Their forces include [[Elite (Halo)|Elites]], fierce warriors protected by recharging energy shields similar to the player's own; [[Grunt (Halo)|Grunts]], which are short, cowardly creatures who are usually led by Elites in battle, and often flee in terror instead of fighting in the absence of a leader; [[Jackal (Halo)|Jackals]], who wear a highly durable energy shield on one arm and a plasma pistol on the other; and [[Hunter (Halo)|Hunters]], large, powerful creatures with thick armor plates that cover the majority of their bodies and a large assault cannon that fires explosive rounds of green plasma.<ref name=gamespotfaq /> A secondary enemy is the [[Flood (Halo)|Flood]], a [[parasitic]] alien life form that appears in several variants later in the game.<ref name=gamespotfaq2 /> Another enemy is the Sentinels, aerial robots designed by an extinct race called the [[Forerunner (Halo)|Forerunners]] to protect their structures and prevent Flood outbreaks. Sentinels are able to hover around in enclosed spaces and produce an energy shield when under attack. They lack durability, but use powerful laser weapons.<ref name="gamespotfaq2" /><ref>{{cite book |last1=Patenaude |first1=Jeremy |title=Halo: the essential visual guide |date=2011 |publisher=Dorling Kindersley |location=London |isbn=978-1-4053-6587-1 |pages=167–168}}</ref> |
