| | Swarmlord is a [[Mgalekgolo]] rank in [[Jul ‘Mdama’s Covenant]] that are encountered in [[Warzone]] simulations. Some Swarmlords are [[Magsanggalang]], [[Magtanggol]], [[Makipagtunggali]] and [[Nakagagalit]].<ref>''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''</ref> |
| '''Swarmlord''' is a [[Mgalekgolo]] title for elders who lead swarms of Lekgolo.{{Ref/Mode|Id=H5G|H5G|Warzone}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Myriad|HINF|[[High Value Target]] dossier, Myriad}}

| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Characteristics===
| |
| Swarmlords consist of the two individual members of a given Mgalekolo bond brother pairing, each demonstrating a number of behavioural characteristics different to standard Mgalekgolo. Rather than simply acting as a hivemind following orders, Swarmlords tend toward a more individualised form of identity and intelligence.{{Ref/Reuse|Myriad}} As such, Swarmlords tend to find themselves leading forces of other Lekgolo such as the [[Hordeworms of Svir]], or the detachment of Lekgolo deployed by the [[Banished]] on [[Installation 00]]. They are capable of demanding a level of coordination from Lekgolo not afforded to regular commanders, such as forcing bond brother pairs to form a [[Goliath]] form even at their own expense.{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Phoenix Log|Detail=Colony}}{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Phoenix Log|Detail=Goliath}}
| |
| | |
| In the case of the Swarmlords employed by [[Ke 'Nzahz's Evocati]], they don [[Ultra-class armor]] with white colouration and blue-purple lights. Additionally, these Lekgolo are purple in colouration as opposed to the usual orange.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} Swarmlords in Banished service display comparatively little morphological or visual differences compared to standard Mgalekgolo.

| ===Known Swarmlords===
| |
| By [[2560]], a handful of Swarmlords have been encountered by the [[United Nations Space Command]], and recorded by [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] analysts - who noted their behavioural differences.{{Ref/Reuse|Myriad}} A handful served in a [[Covenant remnants|remnant faction]] of ex-Covenant [[Evocati]] led by [[Ke 'Nzahz]],{{Ref/Reuse|Myriad}} and were later incorporated into [[War Games]] simulations for training purposes.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} Two Swarmlord bond-brother pairs serve in the Banished.
