"What the Tivin's lack in brainpower they make up for in brute strength and undying loyalty."

- Lady Efulia on the Tivins.

An incredibly large species native to Azather and it's moons, the Tivin are among the strongest species to ever walk on Azather's surface. The Tivin posess great strength and (suprisingly enough) agility and were famous to cause even the mightiest of animals to cower in fear. In Tivin culture, loyalty and partnership is highly supported; their relationship with the Nartol was solidified during the Flood's invasion of Azather during the Forerunner-Flood war. When the Flood attacked Azather, most of the Tivin were infected and were used against the Nartol and Forerunner. An infected Tivin posseses a large, tentacle arm and one of the heads houses multiple infection forms. The Tivin are a Tier 7 species, much unlike their Nartol partners (who are Tier 1). For most jobs, the Tivin are used for manual labour to expensive to build machinery for.

Trivia

 * The Tivin are based off the Ettin species from the Warcraft universe, much like the Nartol. The Author used the Ettin because he wanted to include a 'human' like alien in the Halo Universe.
 * Originally, they were to be a species of the early Covenant, but the idea was scrapped. They were originally going to be based off the Gronn species in their service to the Covenant, which was scrapped because of the above note.
