We should know better, because we are better.

343 did it. They got Bear to write the book, not Bungie.

Maybe that's just it's armor.

Reportedly, Precursor are so alien we would have no idea what they're capable of.


Interesting. I read up on Halo Wikia (lol, call me a nerd if you want) that they might have been the creators of the Flood.

from what i understood in the book, they turned into the flood...

The exact creation of the Flood I believe is unknown. All we know is that they started out as small bacteria/powder that later on mutated when combined with human pets.

OT: It kinda bugs me too, but, could be what the guy a couple posts above me said.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

How rude! But from what we've seen in the halo-universe, all the species that seem to have intelligence are humanoid(save for Brutes and hunters :P). Also, does anyone know how they died out??

How are Brutes not humanoid again? And you said all that seem to have intelligence are humanoid? How are the buggers and Jackals humanoid, again? And don't even get me started on the Elites. And the Prophets? Lol.

The only race in the Covenant to resemble a "humanoid" figure is a Brute, and even then...

I rule the midnight air, the destroyer, die by my hand, I am Creeping Death.

do you understand what a humanoid is???

and the precursors were the race before the forerunners, I THINK they even created the forerunners, and the forerunners rebelled for some reason (Dont remember why I think different beliefs) and killed them all?

not sure

Precursors supposedly created Forerunners, Humans, Flood and others. Forerunners were really weirdly genetically diverse in build, height and intelligence in ways not totally detailed. Perhaps they were following the precursors principles. If that's so then the example of how a precursor looks may not even be a fair representation of a typical precursor.
