- A UNSC Marine on the Hunter

The Mgalekgolo (Latin name Ophis congregatio, meaning Serpent Union) are a race of beings formed from small worms known as Lekgolo. The Mgalekgolo often form bonds to eachover when creating the Hunter. Mgalekgolo hale from the planet of Te and were the Support Troopers of the Covenant. Following the Great Schism, the Mgalekgolo were split, with some joining both sides.

Early Existence
It is not vastly known what the Lekgolo were prior to the Taming of the Hunters. However, it is known that the Mgalekgolo's homeworld was visited by the Ancient Forerunners. The Forerunner left many of their artifacts on Te, which later be the reason for the Taming of the Hunters. When the time came for the Halo Array to fire, the Forerunner brought the Mgalekgolo, along with several other species to Installation 00; where they would be safe from the Array.
