Huragok have small, elongated heads with six dark eye-like sensory nodes, and four tentacles that can split into very small, microscopically fine [[Wikipedia:Cilium|cilia]].

While Huragok have the ability to adapt to survive on any power source, they prefer a kind of sugary yeast nutrient paste. When this sludge-like food is not readily available, Huragok will gladly consume any sugary food. On one occasion, [[Requires Adjustment|a Huragok]] even requested that a slice of birthday cake be puréed for it to consume. However, if the need arose, a Huragok could forgo food altogether and adapt to draw energy from a power outlet.<ref name="TW15">'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''Chapter 15''</ref><ref name="MD2">'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''Chapter 2''</ref> | While Huragok have the ability to adapt to survive on any power source, they prefer a kind of sugary yeast nutrient paste.

As a result of their biomechanical nature, Huragok possess the ability to interface with electronic forms of data storage, "downloading" data directly into themselves. They appear to be able to "read" biological life-signs as well; during her time within [[Shield World 006]], [[Lucy-B091]] was analyzed by a Huragok, who scanned her brain activity in an attempt to determine the cause of her [[posttraumatic vocal disarticulation|vocal disarticulation]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 329''</ref> Huragok can also be trained to sense signals broadcasted on a specific frequency by Forerunner technology in need of repair.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 112-113''</ref> Huragok are capable of self-repairing all but the most catastrophic physical damages inflicted upon them, as long as the individual has access to a sufficient amount of raw materials. Huragok can also repair each other if they have access to at least ten percent of the damaged individual's original mass.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}{{Ref/Reuse|Bestiarum}} | As a result of their biomechanical nature, Huragok possess the ability to interface with electronic forms of data storage, "downloading" data directly into themselves.
