Sangheili

  Sangheili are very muscular and range in height from 7'4" to 8'6" tall. Their jaws are quadruple-hinged, with an upper jaw and four mandible-like lips. Their mandibles normally hold six teeth each, with as much as ten teeth being present on the upper central jaw. Some Sangheili have also been observed with much larger fangs extruding from the tips of their mandibles. The Sangheili as depicted in both Halo: Wars and Halo: Reach appear to have far more teeth than this description however, and these teeth posses a more feral look. Some Sangheili such as Han and Fal 'Chavamee, and Roh, keep their mandibles closed, using only the front two joints of their lower mandibles to speak, giving them a more humanoid appearance. It is a possibility that the Sangheili in general don't usually use all four of their mandibles, except when breathing heavily; an example would be during combat situations. The mandibles appear to be made for gripping small prey, which insinuates that the Sangheili evolved from a quadroped race and that they are much larger than their natural prey. It should be noted that the Sangheili are omnivores however and consume a variety of crops, one example being Irukan rice, in addition to meats.     Their hands are tetradactyl, having four digits; two middle fingers, and two opposing thumbs on the outside for grasping. Such an arrangement grants them greater manual dexterity and a more secure grip. Their legs are digitigrade, with short upper and lower legs, and elongated tarsals, using the distal and intermediate phalanges to support their weight when walking. This arrangement allows them to run very quickly and jump large distances compared to humans and other Covenant species. They are capable of leaping over other Sangheili, indicating a vertical jump height of over eight feet. Their superior agility can also be attributed to their home world's higher gravity; the additional strength required to move normally in a high-gravity environment would cause them to be more powerful in lower gravity situations. Sangheili are strange for bipedal species in that their knees do not bend backwards but forwards. This unusual hinging does not impair their mobility on the ground but climbing, especially on standard ladders, is difficult for them.   Sangheili Traits:   +1 Strength
