Hugging Elite
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings Template:Not Canon Template:Covenant Character Infobox
The fan-named Hugging Elite can be seen in a special non-canonical cutscene at the end of Halo: Combat Evolved by beating The Maw on the Legendary difficulty.
A Stealth Elite is seen wrestling with Sergeant Johnson over an assault rifle. They abruptly end their fight when they hear a rumble and realize the nearby Template:UNSCship is beginning to explode. Johnson then spreads his arms, saying, "Oh shi--" and then, "This is it, baby. Hold me." Before the ship's reactor detonates, the Elite obliges and hugs Johnson. Just before the screen whites out, the Elite moves one of its hands down to grab Johnson's rear.
The cutscene, while only viewable on the Legendary difficulty setting, is not considered canon in, since it was specifically made as fan-oriented humor. This contention is supported in the novel Halo: First Strike, which reveals that Johnson and a few other survivors boarded a Pelican just in time to escape the explosion, which throws the existence of this specific Elite into doubt.
