The Hunter is speculated to not be a singular organism, but rather a hive creature composed of multiple small, orange, worm-like organisms (called Lekgolo eels by fans) that form a singular collective conciousness and act as one. Their armor has the dual purpose of both protecting them and maintaining body shape. The books contradict this, however, for they are described as "brothers" and that they have "bonds". Niether of these theories have been confirmed by Bungie themselves.

Hunters have very sharp, long spines composed of these worms, and are covered in metal armor. Hunters have been known to impale careless Marines upon these spines when surrounded.

Hunter's mostly make growls during battle but will sometimes talk and make remarks like the other Covenant species do as well.  Instead of using vocal chords, they vibrate their bodies to make a low rumble that is described to be "more felt than heard" to produce speech. It is perhaps their own language.

Being a collective mind might have the advantage of being immune from the Flood, no infected Hunter has ever been encountered so far. It would be very difficult for a Flood Infection Form to infect and take command of a entity composed of multiple individual minds.
