- Thanks for watching Roannoke Gaming! Halo lore - Hunter (lekgolo) morphology and lore
In the immortalized words of Marcus Fenix "Anya, its a GIANT WORM" which has never been more true than with a lekgolo. Lets jump into these invertebrates turned tanks and what makes them tick.

Roanoke Gaming I think you deserve more subs you're pretty good
Roanoke Gaming I'd love to know about all of the types lekgolo.
Roanoke Gaming you will have one hell of a time researching the other types...unfortunately there’s literally 0 lore on them as far as I’m aware
Roanoke Gaming I definitely think you should talk about all forms of the hunters and I think it's worth mentioning you should speak about the hunter forms in halo wars 2. Colony, skitters and goliaths as well as the hunter captain are all interesting units. For instance did you know skitterers bond with the target you pick and can not be unbounded with said target until the mission is over. It's also worth mentioning colony seems to be a much smarter pair of hunters as before nobody could control skitterers until colony came along and did it.before the skitterers would go feral and rampant. Also vehicle symbiote suggests hunter warns for a time can optimize vehicles by crawling inside them. Just thought I'd share that. I hope you do more hunter videos they are by far my favorite covenant species.
Roanoke Gaming of your interested I wouldn't mind sharing what I know. Have a nice day.
One Hunter = half a colony.
2 hunters = a full colony.
When the first Hunter is killed, the remaining Hunter will go into a rage as you've just killed its brother.
Or half of itself!
It depends on age, if they are old enough they will split and spikes on backs indicate if they are 2 half colonies.
What about the Goliath from HW2
BROTHER
@@MasterHackleDown1 Full colony. Those things are massive.
Basically a giant walking brain, with armor and huge cannon.
EXACTLY!
i remember playing halo 2 and trying to protect every friendly unit as a side objective, for some reason i always put protecting the hunters first.
they were the most useful!
Me too. I think it's something about their bestial nature. They don't present as particularly intelligent (even if they actually are), so they kind of have that dog-like innocence where you don't want them to be hurt because they don't understand the complexity of what's happening.
Nishe Siel They were just Good Boys trying to help out.
Cause hunters are cool dawg
I mean you can try to protect the grunts, but either they have plasma pistols or needlers and are almost totally useless, or you give them a fuel rod cannon and they become somewhat useful....till they kill themselves and half your team because just like humans with rocket launchers, the game AI doesn't understand that firing explosives at something 1 meter away from you will kill you, and firing them at things 1 meter away from your buddy will kill your buddy. Hunters are not only useful but easy to protect, only thing you really gotta look out for is a brute going into berserk mode, they seem to be able to kill a hunter pretty well when they have lost their shit and went berserk.
What still puzzles me about killing hunters is if we kill the whole colony or just the damaged ones, with the others able to be repurposed?
I imagine its sort of like our cells in our body, kill enough of them, and we die
Roanoke Gaming or loose there sentient nature and revert back to being just worms
TREE MASTER BOB I'd say since it's a game and no real graphic nature it's hard to tell, but it's tough to kill a hunter with let's say a normal assault rifle or plasma rifle than a rocket launcher, flame grenade or even an energy sword, so it's probably killing the whole of them since they are closely bonded together.
thats kinda fucked up. if they form a communal intelligence, doesnt that mean those individuals remember being "killed" when the collective mind is destroyed?
Mr Jay White
I imagine because they lack any sense of intelligence before forming together, they probably don't have any "memories" as such. And when they do connect together, they become one, so like others have said they won't so much remember their "friends" being killed but rather part of their own body being hurt. You've got to imagine how long they created these colonies before encountering other species, their society has probably just accepted each Mgalekgolo as a single entity, rather than scores of entities attached together.
As for whether we're killing them all or not... they form a nervous system to effectively move. Parts of it may be damaged individually, but if you cause enough total trauma, then the entire thing just shuts down (complete death).
I actually was not aware of any other colony types besides Mgalekgolo. I would be very interested in a video going into the other types.
Did you know scarabs are lekgolo?and I am definitely considering putting together a video over the different types!
Roanoke Gaming So are Krakens.
