The Drinol are an enemy created for Halo that has yet to be in any Halo game. Instead of putting Brutes in Halo: Reach, could the Drinol perhaps take their place? Here is why I think they should.

Drinols are similar to Hunters in size and anti-vehicular purposes, as Hunters were considered "tank-killers" in Halo Wars. This could give them an anti-vehicular purpose as well as an Infantry killer.

Like the Brutes, Drinol were meant to go berserk. Now imagine a beat the size of a Hunter that is going ape -blam!- at you. What will you do, run it over? Ha! The Drinol could be better Brutes then the Brutes themselves were.

For a scale of what we are dealing with here, take a look at the Sharquoi from Marathon, a beast many speculate are is a Drinol in the Marathon universe.

For added fun, maybe they could be mounted by Grunts or Elites. They are certainly large enough in theory, but ti could be silly. Or it could be amazing.

What do you think? Would these be worthy enemies?

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

The Drinol have yet to be introduced as Canon, and I doubt they will be. The Covenant species thus far is a very complete collection.

It's kind of hard to just inject a species into a canon with such little wiggle room.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

The Drinol is not cannon.

I would like as many new species as possible to be in Halo Reach.
