Jiralhanae: Difference between revisions

Line 57:

Their large, stocky appearance is most likely due to the gravity on their planet, which is about twice that of Earth. Jiralhanae are immensely strong, hence the "Brute" moniker, and are capable of delivering crushing blows in hand-to-hand combat. Their teeth are very sharp, and are frequently used as natural weapons. They are prone to fits of berserk rage in battle; Brutes often rush at and pummel any targets within reach with terrifying aggression. Jiralhanae have three digits on each hand including opposable thumbs. As such they can make use of a variety of weapons both of Covenant and human design. Their feet have only two digits, each with thick, hardened claws.<ref name="wp jiralhanae"/> Jiralhanae blood is purplish-red.

Jiralhanae are ~~carnivorous~~, as evidenced by their fearsome fanged jaws and propensity for violence. They are known to eat the flesh of their enemies, such as [[human]]s.
