Ibie'shan (Earth-5875)

Ibie'shans (Latin Perosus latrunculus igneus, meaning "hateful bandit of the volcano"), known to humans as Geckos, are a race of kig-yar from Eayn's isolated continent Ibie'sh. Alongside their ruuhtian and t'vaoan brethren, they served in the Covenant in specialized roles.

Origins
After the separations of Eayn's supercontinent, Ibie'sh became the most isolated, rarely being visited by outsiders, which contributed to the large divergent evolution of kig-yar there present. While ruuhtians and t'vaoans evolved with their avian features being noticeable, the ibie'shans retain more of their species' ancient reptilian features, with larger maws, shorter stature, and smaller eyes. Despite their differences, ibie'shans are still able to reproduce with the other two races.

Human-Covenant War
Ibie'shans were seen in multiple battles through the First Contact War, acting alongside ruuhtians, sporting point gauntlets and shields. Most of them allied with the san'shyuum, the jiralhanae, and their other kig-yar races during the Great Schism.