I did know that some scarabs, particularly the ones seen in Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST are piloted by a lekgolo colony, but I did not actually consider that to be a type of colony in the same way a Mgalekgolo is. I suppose technically pilot colonies are different but I just never thought of them that way.
Of course, other scarabs can be piloted by more conventional means as seen in Halo 2.
Clyde Marshall Technically, the Lekgolo filled scarabs are far more practical as it moves as a living unit rather than being piloted by anyone inside the cockpit.
You're probably right about that. I'd still prefer one I was driving myself if I had one.
Wow I didn't realize that the worms in nightfall were buried on the ring by the forerunners. I just assumed they were some hunters that survived the Pillar of Autumn detonation and ditched their armor to survive the extreme conditions on the ring fragment, resulting in becoming feral. That's interesting to know. Great video!
thanks bro I am glad you liked it!
In what game is nightfall in? Which Halo?
Nico De La Torre nightfall was a Halo movie
Sounds a little like a Pitch Black ripoff if I'm interpreting the title correctly.
stormspotter67 o ok thanks
Good old thanos lekgolo *snap*
STILL. SO. MANY. WORMS.
It was the only way
I find it interesting that they only liked the elites. It's like the lekgolo were the elites version of a dog. Sangheili's best friend I guess you could say...
joe Anderson i can imagine a elite playing fetch with a hunter
Do you reckon they got belly rubs
And if so does that extend to the colony or each individual worm
@@ItsButterBean1020 I must know
A dog that can pilot tanks to ships, fire guns, can talk and always there to protect you.
Yeah I want that kind of dog. Imagine how easy it would be
Wow hunters are actually kinda of scary.
Imagining these worms in spaceships make me laugh
A ship sized Scarab...?
Your videos deserve much more views. Great quality!
I hope one day they do get those! But currently I seem to be experiencing a massive growth spurt on my channel so I am super content with these views haha thank you for the compliment!
Why do they see only the elites as worthy of talking to? Is it because the arbiter of the time was a good warrior? Would they talk to the master chief if in a situation to do so for those reasons?
Because Elites are the ones that bested them in combat and it seems they understand the social hierarchy with the elites and san shyuum at the top. Would they talk to humans? More than likely if they weren't attacking us, maybe something we will see in Infinite
Maybe the Demons, but the marines and ODST, I'd say that's unlikely.
I don't think they should disregard the marines and ODSTs. In H2, H3, H3ODST, and H4 i've seen plenty of regular troops with shotguns take down one hunter by the time I'm done killing the other one.
@@22steve5150 bc that's a damn video game. In lore Hunters were impossible to beat unless the UNSC used very very heavy weaponry or bombing runs or Spartans were involved even Spartans have a lot of trouble with hunters
They hate humans, so no.
Am I the only one who thinks a elite or human sized lekegolo, as a replacement of the elites or brutes in the covenant or unsc , would be cool
It woudl be cool but I wonder at the effectiveness, Lekgolo seem intelligent but perhaps they arnt as skilled and agile as the Elites
"replacement of the brutes in the unsc"
what.gif
That was my thought. For something that small they may have the sentience to create the form and achieve basic movement, but not the sentience to be particularly useful.
Is the reason that Mgalekgolos often attack in pairs still canon?
I read somewhere that if a Mgalekgolo colony grows big enough, it often splits into two normal sized colonies, working in tune with each other like telepathic twins.
It also said that when one of the pair falls, the other enters a state of rage.
I think this still stands. In every halo game to date Mgalekgolos have always been deployed in pairs, except on special occasions like with the Hunter Captain and Goliath in HW2 which i guess aren't technically Megalekgolos anyway. Some games, well, at least halo 5, even have the hunters enter a more aggressive state when their partner is killed.
+A Soviet Tank
Goliaths are unsplit Mgalekgolo Colonies; Hunter Captains are still Mgalekgolo, but with way more insane armor and shielding. They are both forms of Mgalekgolo, just in different shapes and sizes.
It's actuallly because one Hunter is only half a colony, that's why they're almost always deployed as a pair, and they go into a rage because you killed its sister colony.
