When Halo CE was being developed, there was an enemy that would have been one of the most difficult aliens to face. It was known as the Drinol. Sadly, the idea was cut out of the game.

These giant beserkers would obviously give a challenge to players and could give the ODSTs a boss fight different than the usual Scarab from Halo 3. Even if they aren't included in Halo 3 ODST, Bungie should definately consider including them in a future Halo game, such as Reach.

Imagine this guy coming at the squad of ODSTs, http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Drinol

I like to call the drinol "sharquoi", but I think of them as the same beast. I would love to see a new enemy and have been waiting for the sharquoi/ drinol since i first heard it mentioned.

That doesn't mean there aren't new enemies. Maybe they just haven't, or won't announce it?

Unlike the Engineers, they have never been seen in a novel, comic, or spin off game. So I say nay.

Actually the Sharquoi was mentioned in the little "conversations from the universe" pamphlet that comes with the halo 2 LE. Two grunts say something like "we have the humans cornered, we may find use for the sharquoi" something like that.

*Sigh*

I wasn't talking about the Engineers, they're totally canon. I was talking about the Drinol.

Yes, I've read that. I was talking about the Drinol, not the Sharquoi. The Sharquoi may indeed be in ODST. I always pictured them as a new form of the Lekgolo, kind of like a giant Hunter.

I love the way the Drinol looks in Marathon. I'd love to fight that beautiful SOB. LOL

Maybe in Reach but not ODST. These Drinel things look like flood and if i remember right during the timeline that ODST takes place the flood did not appear just yet.

I found out about the Engineer earlier. I like using them in Halo Wars, so I'm pretty glad that they are actually going to be used in a Bungie game.

Cool.
I wasn't aware of "The Drinol", but it looks like it's been reincarnated as a Flood Tank Form in Halo 3. So I guess in a way, it's already in one of the Halo games.

I never thought of it that way, but you're right. Maybe Bungie can use the Drinol in order to keep the gameplay element of the Flood Tank Form without actually using the flood.

The Drinol is not the Sharquoi.

I'd love to have a battle against the Drinol, being described as the Hulk's counterpart, it would certainly be formidable to fight.

I am the leader of the Halo Machinima team TEAMHALOSWAT, or THS for short. Make sure to visit www.teamhaloswat.blogspot.com for THS news.

instead of scarabs showing up, drinol beasts do, but if they dont have them in ODST, then they better add them in Reach, please

i think a drinol will be better in halo reach than in halo 3 odst
