Lekgolo Archeophage

The , known to the UNSC as the Chrysalis, is an advanced Lekgolo combat gestalt used by the war-ministries to perform information-gathering missions of extremely-delicate precision. Rarely seen, the Covenant military asset represents the apex of several convergent technologies, most of which remains poorly understood to the average Covenant and warrior centuries after their introduction to Covenant service. Archeophage variants were observed on most occasions recovering Forerunner technology in hard-to-reach environments or capturing high-value enemy assets to bring back home. On occasion, such variants also collaborated with engineers. Other, rare nicknames for the machine-beast include "Snatcher" and "Nester."