It’s exactly as you said, don’t listen to anyone who says differently. The pairs are called Bond Brothers, btw :)
It's true when I play firefight on halo reach and fight a hunter they try to squish me but if they miss me they sometimes hit a jackal or grunt and obviously kill them. No concern what so ever.
i found your channel a few days ago and you really do your research and you make things like this easy to under stand especially the necromorph stuff cause despite playing all three dead space games i still had no idea what the hell i was fighting keep it up and enjoy anther sub
thanks for the sub bro! and I am glad you enjoy the content! I will keep bringing yall the lore seeing as you like it so much!
makes sense for the hunters to support "the great journey". even if they fully understand what it actually is, since their species will survive a galactic purge. leaving them the sole inheritors of all forerunner, covenant and terran science and infrastructure to do with as they please.
Hmm... 🤔
Biggest plot twist
The frame rate during gameplay on this video gave me a headache.
yah its pretty bad, was using a thumb drive to record haha
Roanoke Gaming oh lol
please do a video for every Type of colony, it sounds awesome. (i also wanted to say i really enjoy Your content, keep up the great work)
Glad you like it bro! I have been getting requests for the different types of colonies so I will see what I can turn up!
I doubt that the extended universe has enough info about the other types of colonies yet for you to make a video on them....but that's how it works with HALO, they grow the lore of their extended universe so damn slowly. I mean they still haven't given exact specs on weapon systems or even basic dimensions of most UNSC warships, let alone Covenant ones, and they've had YEARS to do this.
Thank you for doing this video. The Lekgolo are my favorite species from the _Halo_ franchise by far. You have a new subscriber.
I subscribed 2 days ago and I LOVE this video it brings new light and even greater respect for the Lekgolo's, as for the other lekgolo types I'd love to see you cover all of them whenever you have the time! Keep up the great work!
All types of lekgolo
I would love many more videos on the lekgolo and their different colonies. Thanks for this super interesting take on them, I just discovered your channel and you are doing great work! Well done!
You got me with the Halo and Gears videos, I'm subscribed
ayyyeee thanks for the sub bro! I will be coming out with some more Gears here soon!
I am going to be liking all of your videos and I'm DEFINITELY subscribing. There is NOT ENOUGH content like this on CZcams. LOVE IT! Keep it up, broseph!
Thanks bro! I appreciate the sub but more importantly I am glad you like the content!
Thanks 4 all the hard work.
Your channel is one of the best I've ever encountered.
dude your channel is awsome.
Instant subsribe
thanks bro!
Do a video on the Thanolekgolo
Awesome video!
11:38 that was a good grenade toss. Also great video lekgolo are very interesting.
haha thanks bro, i was super proud of that and I am glad you found the video interesting! My new videos do not suffer the frame rate issues the old ones do haha
I found you channel about 3 month ago and subbed instantly keep up the good work
Thanks bro!
I love challenge the hunters brought to Halo. In Halo .C.E they were incredibly fun to fight but I'm happy with the increased difficulty and behavior changes that have taken place. The Hunters on the legendary difficulty setting in Halo 5 take real work to defeat.
I wouldn't know, I just instantly die haha
Roanoke Gaming
Love your channel man. You do excellent work. ☺
Im fucking loving these lore videos , im happy i found your chanel
I am happy you found my channel too! I hope you enjoy them bro!
I like the new title screen man
I would be interesting to see a video discussing the various types of Lekgolo
I can see if I can pull up enough information to put together a video!
Keep the good work man! 👍
Thanks bro!
Eyyy Khanto and Thanos on Halo! New most ambitious crossover
You, sir, have just earned yourself a subscriber for talking about my favorite halo alien:)
Also, please delve into the other worm peopleXD
thanks for the sub bro! Any suggestions on worm people? haha
Haha I just want to know all about the letgoloes, and an interesting game to do a lore video I think would be scorn, it's not out yet, but when it is you might wanna take a look
Wait hold up, so there's a super sized version of the hunter called a *Behemoth?*
Can’t believe I didn’t know these video had been up for years and I didn’t notice
Thanolekgolo!
Yooooooo i know this is an old video so I don't know if you'll see this but, I just watched every one of your Dead Space videos and I love this channel, man! I was just watching Halo lore and It occured to me that like, nobody has ever mentioned the Hunters before. Ever, and I was super excited to see that you did a video on it! Thanks for the time and effort you put into the videos dude, you're awesome.
glad you enjoyed it bro! I may have to update those at some point, they are Rouuuuughhh looking haha
As for doing videos for the different types of Legos, uh yes please.
