- "I do not understand the infatuation with these skittering thrustbugs, brother. The Skimmers present more nuisance than aid to our efforts. I am convinced they - much like their leader - have their own agenda."
- — Grenadier Dalkura to Loft-Captain Gethmald[1]
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 Gasgira themselves are Xalanyn.
Gameplay
Halo Infinite
