Jackals may be superior marksmen and they're very sneaky, but that doesn't make them excellent snipers-they're a little too bloodthirsty for that.
~ Anonymous UNSC serviceman.

Kig-Yar are an avian/reptillian species which serve in the Covenant Empire as mercenaries and privateers since they lack the Covenant religion. They are two distinct subgroups of Kig-Yar, which Humans have termed Jackals and Skirmishers. In combat, Kig-Yar serve as snipers, shock troopers, defensive fighters and scouts within the Covenant military due to their excellent senses of sight, smell and hearing. They are usually seen supporting Grunts and other Covenant members in battle.