Also, I remember reading that the lekgolos are hyper aware of their surroundings, so it could possess some really astounding senses.
So could the Lekgolo infinitely form into bigger things and become smarter the bigger they get...Planet sized Lekgolo, anyone?(Would a planet sized Lekgolo colony be as smart as a Gravemind or even Keymind?)
I doubt it because they would still use a significant portion of their biomass for standard life processes and not dedicate all of it to thinking. It'd probably still be very smart tho, but you'd also need to shovel massive amounts of iron into it to keep it alive.
Nah, a planet covered with lekgolo maybe, but a planet made of biomass is just a logistical nightmare.
Actually, I was looking at the halopedia and it states that lekgolo can only combine up to a limit. It never stated what that was, but I assume it was less than planet size. Even though I wonder what the biggest lekgolo forms are like.
My guess would be something around twice the size of a scarab
I'm a little late (2 years), but I wanna see a scientific breakdown of every single one of these hunter worms. Great video 👍
that triple at the end was sick as fuck
ayyeee i remember getting that and wondering what even happened haha
Great video, I want a video on the different types (:
Thanks bro! and I have considered that! Definitely a possibility
Aww it's baby roanoke
I'm very interested in more videos if the other forms of lekgolo
War poetry. That’s a new one.
nice video, I learned some stuff
DLDouble G excellent! If you like the halo lore, I am in the process of making a video over the sangheili now, should be out Wednesday/Thursday
06:50 Please make a Video(s) on the different Colonies of Lekgolo.
I found this creature quite interesting and like the way you structure all of your videos. I would enjoy the rest of them being explained.
I have been considering it but footage would be difficult
"Medium sized" "12 lbs"
An impressive species to be sure.
This is satisfactory how much human currency will ensure this trade
You need a few more subs man!
Hopefully ill get there one day! but thank you for the sentiment!
On book 2 loving it so far!
Wow another great vid
Thanks man! I am really glad you liked it, next halo video should be dropping on Friday discussing the Spartan programs, Let me know what you think of it when it does!
Yay and they just keep getting stronger every game
9:08 the fuck? thats new. of all the lekgolo explanation videos ive seen, i havent heard that one before. interesting.
6:32-6:44, Ya did pretty good. I'm smacking an 8.5/10 on ya for ya effort.
great video
Thanks bro!
that would be cool if lekgolo turned into a emperor worm like in dune and can see into the future
One idea I had would be more Skyrim and elder Scrolls lore. Like some of the creatures from solsthime
Nice vid I like the new intro
oh man, this one is very old but the newer videos I actually dropped the intro and just get right to it haha
THAT ENDING OMG
You should do a video explaining the different lekegolo types
I may be able to do that in the future!
Roanoke Gaming epic😄😄😄😄😎😎😎😎 also would a brute win in a fight against a elite
easily, while an elite is strong, a brute is much stronger, and also much tougher to kill
Roanoke Gaming ahh that’s kinda upsetting but understandable what about a human vs a elite then ?
Mgalekgolo is pronounced with the nasal "ng" in mga. It came from the Tagalog word (mga) in the Philippines which changes the number of a noun from singular to plural when attached. Basically, lekgolo becomes plural when attached with mga. So if lekgolo means (a) worm, then mgalekgolo just means worm(s).
Great series. Keep it up. Subscribed!
I checked with my mother (cebuano) and it seems it is also an Ilonggo (neighbouring language/dialect) term, kind of. It means something roughly like "those that fight/are aggressive". So you could suggest that Mgalekgolo form would mean something like "warrior form". Pronounced as "M-nga-lek-go-loh" with a hard emphasis on the "loh". Ng as in the final phoneme in 'bring'.
Was this lore established after Halo CE? Im curious why hitting 1-2 worms in the neck or back will kill it entirely. Im guessing maybe when they combine they create a single being that it requires every worm originally used to create the being, Similar to "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link". One part is broken so the rest are useless?
