The Sharquoi are mentioned briefly in ''[[Conversations from the Universe]]'', a pamphlet included with the ''Halo 2 Limited Edition''. This remained as the sole reference to the Sharquoi in ''Halo'' canon until the 2017 novel ''[[Halo: Envoy]]'', which elaborates on the creatures' nature. The novel even makes clear references to the early placeholder and concept art for the creatures (seen below), including [[:File:3 mural.jpg|a mural]] featured in the early cinematic cutscenes for ''[[Halo 2]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Envoy186}} | The Sharquoi are mentioned briefly in ''[[Conversations from the Universe]]'', a pamphlet included with the ''Halo 2 Limited Edition''.
