I was playing the Silent Cartographer on Legendary today when I came across somthing I have never seen before. After I had beaten the level, instead of getting on echo 419 i hopped back in my hog and went for a drive. Thats when I spotted it. From a distance it looked like a big pink blob, but as i got closer, I realized it was a creature. It simply sat there...floating, and it completely ignored me. It made no noise, and when I shot it, notthing happened. It was so weird. It has six eyes running down what looked like a long, droopy snouth, and it had tentacles. The spot a saw it was right anround the rock that the 3 jackals are perched on... Has anybody else seen this? I have no screen shot. But is this maybe an easter egg I stumbled across, or should I fear for my sanity.

A big....pink..blobby thing with 6 eyes? I'm sorry, that sounds funny though. *Laughs* Anyway, I've never seen it...Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever played a level on legendary either.. *mauled*.

A few times on the SC level I've driven around a bit, but I've never seen that... from your description, however, it almost seems to fit the profile of the Covenant engineer (one of the Covenant aliens that only appear in the Halo books), but I don't see what it would be doing on the SC level since engineers weren't included it Halo. I'd like to try and find this blobby thing myself, but I don't really know what rock with 3 jackals you're referring to.

The spot I am referring to is the area right pafter the beach landing. After you mop up covy resistance to the landings. Echo 419 drops of a warthog. Then you get in the hog and head counter clockwise up the island toward where the hill leading to the first facility is (the one where the cartographer is.) But before that is a clearing with a long incline in the back with enemies. The big rock in the one right around the bend where there are a bunch of jackals waiting for you. And im not crazy because my roomate and another kid from my dorm saw it too.


Oh and I also speculated that is was an engineer. Even though its not what I pictured one to look like...

If I were you, I would definately fear for my sanity.

It was in a gallery listed as Pre- Xbox Halo shot and this was at the end. This is what I saw, only it was a little fatter. And I found another pic on this website called HALO LIBRARY. Its basically a sight that contains a database on everything mentioned in the halo universe. But the website is down for repairs now.