Or possibly the species' downside is when they form a single being, it is a single being until they choose to deform, meaning that if they die as a single being they are treated as a single being and not multiple creatures as one. Roughly like when you die in the Avatar state youre fucked, lol.
Either way killing one brother causing another to go berserk is kinda sad.
Since it is a Spartan doing the hitting, maybe the blow sends a shockwave through the soft body mass that kills the closest worms and stuns many of the rest of them, and by the 2nd or 3rd hit enough worms are dead that though many of the worms are still alive, there aren't enough of them to maintain the hunter form, either due to not enough worms to have the strength to move that form (mechanical stress of maintaining the hunter structure and carrying that armor plating and fuel rod gun) or not enough worms to have the hive mind sentience to be able to form an effective super-organism or function in that form in a meaningful way.
it was simply game mechanics in Halo 1. All the orange of the hunter counted as a body, neck, stomach, back. Any hit there did damage as if it was a body, worse, it was supceptible to headshots, hence you can shoot a hunter with a sniper rifle or pistol and kill it with one hit. Same counted for melee.
Halo 2 had Hunters that were invincible to melee whatsoever from the player, even energy swords and bruteshot melee didnt do anything.
BOSSMAN!!! make a video on all the variations
Definitely considering that bro!
The dead space art has six fingers and I needed to get that off my chest
I like em. Lekgolo, you say? Marvelous little bastards.
Now that I think about it, the Flood could mold Pure form and create their own Scarabs, instead of Lekgolo form this Sacarab would have a huge Pure Flood form inside.
I love them and kinda compare them to predators in its hunter form
Sounds like an Original archetype to make the Flood into what it is known today,
Mg'lekgolo communicate by vibrating their bodies. That's why they have such a basic language and one or two syllable names
reproduce asexually? but my halo 2 guild book says that they "mate early and form lifelong partnerships"
Interesting! I wonder if the lore was changed? tho the hunters that are seen together are actually 1 colony
Hunters and Elites are best buddies.
i wanna see the thano lekgolo, wanna know what they'll do when they have all the infinity stones
So they're a bunch of small organisms getting together to make a bigger organism. Humans would inevitably find out how they communicate and work to disrupt them. They'd just fall apart. Or you could just freeze them. Maybe. I dunno, never met one.
The plasma grenade at the end tho👌
I couldn't not include it haha casual braggin
Roanoke Gaming you reply fast😂
Like damn I was expecting a few days
Back when a twelve minute video was a “long one”.
7:11
WHERE IS THAT PIC FROM
THE ARTIST DID AN AWESOME JOB
Cover each kind !!!
Halo 4 on legendary is hell... especially with the worm guys
Prophet: No! We can’t let the Lekgolo live! They destroyed the sacred artifacts!
The Arbiter: Haha big worm go wiggle wiggle.
U get a sub for awesomeness
Thanks for subbing bro!
Nobody:
Me: Let’s make a flood scarab
well thats a fucking opening, also i think they do care about the elites, because they were tamed by one, thats a theory, but in my opinion, it actually makes a lot of sense, because thats something anyone would do, if someone helped you out at all, you would have the utmost respect for them
Honestly I still find the fact they can interface with technology to be one of the most fascinating things about them. I still wonder to this day if it would be hypothetically possible for them to interface with cybernetics and, if so, what that might ultimately mean. Could an elite meld minds with a colony of Lekgolo? A human? What would that even be like? How would that feel? Would you just be able to communicate with them or would your consciousness become one with the greater whole? I'd really love to know honestly.
The lekgolo have always been one of my favorite creatures from the halo universe so I really enjoyed this. Thanks man. ^.^
Glad you liked it bro!
I would say do all the letgolo types( I'm pretty sure I spelled that wrong) but that seems like it would be too time consuming so maybe do the rarest or most cool looking kind.
ive gotten requests to cover all the Lekgolo so it maybe something I do in the future!
Awesome
The hunters are the phrase "I don't care" incarnate
My favorite colony bois
All of them
A bit of brains will kill any tank
Remember the HUGE hunters from Halo Legends:The Duel? The Arbiter easily killed those behemoths while I struggle to kill the regular ones on normal
not everyone can bet he arbiter haha
