The Covenant ressurected after the war.

Gibs (giblets) are, basically, what's left of someone after they make contact with an explosive object or powerful weapon. They can be seen in games such as Doom, Quake, Team Fortress 2 and many, many more.
Henchmen are the loyal grunts caught in between the player and the main antagonist. Without them every game would be nothing more than a boss battle.
A spell or ability that summons a swarm of insects. It's often used as a distraction against bigger enemies.
Bugs that are sapient beings and have humanoid and/or anthropomorphised features to varying degrees. This page includes Arachnids (Spiders, Scorpions) for brevity.
