Sexuality
Are Hunter pairs just gay couples? —This unsigned comment was made by 64.121.1.55 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~
- I wouldn't give gender to hive minds, so they wouldn't be gay or straight. Possibly some of the worms are gay, but there are so many per Hunter that it shouldn't matter. --Dragonclaws 09:51, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Hunters are not gay, they don't see couples as Humans do (man and woman get married and such) they see it as brothers for life sort of thing, and Hunters are a hive form of at least 100 worms, which have come together to make one being, so a Hunter might be made up of different genders.

They are asexual, so they are not gay. By the way, please don't link your fanfictions in these articles. --Justin Time 00:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Blood
Hey, does anyone know why Hunter blood is orange?--prophit of war 21:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
I belive that's the worms smashed—This unsigned comment was made by Sangheili (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~
Yeah probably like worm juice. Hey I wonder if Hunters dry out left in the sun too long without their armour.--prophit of war 15:34, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey when a Hunter is shot in the fleshy exposed parts, does every worm die? Or the amount of worms shot, makes the Hunter more weaker due to less movement, but does the rest of the worms that wernt shot stay alive and are just stuck there in the armour? Sorry i badly worded that... User: Joshua 029
- I'd say that not all of the worms are dead, but when enough are killed the Hunter can not retain its collective mind and collapses. --Dragonclaws(talk) 23:18, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
It seems so, but how did you know they fed on worms, there isn't any mention in the book, neither in the game!--Master Chief Petty Officer 11:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Fed on? The Hunters are described as a hivemind (collective entity like the Borg) of worms in the Halo 2 special edition manual, and this is expanded on in GoO. --Dragonclaws(talk) 12:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Hunters Orange Part
Why is the orange part of the Hunter is the weakest spot of all? it only takes on shot to kill one!--Master Chief Petty Officer 12:26, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Well the orange part is the actual creature made up of multiple worm-like organisms, if it gets severly damaged then the Hunter wouldn't function properly and would collapse. But i understand what you mean by one shot kill...i'm not really sure why a Hunter dies by one shot, but the bullet passes through the Hunter, which severes many of the worms, this causes it to become weaker, if you stacked up some wooden blocks like jenga, take a few pieces out it will all fall down, same with a Hunter. User:Joshua 029
I see your point, then logically it is the main core that produce energy!--Master Chief Petty Officer 05:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Main core? I don't understand what you mean. Do you understand that the blue part is just its armor and that the orange part is the actual creature(s) seen through a gap in the armor? --Dragonclaws(talk) 23:15, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Obviously I do, or I wouldn't have asked such a question. You see, the orange part exposed is a major point that could end a Hunters life, so why don't it has a armor?--Master Chief Petty Officer 11:20, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps just to not restrict its movement. You can compare their hard, unyielding armor to that of European knights. Without the gap, perhaps they could not shift around as much as is preferable in a combat situation. But it's not the core itself that is the weakness, as the exposed neck can also work. --Dragonclaws(talk) 12:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
That makes sense, I know the neck could also so,but it seems odd because only the weak spot is not protected!--Master Chief Petty Officer 12:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I think the whole mass is weak enough to be taken out in a few shots. The gaps are just the only place to fire on it. And the back is not entirely unprotected because, in the books at least, its spines are razor-sharp and can cut through unshielded enemies. --Dragonclaws(talk) 23:41, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Of course, but the spines are not used very often, in Halo 2, Hunters can attack enemies on the back. And the COvenant might have thought of the point of unshielded enemies. Only shielded enemies would have the guts to fight a hunter hand to hand.--Master Chief Petty Officer 05:02, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Could it be that the Hunter in Halo: Combat Evolved had a moderated Fuel Rod Gun especially for them, but the Hunters in Halo 2 had a gravity cannon that used Fuel Rod energy, which explains the green colour of the beam, because the prophets use a gravity cannon in their chair and it makes the same sound and looks similar the only difference is colour. Can someone reply to this? User:Joshua 029
Do you mean that the Hunter desperse some energy tothe cannon?--Master Chief Petty Officer 05:00, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
No i'm saying that, a fuel rod gun/cannon shoots balls of green plasma, but the hunter in Halo 2 shoots a long gravity beam just like the one on the prophets chair they both sound the same and look the same, only the colour is different, prophets is orange beam, hunters is green. Im saying...is the reason that the hunters gun is a gravity cannon, which feeds on fuel rod energy or fuel rod power? User:Joshua 029
I know what your saying i think, i could be the same tech on thier ships pulse lazers and it chanegrs due to the strength of the beam --Climax Viod 21:02, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
