Hello, Ruggy here, with one question, why do you guys think Hunters in Halo are always in groups of two, why don’t they fight solo? What is your theory?
Interesting topic. I believe they are always in groups of two for a few reasons.
- I think because of slow reflexes and dim wits, they are in pares of two. - If I’m not mistaken, the two hunters may be the same colony. (In case you didn’t know, Hunters are actually made up of tiny worms that work together.) - In the book, Halo: The Flood, it said that these two Hunters in particular were “bond brothers” not sure that’s canon.These are my theories. I may very well be wrong, so correct me if I am.
> Bond brothers.
> When a single Mgalekgolo becomes too big, the colony will divide in half to create two independent Lekgolo colonies. These colonies will share an extremely close and mysterious bond, referred to only as being “bond brothers”, or “mates”. Mgalekgolo that have split into “bond brothers” are recognized by spiked appendages that rise from their shoulders, which means that they are bonded to another Mgalekgolo. Bonded Mgalekgolo colonies are dropped into battle together by the Covenant, as the Spartans learned: where you find a Mgalekgolo, there is always another close by. If one of the bonded colonies is killed, the other will go into a frenzied state, much like the berserk state of a Jiralhanae, or the suicidal charge of a desperate Unggoy. If left alone for a long period of time, however, they will adopt a “tactical split personality” of shooting followed by melee attacks. On one occasion a Mgalekgolo whose bond brother was killed went berserk killing its allies aboard the crashed Radiant Perception and eventually became suicidal.

This answers my theory about the colonies.
I was about to talk about bond brothers, but someone beat me to it! Those worms are interesting.
