Mara (Earth-4001)

Mara was the "lending name" of a female ape who lived on Installation 07 during the later years of the Forerunner-Flood war. She was the last living member of the largest species of ape to have ever existed, classified today as Gigantopithecus and known as Shakyanusho in ancient times. Resembling a gorilla in general shape, Mara was enormous in size, reaching around three meters in height when standing upright. Despite her size, she was noted to move quietly and with remarkable grace and agility. She had a wide face with sunken, green eyes, and most of her body was covered in black and dark reddish fur.
