A blood type is a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells. The blood type is often included on identification patches or on tattoos worn by military personnel, in case they should need an emergency blood transfusion; certain variants of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR]] and [[ODST armor|ODST]] armors, for example, are equipped with MEDREF labels displaying the blood type of the wearer. Individuals with known blood types include: | A blood type is a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells.

*In ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', the word ''[[Wiktionary:Ichor|ichor]]'' was in some cases used as a synonym of the word blood.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 27''</ref> The word "ichor" originates from Greek mythology, where ichor was the golden blood of the Greek Gods of Olympus. | |||
*The blood and the amount of blood of Covenant foes changes during the course of the three Halo games. For example, Grunts, Elites, Hunters and Jackals bled profoundly when meleed in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', and yet, in ''Halo 2'', the player must shoot the corpse in order for it to bleed. In ''Halo 3'', the amount of blood is lessened dramatically, but is given in greater detail. Grunt blood also seems more viscous, as opposed to slightly watery looking in the earlier games. | *The blood and the amount of blood of Covenant foes changes during the course of the three Halo games.
