==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)

==Contact Harvest?==

There's a lot of information about Kig-Yar history in Contact Harvest. I'm only about halfway through the book (not bad for two hours in a plane and maybe a half hour at baggage claim) and when the crew of the ''Minor Transgression'' were the focus of the story (which is a great deal) a lot was revealed. How come none of you regular Halopedians have covered this yet? 

==Which are stronger?==

I havent really played it in a while but the color differences are probably because of different races. Like on Earth, American, African, Chinese.--[[User:Leckgolo434|prophet of war]] 23:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

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]]

== Jackal info ==

I was just wondering where the info came from about the jackals being spacefaring, and being more mercenaries and privateers than real, believing members of the Covenant. I was hoping someone could maybe please shed some light on this for me? -- 131.50.151.8

:I dunno about spacefaring, but being mercenaries came from the action figure box, I think.

::Both wrong, in terms of game measurements. The Halo 2 Jackals are roughly 6'6" tall. Nearly 7 feet if you count their head-crests actually. -[[User:Azathoth|The Dark Lord Azathoth]] 00:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

In game their size is such, probably due to limitations in the engine. Maybe Bungie had wanted to make a greater, visible difference in Grunt and Jackal height. Humans have variable height, I would assume that other species would too so the range of height on the info page seems reasonable to me. However the size difference is more than likely something to do with the engine, akin to the Hunters in Combat Evolved, they were only 9 feet tall at max despite the manual stating they were 12 feet tall. As we all know this changed for the better in Halo 2 making them much more impressive enemies. Perhaps a rectification will occur in Halo 3.

:In Halo, Jackals were about 6'2". In Halo 2, they were closer to 7 feet. In Halo, Grunts were just over 5 feet. In Halo 2, though, they were the same...so you're probably right. -[[User:Azathoth|The Dark Lord Azathoth]] 15:54, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Jackals are probably much taller than six feet; about the same height as an Elite, as shown in this picture. http://www.halopedian.com/File:Scale.GIF - xxgamernerdxx

== Jackals in Second Levels ==

In Halo CE, the first enemies in the second level are the Grunts and Elites that come out of the drop ship along with two banshees.  Also in Halo 2, the first enemy is a Grunt in a hallway after Master Chief gets away from the downed pelican.

== Jackal Design Change ==

Sorry if there is a notation on the page but I couldn't see one. Do you not think the change from a beak to rows of teeth should be mentioned? Have Bungie ever said why the design change occured? It does seem that they are returning to the original design for Halo 3 based on the Jackal silouhette.

The H1 Jackals have teeth, as well. There's a screen on this wiki page that shows that. [[User:Blue Ninja|Blue Ninja]] 08:16, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

The Jackals in Halo: Combat Evolved did have teeth but they were not the same as the Jackals teeth in Halo 2, they looked more close together and sort of plated, Halo 2 Jackals had sharp separate teeth.-- [[User:Joshua 029|Joshua 029]] 11:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

By the looks of it, the shields have changed too, Major Jackals shields are now red and minor jackals now have the original blue shields, and...in that opening picture their eyes seemed to have changed... they look pale. =S-- [[User:Joshua 029|Joshua 029]] 13:44, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

== Modded? ==

"On a modded level of "Outskirts" where you play as a Jackal, you can pick up human Sniper Rifles because the sniping weapons have the same tags. And the animation is near perfect too."

Is this an official Bungie mod? Because mods are pretty far into the realm of non-canon, and I'm not sure why one is being mentioned here. [[User:Captain J|Captain J]] 01:29, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

It's not that it's canon, its just talking about the character model's capabilities are as far as weapons go.

== Pages need help ==

Yo the Jackal rank pages ([[Jackal Minor]] [[Jackal Major]] [[Jackal Sniper]]) need serious help! They are outdated and contain disputed facts! HELP THEM.

*I've been reading 'Contact Harvest', and I suggest we add Shipmaster/Shipmistress and Zealot to the list.

==gender==

hey, does anyone else think that the jackals with the large helmet things in Halo 1 were female jackals?  Contact Harvest mentions them having bumps on the shoulders and heads, so maybe the helmet is to protect/cover up the bumps?  

[[User:Spartan 501|Spartan 501]] 04:52, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
:-I also think so.  Makes sense.  I myself was going to do the same thing you did. [[User:DilaBagomee|DilaBagomee]] 08:00, 5 July 2008

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

==Not Exactly The First Species Seen==

Well I was reading Contact Harvest and technically the first alien seen by any Human was a grunt named Dadab as he was attacked by the ships captain. But yeah Jackals were the first to be taken into account by the Humans in general.-- [[User:Joshua 029|Joshua 029]] 15:20, 4 January 2008 (UTC)



==Kroot V.S. Jackal==
For Warhammer 40k fans they seem similar. Kroot are bird like mercs that only side with tau at first for profit. But some have been converted.
 
the tau are basicly covernent but less races ,the tau are the prothets and the kroot the jakels  and the vespids are drones.

jackals DO have carbines in halo 2 without been given to them by the player

yes, they do, on easier difficulties, especially in the level 'Regret' on the second above water tram-thing, three or four on easy have them like snipers and fire at you from the top of his temple, before you go rambo on the honor guards.

==Early Conflict in History?==
Apparently, before their introduction to the Covenant, the Jackals have very violent relations with another species. Does anyone know what species that is?

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

== Jackal crystalline sabers ==

If you read the section of Contact Harvest where Johnson and Byrnes encounter Jackals, the Covenant, for the first time, they use type of blade that uses the same material as Needler rounds.

-== 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.

-==6 feet 8?==
-I'm not doubting the information on this site but isn't 6'8 pretty tall considering they look about the same height as Marines, most of whom are around the 6'0 mark. [[User talk:Kig|Anti-Anti-Elitism (what&#39;s makes SPARTANs better?)]] 10:59, 25 June 2011 (EDT)Kig
-:They're definitely taller than Marines. <font style="papyrus">[[User:Bioniclepluslotr|<font color="lime">'''Bioniclepluslotr'''</font>]]</font> 21:17, 21 August 2011 (EDT)
