Subject: Elite Skull

I noticed that the Elite skull from the legendary symbol is really long, like the Alien skull from Aliens, but in the game, their heads are not the same shape and the only way for the skull to fit is if it went into their necks, yet their necks are flexible. Does anyone have an Elite skeleton image?

*whispers* The Elite pervs are coming, get out while you can, this is your first, last, and only warning!

Strange... Never made the connection, perhaps the bobs and rangers and whoever arent really elite, but another covenant species completely... Doubt it though.

Also the knives are super long... More like swords...
Would be neat if halo 4 has mc using sword combat against aliens... The non purple kind... Imagine the assassinations with a knife/sword that big.

That is because the Legendary's Emblem ain't an Elite, bro?...

Well first off, who ever said that was an Elite skull?

Secondly, keep in mind that image was made famous for Halo CE back in the day-day, when they hadn't quite settled on or even considered what Elites look like without a helmet on, officially or un. Fits the profile for CE Sanghelli. A stretch, but not far off.

I agree to an extent with the ideas posted by this user.

The Legendary-Plate is a Flood-Parrasite?...

According to Halopedia, who apparently goes lengths to find citations. Also, what other species has four mandibles in Halo?

or, it could be because the skull is tilted.

Actually if you look up pre-CE development vids there are some instances where Chief fights some Elites with a machete(spelling?) type thing like those swords. Its pretty cool and it would have been awesome if they kept it in.

^I just recently said that it was a Flood-Parasite. But I guess that everybody just ignored?...

It definitely isn't a Flood infection-form. It's been an Elite skull since forever, it's just tilted forward so it looks a bit longer. And if you really think it's an infection form just look at the bullet hole in it-an infection form would have popped.
