"Oh Molly Connoly ruined my life, I thought the world should know."
Say Anything - Every Man Has A Molly

I'm posting this for a few reasons. Some obvious, some not-so-obvious.

Firstly, I've been going through ALL my Halo and Halo 2 stuff to rev myself up for the release of Halo 3 next year. Kind of a way to get me back into the games.

And I was reading "Coversations From The Universe" from the Halo 2 Limited Edition...

When I came across what is known in Covenant language as "The Sharquoi."

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what exactly this was. Is it a new race of Covie we haven't seen? A new weapon? A Battle Strategy?

Has anyone heard of it or covered it before?

Maybe some speculation on what it could be?

I can't find absolutely ANYTHING on this term. I assumed it was a race of Covie we'd met... But turning to the back page... It's NONE of the ones we've met. And my ideas on what it could be have run the gamet. It could even be what they call a "Scarab", but I have no clue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, if this was covered somewhere else, or if someone knows what it is... Otherwise... I think I've found something I've seen nobody talk about before.

It is a blurred line that lies at the edge of Godhood and Insanity. Guess which side of it I am on.

The Sharquoi are the Drinol not the Scarab. At least as far as I know. The way they talked about it in the conversations of the universe made it seem more like a race than a machine. But it is very possible that it could be the Scarab. Never thought of it that way. Always assumed it was the Drinol.

The Sharquoi are Drinols they speak of then like machines because they are these single-minded beast that if gone beserk can even flip the scorpion tank and they were so strong bungie decided that having them be just pure muscle and a armor was enough to make even the Brutes look like Grunts.

Well I think that they will put the Drinol in the 3rd game so the covenant can make up for muscle lost from the elites hunters and grunts. That would be awesome.

I haven't really read anything about a shrquoi but i have read the conversation between the 2 elites and how they were talking to each other. And they were actually sympathetic for humans, how they said 'we didn't even give them a chance to join the covenant' and how the prophets instantly started to be hostile towards humans.
