Blind wolf[edit]

Main article: Morolaath

The "blind wolf" was a creature designed by Halo: Combat Evolved art director Marcus Lehto to be included in that game.[1][2] According to that early design, a blind wolf would have a symbiotic relationship with some kind of insectoid creature.[3] This "bug" would plant its stinger at the base of the wolf's cranium and in this way allow it to see through the eyes of the bug.[4] Then, when the blind wolf caught and killed its prey, the bug would be permitted to share in eating the carcass of whatever had been killed.[3][4] Not only would blind wolves exist in groups in some environments of the game, but they were planned to be able to be ridden by the player's character.[1] Ultimately, they had to be cut from the game because of problems with artificial intelligence.[1]
