Huragok are a race of biomechanical sentient beings that were created by the Forerunners to maintain their technology and, in some cases, biological beings. These remarkably helpful and docile pseudo-organisms are exceedingly patient, rarely communicate with other species, and are almost single-mindedly devoted to their work. Huragok are known to exist in two varieties; those that used to serve the Builders, referred to by some individuals as Engineers, and the rarer Lifeworker Huragok, who were designed to repair and maintain biological lifeforms.
They were the only known non-combatant race of the Covenant aside from the San’Shyuum, though some were rigged to explode like suicide bombers during the Human-Covenant War. This also served the purpose of asset denial, preventing their capture and redeployment by enemy factions.
