Due to their superior senses, the Kig-Yar, or '''Jackals''' are the scouts and marksmen of the Covenant military. They are about 5'6" tall and due to their lack of physical durability, they carry a portable [[Jackal Personal Arm Shield|energy shield]] generator during combat. Jackals are employed mainly as sharpshooters with their excellent vision and dexterity, and are also deployed to defend strategic areas. When a Jackal is under fire, it will cover its head with its hands and trot away to another position from which to fire from. The first [[Human]] contact was between [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Johnson]] and [[Byrne]] on a Human freighter as Jackal pirates tried to board the ship. Jackals have never been seen using grenades except in the book ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''. This is probably because they wield both their weapon and their shield, and so cannot throw grenades while dual-wielding. | Due to their superior senses, the Kig-Yar, or '''Jackals'''/'''Skirmishers''' are the scouts and marksmen of the Covenant military.
