species may be stronger than those in the class above.

Grunts are actually stronger than humans, so are drones

I'd say skirmishers are as well.

To everybody saying an Elite is stronger then a Brute.

Brute's (and drones) come from planets with TWICE the gravity of earth. Elites come from a planet with... 1.3 gravity? (1 being earth like).

In a test of strength, the brute will come out over Elites, humans, and Spartans.

Note, drones are clearly not as strong as brutes, but they are far more agile then any of the other races, their flight abilities boosted when on lower gravity places.

I agree Cmdr, seems humans are only stronger than normal jackals,engineers and lekgolo.

GOOD SHIV! Te is a 4G planet, so it is highly possible that the nearly 5 foot worms are stronger than a human.

I could believe Drones. However, I doubt the stubby armed Grunts would have greater overall strengthening ability than humans.

Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Spartans barely rivaled Elites in strength with the assistance of armor, though our shield tech was superior (to some degree).

I can't imagine drones being stronger due to the fact that they'd have to have reduced body mass/density to allow for flying (basing this off what I know of local insect and avian physiology). Could be wrong though.

What muscles they have are probably stronger then a human's anyway. We know they can lift a human up while flying.

Also, grunts are actually 5'6" on average, and weigh 260 pounds (on average). I can tell you know they'd be short then me, but have more weight.

There strength has been described alot in the books actually but you don't read them ruby so you really wouldn't know anything outside halo 1-3.

The only game example is the fact they can hold rockets and fuel rods with one hand while it takes humans two (which was also covered in the books).

they are actually in comparasion to a gorilla in strength, just too damn cowardly and fearful.

This would only indicate strong muscles associated with wing movement, not over all strength, so I wouldn't agree that it would prove superior strength over humans as a whole.

unggoy should be above kig yar, humans and drones.They're built like little tanks

This is how it goes


Forerunners,Hunters,Brutes,Elites,Spartans,Grunts,skirmishers ,Drones,Humans,Jackals,Legkolo*


I seriously think that since the legkolo did evolve on a planet with FOUR G's that they must be pretty damn strong along with the fact they are nearly 5 feet.

  • 08.23.2011 12:25 AM PDT

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

The question wasn't a scale. The question was what each species could pick up, throw, toss and -blam!-.

That is the most retarded question which is why the topic changed.

I will tell you each listed race could toss a rock

Drones are evolved for flight, not for walking on land. They are not going to evolve capabilities that they are not going to use. Therefore you could expect them to be quite weak when walking.

Grunts come from a planet with a surface gravity of 0.7G. I really do not think that their muscles, if they even have them, will be as efficient as ours.

And Lekgolo are worms. How is a worm supposed to lift something?

I don't remember in what book, I think it's first strike, the Prophet of Truth states the Brutes are more efficient than the Hunters.
