An explanation for the planet’s high gravity (as well as the ridiculously high gravity of other planets in the Halo universe compared to their natives (Doisac)) could just be the activation of the Halo array. When the rings went off they flooded the Universe with a ridiculous amount of radiation, which has its own gravitational weight. And when all the organic life absorbed that radiation and were later disintegrated, that radiation just presumably stuck around buried in the planet weighing it down. So given that Sangheili evolved prior to the Halo array’s activation and then were reseeded on their home world, perhaps they and other species in the Halo universe were made more muscular and resilient than their pre-activation ancestors because of the added gravity?

[@Paddy656]

Elites have really impressive strength, speed and agility but they would have terrible endurance. They're huge and they have thick scaly/ leathery skin, so they wouldn't have skin pores and wouldn't be able to sweat so they would overheat really quickly. Also, because their legs mostly bend _behind_ them and because of their weird hoof feet, that would make it really hard for them to climb. Oh, and their clawed finger tips would make them less dexterous and delicate with their hands.

[@RoanokeGaming]

plus if I recall, the legs shape makes it easier for them to run faster and longer distances

[@midshipman8654]

Roanoke Gaming faster maybe, but longer distances? I am no biologist, but if I remember correctly the layout of the human leg maximizes stamina while walking/running on two legs. Wouldn’t the digitagrade legs of elites burn more stamina as well?

[@troopergames8173]

Jackson Almodobar+ on the front of overheating, maybe they pant? I'm no biologist and im aware they are not mammalian by far. Another thought I had was an increased oxogen presence in their homeworld. Again I'm no biologist I just thought I'd add more to the conversation

[@midshipman8654]

trooper games even still, panting is no where near as effective as sweating, it’s why horses sweat too. Also I don’t believe reptilians can vent as much heat has a mammal like a dog can, but idk. The oxygen thing could be a factor, but then they would need to have some device to provide them with more oxygen on earth and earth like environments (which is largely were the elite are stationed in game) for them not to loose breath real quick on places like Reach, Halo, or earth.

[@djcuevas1057]

If Elites have problems using human vehicles then how does the Arbiter drive a tank and a Warthog with no issues? An no I won't accept "gameplay" as an answer.

[@RoanokeGaming]

Luckily I have an explanation for you, Ever wonder why when elites sit in a warthog they look like they are jacked up? and its not just their height either, Master chief can fit pretty well in a warthog but it appears elites almost sit on the tops of the back of their seats, as for the Tanks, I would say its the same deal, just more area for them to sit

[@tout8146]

Perhaps the tanks and warthogs are specially designed to fit the arbiter seen as the unsc already knows arbiters cause

do you have an exact number on how much stronger the gravity is on sangheilios, because in a halo book, a guy named Philip lived there for a few months and was fine

[@RoanokeGaming]

1.375 G. While a person would be able to survive those conditions for a little while, I imagine prolonged exposure would lead to increased pressure on the heart to pump blood to the brain which could leave to aneurysms in the aorta or blood vessels elsewhere! Plus armor and weapons carried on Sanghelios would be heavier and more difficult to manage. Human stamina would also be decreased. think about running in sand except EVERYWHERE lol

His body may have just adapted to the conditions the longer he was there but what do I know?

[@lunokhod3937]

Well you've gotta remember that Humanity is a multi-planet species at this point so some people will live on worlds with lower or higher gravity than earth. This phillip bloke could've been from a human colony on a higher G world and thus be adapted to survive on bigger plannets like Sanghelios.

We're basically Grunts to these guys.

[@carlosschwambach9213]

Humans seemed far more creative, adaptative and technologically adept to me Not all of it comes down to anatomy. And by God, I refuse to quote the stairs thing

[@sirfrancis8732]

2 years late but I'm adding my two cents. Elites may be physically superior to us in every way, but we're a bit more clever and cunning from what I've seen in lore. Elites in war have a very honorific system that revolves around following set rules of engagement, while we humans pay lip service to these rules while blatantly and obviously disobeying them. A perfect example of this would be how every covenant force lead by an elite would seem to follow the same strategy of applying force from the front and nowhere else (explaining why Regret, a prophet, managed to crack Earth's defenses with a fleet only 2% the size of the Fleet of Particular Justice on Reach.) Juxtapose this with humanity's varying and adaptive use of many strategies and you can see how we managed to hold out for as long as we did against the Alpha Bravos. One other thing of note is that Elites would rather die than to receive medical treatment in combat, so their casualties are usually deaths while ours can sometimes be frankensteined back together well enough to go back out and get vaporized again, thus giving us a slightly higher effective troop count than theirs in a 1:1 fight. A bit of a read, but from what I can tell it's all completely lore accurate and explains a lot of what was implied about the Human-Covenant War, so I hope that makes up for the extreme lateness.

Actually, everything the Covenant build is purple because the material it's made of is that colour by default. Kinda like objects made of steel are always grey or silvery in colour when not painted, it is the same with their stuff. And since covering everything from a small cargo crate to a 21 kilometers long Assault Carrier with a paintjob would be too expensive and a waste of resources for little purpose, they just kept it purple.

[@RoanokeGaming]

Hmmm its a pretty old topic, but I believe I do touch on that

[@rileyernst9086]

Dinosaurs were not large because there was extra oxygen necessarily. When you factor in bird lungs, which are driven by a system of air sacks that constantly pump air through the lungs, with blood vessels parralel to airflow, ensuring that birds can have 20-30% more oxygen saturation in their blood its no wonder why they could get so big. The warmblooded and highly active ancestors of crocodiles also had some pretty sophisticated lungs, which is why modern crocs have lungs which are extremely overbuilt for a semi aquatic ambush predator. I would imagine the sangheli would have something similar to these very efficent archosaurian lung systems.

