In response to a previous submission dealing with the possibility of a biological link between the Hunters and the Elites, David Bergland makes a few good observations.

I have to point out a few counter arguments in Allenthar's compairison of the Covenant huters and the Covenant Elites. A quick study of these two images from HTR reveal numerous structural differences that cannot be chalked up to biological modifications:
Hunter
Elite
The first is the Hunter's neck, which extends from the armor in an almost snail like fashion that doesn't seem to enhance their combat preformance. A hunter's legs are not jointed like an elite's, either. The different blood coloration suggests an enhanced circulatory system but once you get past their armor, a hunter is much weaker than an Elite without it's shield. The tendril spikes on the hunters back do not seem like they could in any way enhance a hunter's ablility to perform it's role as a warrior, so I'd be intended to chalk this up to differences in spieces rather than modifications.
Interesting. The hunters might have been enhanced for different reasons than our Master Chief, however. A history of the Covenant would be a particularly useful thing, right about now...
