Skimmers are combative entities of the Gasgira species,[1] commanded by the Harbinger during the Installation 07 conflict.[2][3]
Overview
Anatomy and physiology
Skimmers have two arms, with three fingers on each. They also have four legs, with a large toe, and a smaller one higher up the leg. They are quite small, with a disproportionately large head. They make use of thruster "wings" which they use to maneuver. They wear armor on their torso, head and "wings", red or white depending on rank.[2] Underneath their helmets, they possess oral tentacles similar to those of the Harbinger. Despite this similarity, it is uncertain if the Skimmers themselves are Xalanyn.
Gameplay
Halo Infinite
The Skimmers make use of the Shock rifle[2] as well as the VK78 Commando and throw Dynamo grenades. They have weak spots on their head and thrusters. If killed by shooting a weak spot, they explode in a burst of purple flame.
