I'm not entirely sure where to put this thread, but seeing as The Library is about all things Halo on Xbox, and seeing that it is mostly fan-based, I thought some adamant fans or even some Bungie Staff might help me on this.
"The Fall of Reach" by Eric Nylund is about the years of the Master Cheif before the game Halo: Combat Evolved in the story sense. In one of the missions, as outlined in Chapter Twenty, the Master Cheif encountered a new creature:
"They were roughly man-sized creatures - unlike any he had ever encountered. The creatures were vaguely sluglike, with pale, purple-pink skin. Unlike other Covenant forces, they were not bipeds. Instead they had several tentacular apendages sprouting from their thick trunks.
They floated a half meter above the ground, as if the odd, pink bladders on their backs kept them aloft. One alien used a slender tentacle to open the hood of a car. It began to disassemble the car's electric engine, moving with startling speed.
Within twenty seconds all the parts had been arranged in rows.. Finally, the creature simply reassembled the car and floated on its way."
What in heck is it? Or is it something that Halo 3 (pretty please?) will reveal?
