I am Harpuia, Ventus Airus

The name of the skull is based on a statement, uttered by Sergeant Johnson in Halo: Combat Evolved (in the last level on Legendary difficulty): "I would have been your daddy, but a dog beat me over the fence!"

It is also the name of the first chapter of the campaign level Assault on the Control Room in Halo: Combat Evolved. Not only is the skull's name a reference to this line, but the skull's description reads "But a dog beat me over the fence" The exception of this is in Halo 3: ODST, where the description reads, "Rare dialog is common and vice versa"
Thank you halopedia!

So you heard I slayed a Balrog?

I would have been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence. -Sergeant Major Avery Junior Johnson, Service Number 48789-20114-AJ, from dialogue in Halo: Combat Evloved

I would have been your daddy is also the name of the first part of the Halo: Combat Evolved level Assault on the Control Room.

Halo forum theory - Humans would be leading the covenant as forerunner, but the flood forced them to destroy and subsequently restart life throughout the galaxy.
