Everything you've wanted to know about elites [Lore] 

An explanation for the planet’s high gravity (as well as the ridiculously high gravity of other planets in the Halo universe compared to their natives (Doisac)) could just be the activation of the Halo array. When the rings went off they flooded the Universe with a ridiculous amount of radiation, which has its own gravitational weight. And when all the organic life absorbed that radiation and were later disintegrated, that radiation just presumably stuck around buried in the planet weighing it down. So given that Sangheili evolved prior to the Halo array’s activation and then were reseeded on their home world, perhaps they and other species in the Halo universe were made more muscular and resilient than their pre-activation ancestors because of the added gravity?

DLDouble G when I was researching it you are correct! The elites are heavily based on predator, the jaws, active camo, skins. Luckily it's not Arnold who fights an army of these things, but chief lol

DLDouble G nah predator is more badass

Tyler Moore I don’t think so.

XD

Hoo- Dini bet bro

Or that one 6 foot grunt, Stolt I believe

Uhhh gigantism elite? You mean like Ripa Morame? Dude was massive and was a murder machine.

Then you’ve never heard of Xytan Jar Wattinree. Dude was 11 feet or 3.5 meters tall.

Look up the arbiter in Halo Wars, Rippa was a giant amongst his peers.

@@casbah2075 rippa was surprisingly on 8'2" which makes him fairly tall but not necessarily massive ... Xytan is a much better example of a giant among his peers

Danzpo I knew this bio degree would come in handy eventually! Haha

Glad you like the video bro! and thank you!

Big D most likely.

I'll do you one better how do they eat

Are they generous and nurturing lovers?

@@fuzzydunlop7928 yes yes they are

Then I guess we're not so different, after all. (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ `)♡

Very honorable!

Warrior cultures are all the same, archetipically You could insert pretty much anyone there

@@carlosschwambach9213 SPHESS CHIHUAHUAS!

@@carlosschwambach9213 They have been seen to have a style of culture very similar to the Japanese in Legends, so, alien space samurai.

@@simbachvazo6530 Their clan structure is scottish.

plus if I recall, the legs shape makes it easier for them to run faster and longer distances

Roanoke Gaming faster maybe, but longer distances? I am no biologist, but if I remember correctly the layout of the human leg maximizes stamina while walking/running on two legs. Wouldn’t the digitagrade legs of elites burn more stamina as well?

Jackson Almodobar+ on the front of overheating, maybe they pant? I'm no biologist and im aware they are not mammalian by far. Another thought I had was an increased oxogen presence in their homeworld. Again I'm no biologist I just thought I'd add more to the conversation

trooper games even still, panting is no where near as effective as sweating, it’s why horses sweat too. Also I don’t believe reptilians can vent as much heat has a mammal like a dog can, but idk. The oxygen thing could be a factor, but then they would need to have some device to provide them with more oxygen on earth and earth like environments (which is largely were the elite are stationed in game) for them not to loose breath real quick on places like Reach, Halo, or earth.

Actually it's noted in the lore that elites have a hard time with ladders. Which is the reason that brutes will put ladders instead of gravity lifts on their ships just to spite the Sangheili.

Kig-yay would more than likely replace humans on 4chan as the dominant trolls.

Those are ankles, not knees.

Agreed!

my favorite elites are the reach elites

They gained a few pounds

Reject 343 embrace old school Bungie

I like the big ole scary reach elites

DrHotelMario Let just leave that behind.

I agree. Though fortunately humans are pretty imaginative, just scout the internet if you dare, friend.

all seven of them?

Or vaginas.

I would think they are like gators, kept inside until needed...

we need shorter elites

ok maybe lets be conservative and assume the chief is almost 7' 1" and arby is 8' 2"

@@jackcolson4745 why are we assuming?

@@jackcolson4745They're both 8ft tall

@@Super50ldier chief is 7'2 in his armor

thanks for the sub bro! I love all the different games, variety is the spice of life!