[@Jiji_guy]

Roanoke made this video when people haven't factored in the efficient breathing system and just theorized that oxygen was richer. He was just using the accepted kbowledge at the time.

Ok, so a question. Considering you are a biology guy while I'm just someone who spends way to much time looking at the Sangheili. Do they have hooves or not? from an anatomical perspective at least. Because from what I can tell they don't. The closest example that I can be being the elites seen in the Mona Lisa motion comic, in which you can see that the toes of the foot are dominated by a hard surface like a cloven hoof, while every other example has a very skin covered foot with small nails located towards the tip. Then while inconsistent, you have the amount of dexterity in the toes which has been depicted in both subtle and unsubtle moments with the beautiful reptiles. Then you have the fact that the sold pad seen in some of the games at the bottom of the foot often seen as a Hoof simply an armoured sole. Then you also have the drastic differences between the feet from game to game but that could be written off in the same way as the mandibles are.

Roanoke Gaming Looking to their morphology I really doubt they are fast and agile creatures like they are portrayed. With their horse-like feet it would be really hard for them to walk on soft ground, their bulky morphology would also makes them incapable to run, climb or swim efficiently. Their two thumbs hands would not give any advantage compared to a human hand outside of pure combat, it would also be really hard for them to do precision work. For me, all the evidences shows that they are actually ambush predators like crocodiles: they spend most of the time motionless and can deliver a really strong and short attack when they see a prey, that would explain their strong, slow and bulky morphology.

Johnson is actually a Spartan 1, a predecessor to the Spartan 2 program. He was augmented and therefore could live for longer and was also much harder to be infected by the flood.

[@timbomb374]

if they breath more oxygen then we do do halo rings have higher oxygen content? and what would that do to a human breathing it?

[@sambob8019]

Would most likely make you very dizzy

[@roamirzul1878]

Do 40K space marine next

[@RoanokeGaming]

Still need to play that third person game!

[@nyipnyop]

All I need to know is how the Sangheili eats their food.

[@necroticneurons9555]

Oy anyone know the name the beat used in the beginning?

[@EmoRikki17]

They cant see purple so they see blue.....so that means....the Arbiters purple hud that we see is actually meant to be blue in the elites vision just like the spartan hud....hmmmm

[@jackcolson4745]

7:47 oops...

[@johnsteiner3417]

Also, they don't have backward knees. Those are their ankles, and then the game designers appeared to lose track where they were and added a foot at the end of the feet, and then put in toes.

[@consent933]

Wow you're an idiot

[@TropicalCyc]

@@consent933 no u

[@tout8146]

Notice how front heavy sanghili are shouldn’t they just fall over?

[@RoanokeGaming]

Front heavy?

[@tout8146]

Notice how the elite leans forward so much with the backward bending legs it seems like it should just tip over

[@kmnbvcmnbvc9741]

they have nothing to hold in food from the bottem

[@RoanokeGaming]

I believe they will tilt their heads back when they eat

[@D01589466]

Reptiles on earth don't have forward facing eyes.

Futurama death by Sno sno

[@michaeldavila8627]

Elites make me hate myself for being human.

[@htoodoh5770]

Umbra They have some weakness.

[@HerrscherOfDominion]

Htoo Doh not much weakness though.

[@htoodoh5770]

Mickle Drayson a lot

[@eliblaster9006]

Umbra damn I feel the pain

[@htoodoh5770]

Dan Wallace And what? No

[@sethmcintyre871]

They are the alien version of Saints Row.

[@jonasbrumley8184]

I like to think of the Sangheili as the japanese people because they are honorable as **** and they don't even know what surrender is (Disclaimer i only know the dark history of japan)

[@nigglebit]

Fun Fact: Purple as a colour does not exist. It is a false perception of the human brain. The electromagnetic spectrum visible to humans ranges from Blue to Red. Wavelengths of light triggering two colour receptor cells of the retina are perceived as an averaging of wavelengths (Red + Green = Yellow). If this adaptation were to be carried over to red and blue receptors, the average should be a yellowish green, which would be an inaccurate visual interpretation of the environment. So the human brain evolved to loop back the ends of the visible spectrum and join them with perception of violets and purples between red and blue. Basically turning the colour spectrum into a colour wheel. So in fact, animals whose visible spectrum is shorter or wider than humans don't see purple at all because it doesn't exist. Many birds see well into the ultraviolet spectrum and many reptiles can see infrared; colours which humans cannot even imagine or comprehend. In conclusion, humans are the only ones who see Sangheili blood as purple. The Sangheili probably have different colour receptor cells which enable them to differentiate between Yellow and Red+Green.

[@kolinmartz]

I hate it when people call them backwards facing knee. Those are not the knees. Those are the “heels/ankles”.

[@tesserisfour]

*predator 2.0* -Much more uglier -More agile -much taller

[@RoanokeGaming]

-says wort wort wort

[@patriciusvunkempen102]

judging by sangheili culture i would expect a large degree of sexual dimorphism as they ever seemd highly patriarchical in their society , swearing by their sons etc

[@duncanmcokiner4242]

That doesn't denote a patriarchy, just a higher amount of male warriors.
