Yanme'e

The yanme'e (Forerunner designation Turpis rex) are a race of sentient, carnivorous, flight-capable insectoids native to Palamok. The yanme'e were one of the species that composed the religious hegemony known as the Covenant, having become the body's second client species. In combat, the yanme'e served as mechanics and soldiers, often using their ability to fly to carry out ambushes on enemies of the Covenant.
