Jackal

The Jackal/Kig-yar (Latin Perosus latrunculus, translated to "Hateful Highwayman") are a saurian species] which would serve the Covenant as mercenaries. Humans have termed these vicious creatures Jackals, as they are known for their swiftness, viciousness and dexterity, even though they aren't the strongest Covenant race. Jackals will either serve as snipers or scouts within the Covenant due to their excellent sense of sight, smell and hearing. They were the first Covenant species encountered by UNSC forces.
