| '''Helioskrills''' are predatory [[List of animals|creatures]] that live in high, mountainous regions on [[Sanghelios]]. In order to feed themselves, they remain completely still at a location, imitating a rock, waiting for unsuspecting prey to pass by. There is a [[Sangheili]] stance modeled on the helioskrill's hunting position. It allows the performer to appear to be resting, but actually allows the user to be ready to spring to their feet in a matter of less than a second. The user must have a certain amount of stamina, however, because it can cause leg muscles to burn. [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee used this position whilst being held in a cell by [[human]]s in [[the Rubble]] with three other [[Sangheili Zealot]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 188''</ref> Helioskrills are native to [[Zolam]], a state in the continent of [[Qivro]]. [[D'ero 'S'bud]] once succeeded in killing one with a spear, similar to his ancestors.<ref>'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''page 277''</ref> | |

| The helioskrill can also be found in the massive expanses scattered across the mountain ranges of [[Shemlyyn]] on [[Qikost]], one of the two [[Natural satellite|moon]]s of Sanghelios. The population of wild Helioskrills has dwindled due to commercialized hunts favored by wealthy and indulgent [[San'Shyuum]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P231|Enc22|Page=231}}
