Elites are a reoccurring species of alien warriors present in every ''[[Halo (disambiguation)|Halo]]'' video game, often serving as the enemy's mainline infantry and sometimes appearing as allies.

==Universe and lore==

==Overview==
The '''[[Sangheili]]''' serve as enemies in most of the ''Halo'' games, and as allies in ''[[Halo 3]]''. The Sangheili are depicted as very formidable warriors, displaying superb fighting proficiency and tactical mindset to effectively overwhelm their foes. Depending on the rank and role of the player, Sangheili warriors can serve as the most challenging opponents encountered in the games, by being able to quickly defeat the player to impede their objectives. Conversely, they can act as very reliable allies, arguably more so than the [[Marines]], as the additional energy shielding in their armor and increased physical capabilities can grant them additional benefits that a normal human soldier otherwise lacks.
