Anything's possible. Seeing the Phor or S'phit would be funny, for us Marathon oldies. Just think of it this way: the new alien will probably be important in the story.

If you've read the weekly updates, Frankie said that Bungie was making a new alien that they couldn't tell anyone about. I think they're finally going to reveal the forerunner.What do you think?

maybe its another member of the covenant?
obviously not the brute, or engineer (cos they have been publically stating that they exist)
so i dunno they seem to have every niche covered in the covenant
grunts- important cannon fodder and menial labourers
jackals- scouts but still in the lower classes
elites- field commanders and generals, advance through the ranks with an almost direct proportion to how many humans they have killed
Hunters- the artillery of the infantry (if that makes sense)
Brutes- body guards and personal messanger/agents of the prophets
Prophets- religious rulers of the covenant, claim they speak to the gods (or something close to it) the elites believe em and thats good enough for everyone else
Engineers- not really part of the covenant as such, they seem to be along for the ride, they seem to just like fixing stuff, read the books and you'll see what i mean
so to me that seems that they got every angle covered unless someone can think of anything else?

As far as the books go there are no more species in the covenant that haven't yet already been announced. However brutes haven't been properly explained in detail either. So it's a strong possibility that a new alien species could be from the brutes home world.
When they said that the new alien can flip a warthog, it's a very vauge statment. On one hand if it has the ability to barely flip the warthog, it would only need the strength of a brute, hunter, elite or master chief. They could all flip hogs back upright when they are turned upsidedown. The hunter's melee attack however is destructive enough to flip a driving warthog something that master chief himself can't do. So if you look at it that way, we may be talking about something really big

Could it be like the alien that is really big and flips over tanks and stuff?

it must be something pretty big, unlike the grunt or jackal, if it is able to flip warthogs etc. I would be guessing something between the size of a hunter or brute/elite. The ability to flip a warthog is pretty impresive so it must be high up in the covenant hierarchy if it is a Covenant. Did Frankie also say it could flip tanks??

I think that the new alien is a type of servant that serves the prophets.

They're called 'Hooters' and can flip Warthogs due to their top-heaviness. ;)

Lol
O yeaah they will flip your ride reaall hard

Hmm I really don't know i didn't even known there was a secret alien.. Hmm...

Also has anyone noticed that Halo doesn't have "Bosses" Like most games? Then again most shooter games don't have bosses but james bond kind of does... Anyway that was off topic maybe the new alien is like huge but slow and stupid or something so that way you can actually kill it, or maybe they will have weak spots like hunters... I really don't know

and...they can dual wield their twin flesh cannons!

If it's not the Hooters, I'm betting on the oompa loompa's.

I thought I read something about the prophets serving a hire power. Perhaps that's the new alien.

Maybe the secret alien is a forerunner shape changing construct that looks like a dog, and it's name is Optimutt Prime!

It's a thing that looks kinda like a manatee. If you look at the pre xbox part in halo section, theres a pic of it sum where. Theres also pic of it in the Halo guide, and its describeds in the Fall of Reach

Hmm...mind control would be bad. They'd probably start sending your own Marines at you, so you have to kill the marines to get to them. I hope that doesn't mean the MC will get a Tazer.

or...Tribbles! That's the new alien! The act as the anti-flood, turning flood into harmless (but annoying) balls of fluff.
