Jiralhanae (Earth-8756)

The jiralhanae (Latin Servus ferox, meaning "wild slave"), known to humans as Brutes, are a massive, brutish and carnivorous sapient species of pseudo-ursine mammals from Doisac. Discovered by the Covenant in 2492, they became the last species to be enslaved by the hegemony. Upon being inducted into the Covenant, the jiralhanae developed an intense feud and intense hatred for the sangheili, unlike any other in the Covenant, which was fueled by the naturally aggressive behavior and pack-based mentality of the jiralhanae against the sangheili's xenophobia and sense of societal superiority. An extremely strong species, they surpassed both the sangheili and SPARTAN in terms of strength, and placed a large emphasis on brutality, considered savages by the other species of the Covenant.
