very interesting:
in coversations from the universe, there are two Elites talking to each other.
At one point, one Elite says "soon we may be able to use the Sharquoi". wtf?
What is a Sharquoi? New Halo 3 alien? Most likely....
It's not any other Covenant...
Grunt = Unggoy
Jackal = Kig'yar
Hunter = Lekgolo
Elite = Shangheili
Brute = Jiralhanae
Drone = Yanme'e
and Prophets =.... Prophets...
There has been some speculation that the Sharquoi could be a Drinol (a massive beast that the covenant keep chained up and use only when desperate ), but I dun think so....
the main point is, that this is a new alien that wasn't in Halo 2... we're already being fed clues...
Here are some pics and videos of an unused character found in Halo 2's character files... it's Flood, and many believe that it's an infected Drinol.