Russell thanks man! I think I've finally found my stride and research and video creation. Should be more coming out this weekend!

Looking forward to it sir!

Luckily I have an explanation for you, Ever wonder why when elites sit in a warthog they look like they are jacked up? and its not just their height either, Master chief can fit pretty well in a warthog but it appears elites almost sit on the tops of the back of their seats, as for the Tanks, I would say its the same deal, just more area for them to sit

Perhaps the tanks and warthogs are specially designed to fit the arbiter seen as the unsc already knows arbiters cause

The Arbiter wasn't working with the humans in Halo 2 yet he has no problem getting into and driving Warthogs and tanks an I highly doubt the UNSC would remake all of their vehicles to fit in a single elite.

Good point

49mozzer+ game mechanic, honestly its a game, for the sake of it I guess. In "real" life I think the sitting above the seat In the Hog is Likely idk about the tanks though.

Kaiju Tamer I really appreciate the kind words! It's comments like this that honestly inspire me to keep creating content, thanks bro! I begin working on it when I get off work today so hopefully it should be out by Saturday/Sunday!

Noah Skinner have... fun?

NOOOOOOOoooooooo......

Roanoke Gaming I’ve seen weirder my lil bro is a weeb

The Great Him 001 no it was some weird shit

There's an artist on tumblr called Rube, and they draw some sfw human and elites. Be careful though theres also a lot of nsfw

Time to break out the eye soap!

Roanoke Gaming Deviantart/e621 Porno?

They're more Saurian than anything, like Dinosaurs, who were also warm blooded.

For the sake of your sanity

What’s this? *iS tHiS sMuT?* *Me BrAiN hUrTs*

@@wyom2838 I prefer male Sangheili smut

@@blueshit199 I don’t remember making this comment

1.375 G. While a person would be able to survive those conditions for a little while, I imagine prolonged exposure would lead to increased pressure on the heart to pump blood to the brain which could leave to aneurysms in the aorta or blood vessels elsewhere! Plus armor and weapons carried on Sanghelios would be heavier and more difficult to manage. Human stamina would also be decreased. think about running in sand except EVERYWHERE lol

His body may have just adapted to the conditions the longer he was there but what do I know?

Well you've gotta remember that Humanity is a multi-planet species at this point so some people will live on worlds with lower or higher gravity than earth. This phillip bloke could've been from a human colony on a higher G world and thus be adapted to survive on bigger plannets like Sanghelios.

1.25 G

I always imagined their breath really stinks lol

I don't think that's anatomically possible

ThatGuyWhoAppearsEverySoOfften 1 wait..... how would you do that? I mean, would you just like, kiss the tooth at the top of one of the mandibles? Or like on the forehead? Would an elite even know what a kiss was? I DON'T NEED SLEEP, I NEED ANSWERS

@@Vegito_Fanpage the fuck is wrong with yall

@@entityw3974 really and truly, don't know.

glad you enjoyed it man!

I am sure your channel is legit man! but thank you for the compliment on my channel! I work really hard on these videos and they can be quite time consuming haha thanks for the sub broseph!

More like the lusty unngoy maid. (JOKE)

Something truly disturbing tbh, I don't think our DNA would really even be compatible

Roanoke Gaming I'll always wonder

Iderus Naimmee never even been to deviant art

Human sized elite w/ more slender bodies and more tan skin color. At least for me.

It wouldn't be able to survive.

It moves it's mandibles not like a Sangheili but like a human mouth, though this was an artistic choice by the director rather than a canonical lore perspective.

I cant release too much information about my job but I can tell you that you can work with microbes, work with animals, work in the wilderness, a biology degree sets you up with a lot of options!

Roanoke Gaming well, i am going to get into the gen-technologies in a few years

Classic aliens!

haha glad you like it my dude!

Very large foot bones! hooves even!

Seriously, why all the shit that sound wrong in this thread!

