So we saw the creature in the documentary but we did not no if it was a new creature. Now we know thanks to the weekly update last week. So this new creature seems to be a cross between a brute and an elite. The only way I can see that happening is if the covenant did some kind of experimenting?
What do you guys think?

Or it's a creature we already know about, but Bungie doesn't want to give up any part of the storyline.

By Frankie's description as it being "something bigger than a grunt", it leaves the topic very open. He could be protecting the identity of your foes (such as if he said we are fighting elites it may lead to speculation or if he said it was a hunter it may lead to speculation) or perhaps he did this to stir things up and get peopel talking about nothing as he merely wanted to give some aura of mystery to another wise dull update (dull in that it has yet to tell us much of anything crucial yet).

Though I personally am hoping they have put in a drinnol equivilent (old giant hulk moster from marathon). I feel tossing in an enemy which takes multiple magazines (for back then which could result in full ammo loads in halo 3 to kill this thing) to kill along with it being very slow and only a real thrat if it gets a jump on you could be a great element in play. Think about it. Here you have this living wall moving towards you, although normally you could jump around and avoid this thing because of the other enemies around you, you may find yourself forced towards this thing that could melee smack you and rip you to shreds with a single swipe from his massive arms.

Though this may be overimmaginitive input from my fascination of the hulk from marathon.

Also I don't think Frankie was refering to the thing in the documentary (I still think it's some early render of a brute with little fur particle effects but that is just my personal feeling)

...something bigger than a grunt...

I can think of loads of things bigger than Grunts, and most of them aren't Aliens. Think vehicles too guys, and beyond :)

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

I believe it is a Drino. If they have a Drino, they should have a juggernaut.

The quote comes from the last Weekly Update 30/7/06.
The debated creature can be seen in the Documentary on a PC screen.

It doesn't look like a Grunt, Elite, nor Brute. Certain physical features are missing from each possible candidate. There's a Brute beside the Prophet in the background, though.

Maybe it's some u3er spec-ops rebel Grunt trying to rush the Prophet and stick him with a plasma grenade....

There is enough enemies right now they dont need any more. From Halo 1 to Halo 2 the brutes magically appeared out of nowhere.

I do not want this to happen again.

It's not a bad guess to assume the Sharquoi. The Elites were discussing on planning to bring in the Sharquoi on the front lines when they found Earth. I wouldn't be surprised if the Elites have this Sharquoi on their side to even out the odds a little for them.

A Drinol would rip apart the Brutes...

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

We know one thing, and if you can't see it, you have problems.

The creature in the Halo 3 trailer documentary video and the creature Frankie was talking about are two different creatures.

Think about it.

The creature in the documentary is about the same size or smaller than a Grunt.

Frankie was talking about something bigger, and probably a lot bigger, judging by the way he said it.

Read the bold print:

Today, I swear I saw some Grunts do a classic pincer-movement to trap me in a narrow canyon. I was battling um, something bigger than a Grunt, and suddenly, I'm being peppered by a second group of jerks, mostly Grunts, who'd been sent in around my flanks to take me out.

See?

The way he said it makes us think it is a LOT bigger than a Grunt, even bigger than those things we saw in the documentary.

Maybe there are two new types of Covenant.

Who knows?
