The Complete Evolution of Halo's Elites
Warriors of culture, they are known for their impressive fighting skills. Their intimidating nature is emphasized by their height, as they are known to be considerably taller than humans in Halo lore. We are going to take a closer look at the Sanghelli/Elites to see just how tall these guys are.
According to the book Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, Elites can stand between 7 feet 1 inch and 850 feet tall. In terms of measuring height in feet, this ranges from 7.38 feet to 8.6 feet.
Released in 2011, Halo: The Essential Visual Guide is an official book written as a collaboration between 343 Industries and DK Publishing that delves into all aspects of Halo lore, from locations to characters to the various alien races that appear in the series. It's a handy encyclopedia for all things Halo, and a reliable source for lore, thanks to the fact that the book is largely helmed and written by 343 Industries' lead writer for the Halo universe, Jeremy Patenaude.
