== | ==Overview== | ||
Stalkers are commonly seen acting as spies and bodyguards for [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s, however they have a far more covert role in the [[Covenant]]. On the battlefield, they can function as spies and assassins. Jiralhanae Stalkers often use their [[active camouflage]] to flank and ambush unsuspecting hostile forces. They also use [[radar jammer]]s to confuse enemies, before charging in with [[Type-52 Mauler]]s to finish them off.<ref name="HE145">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 145''</ref> | Stalkers are commonly seen acting as spies and bodyguards for [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s, however they have a far more covert role in the [[Covenant]].
