| ==Jackal Zealot in Reach?==
| |
|
| |
| As most of you know in Reach Jackal Minors have blue Defense Gauntlets and Majors have red Defense Gauntlets that turn blue when they have taken enough damage. Majors also have shoulder pads that the Minors do not possess. One day as I was playing Reach on the level PoA, on drydock there were three Jackals that appeared to have orange shields. When the shields took enough damage they turned a light violet color. However, as I examined their bodies they appeared to be Jackal Majors. I thought it was just the lighting in the area; but to make sure, I killed just one of these "orange shield Jackals" and then quit. when I looked at the stats it registered as a "Jackal Hero," surprisingly. Next I tried killing just a blue shield/red shield, respectively. They both registered as "Jackal Infantry".
| |
| My point is, could these orange shields be the elusive Jackal Zealot?--[[User talk:TK 234|One who survived]] 17:36, 9 November 2010 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| Maybe, though it could have been a glitch, as Jackal Snipers also register as Jackal Heroes, but I understand your point...in fact, I'm surprised that nobody noticed this before. -xxgamernerdxx
| |
|
| |
| Note: Upon further investigation, I have found that Jackal Majors actually register as "Jackal Specialists". My apologies --[[User talk:TK 234|One who survived]] 19:49, 20 December 2010 (EST)

| Actually, I think they're all the same, in speed and endurance. Higher ranking ones (purple/orange shields) seem to be better at dodging and more skilled at staying behind the shield, but not by much. -- [[User:Druin-209|Druin-209]]

| Actually, I'm going to have to disagree with both you gentlemen. You see, the "pads" are there as a sort of protection against the spikes of the male when Jackals are mating. Why protect something that's already armor? The only reasoning that I can see for having the helmet is the most straightforward one, to protect their heads. - Esq Vratum

| == Teeth ==
| |
|
| |
| Could Jackals use their teeth to bite other people?
| |
|
| |
| Of course they can, but with the modern armor and such, I doubt they bite enemies very often, unless they are left defenseless and the Kig-yar feels like prolonging the victims agony. -Esq Vratum

Halo Helljumper #2 has these as well, where Jackals kill a bunch of ODST's with them.

| ==Other jackal species==
| |
| I found an article about the jackals on waypoint, and they used the latin name of Lacerta erectus to or indicate either another sub-species of jackal or a different species altogether. However, it could also be it is just a discrepancy about the jackals' latin name. I want to know what is most likely before I make a new article altogether. here's the link: http://halo.xbox.com/en-au/intel/related/text/kig-yar/9b24ebed-1954-471b-908d-951528e8120c --[[User talk:Thijsbos|Thijsbos]] 11:32, 28 January 2011 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| :One edit: I noticed on the top of the article, behind the jackals' name, there is the Jackals' latin name, so it is not a discrepancy, but rather a new species altogether. And seeing as sub species would still have the family name Perosus same as the jackals, these must be a new species. --[[User talk:Thijsbos|Thijsbos]] 11:39, 28 January 2011 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| :Good catch. Lacerta erectus is likely to be a different species, as pointed out by the Bestiarum, as an example of another Low-G species, thus not strictly a family of the Kig-yar species. — <span style="font-size:200%; font-family:Freestyle Script;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 12:26, 28 January 2011 (EST)

| == Ranks ==
| |
|
| |
| The rank structure is screwed up. Gold armored skirmishers are actually the highest ranked, not the elbow shielded ones. Check firefight if you do not believe me. Check the number of Skirm. Leaders killed to Spec. and you'll notice the number is to high to match the elbow shields. It does however match the number of Gold armored enemies you fight.