Humans seemed far more creative, adaptative and technologically adept to me Not all of it comes down to anatomy. And by God, I refuse to quote the stairs thing

2 years late but I'm adding my two cents. Elites may be physically superior to us in every way, but we're a bit more clever and cunning from what I've seen in lore. Elites in war have a very honorific system that revolves around following set rules of engagement, while we humans pay lip service to these rules while blatantly and obviously disobeying them. A perfect example of this would be how every covenant force lead by an elite would seem to follow the same strategy of applying force from the front and nowhere else (explaining why Regret, a prophet, managed to crack Earth's defenses with a fleet only 2% the size of the Fleet of Particular Justice on Reach.) Juxtapose this with humanity's varying and adaptive use of many strategies and you can see how we managed to hold out for as long as we did against the Alpha Bravos. One other thing of note is that Elites would rather die than to receive medical treatment in combat, so their casualties are usually deaths while ours can sometimes be frankensteined back together well enough to go back out and get vaporized again, thus giving us a slightly higher effective troop count than theirs in a 1:1 fight. A bit of a read, but from what I can tell it's all completely lore accurate and explains a lot of what was implied about the Human-Covenant War, so I hope that makes up for the extreme lateness.

@@sirfrancis8732 also, about they're honor bound society, I read that a group of elites took a group of marines off guard while they were gearing up, but then waited for the marines to get ready before fighting.

and thats why they think they are painting in blue...NOPE

Maybe that's why in a voice line, an elite asks a marine what his color of armor is in human language. "Red is the best color!"

With hardcore training, but you are not as viable as you once were, Elites are only middle aged at that point

absolutely!

oh man this was so long ago I barely remember it lol

Roanoke Gaming two replies? Really?! Wow awesome! Ah well I’ll take your word for it.

To my knowledge, they hold food with their bottom jaw and use the top to tear at the food and push it to their mouth.

Beacuse they were designed that way by the devs :v

Roanoke made this video when people haven't factored in the efficient breathing system and just theorized that oxygen was richer. He was just using the accepted kbowledge at the time.

well thats one way to do it!

Well the biology videos on spartans kind of go into that otherwise it would be just a straight up biology lesson! haha

Hmmm its a pretty old topic, but I believe I do touch on that

Brutes smack down elites quite easily it seems

@@RoanokeGaming would it be the same case for a large elite and normal to small sized brute

wait what

Still need to play that third person game!

I am not sure if I will ever get into TV shows or not but it is interesting seeing the longevity of an elite!

Roanoke Gaming fair enough but I’d definitely subscribe if you did that and yes it is👍🏻 infact I’m already considering subscribing mate you got a good channel👍🏻

Well if you find yourself enjoy the content then feel free too! I usually release a video every 3-5 days!

Roanoke Gaming epic😊 sorry for the late reply too😂😂😂

Umbra They have some weakness.

Htoo Doh not much weakness though.

Mickle Drayson a lot

Umbra damn I feel the pain

Dan Wallace And what? No

Hold up, 78+!? Dude still looks and sounds in his 30s at least!

Halo humans are future humans, I doubt there is much lore on it but I bet we found a way to live a little bit more by then.

Johnson is actually a Spartan 1, a predecessor to the Spartan 2 program. He was augmented and therefore could live for longer and was also much harder to be infected by the flood.

well I certainly could use some eye soap. I don't know why people would draw what they draw but....artistic freedom I reckon lol

@@RoanokeGaming if it can breath, someone wants to make lewds of it

it appears not to be the knee but the actual ankle of the creature, well, sort of, it looks like while the knee does exist it does not take the brunt of the impacts like on a human leg, the reverse joint connected lower does

-says wort wort wort

Would most likely make you very dizzy

Wow you're an idiot

@@consent933 no u

I believe they will tilt their heads back when they eat

Front heavy?

Notice how the elite leans forward so much with the backward bending legs it seems like it should just tip over
