Apparently based on the Weekly Update and the Game Informer article we have this information:

wish we could say more about his secret character, since it will rock harder than a quarry when you see it in-game. - per 04/30/04 // Weekly Update


And to paraphrase the Game Informer article the new creature is capable of flipping over Warthogs (Issue 133, pg. 46)

So, what could it be? It could be another race in the Covenant alliance, although since Frank basically laid out the basics of the Covenant Hierarchy last night, I think its safe that for Halo 2, the basic characters we have will remain the same in terms of the Covenant. But, I could be wrong.

It could be a miscellaneous creature on world we haven't seen yet, perhaps a monster of some sort or a weapon meant to guard a Forerunner construct. Maybe a specific species of animal that is indigenous to this planet and is massive in size.

Or the two could be completely separate entities, but it seems odd that out of the new characters we know will arrive, both the magazine and Frank comment on the same subject. My guess is that they're the same...

What do you think?

wait wait, frankie never said creature, just new character. could be another human character, you never know. to say it is a new "creature", that doesnt mean the that creature and the one from game informer are the same. could be 2 different species

Maybe its a giant elephant like from LOTR and it will hit you with its trunk then step on you and laugh and then game over, but I could be wrong.

Well, let's see... we don't know if all the halo's house the flood, so maybe this new halo will house this new creature? Let's see, the forerunners captured and sealed the flood to study them, what kept them from doing so to a different specieces??

Y'know, you're right and it has been corrected.

I think by character, he was talking about the other Spartans. In FS the master chief goes back to Reach and rescues some of his fellow Spartans. maybe the guy Frankie was talking about was tweaking the AI and such for the spartans. because they cant act the same way as the other humans do. They'll probably be quicker to act as a team and utilize the surroundings better than the not as awesomely equipped marines
