Megg

Jaime Griesemer, lead designer on Halo: Combat Evolved, gave his then girlfriend Meg (aka Pallor of Subnova) a gift in the form of an easter egg. The egg, affectionally called the Megg, was hidden in Pillar of Autumn (Level) under a series of bizarre triggers (almost impossible feats) to ensure that no one could find it accidentally. The Megg itself is a heart made from human blood, with an M made from bullet holes in the center.

 * 12) When you get to the bridge, run to the other side without triggering the cinematic and jump down into the small pit.

Halo 2
There is also a Megg egg located in Halo 2. Discovered by decompiling the game script by Soldier of Light from High Impact Halo, Halo 2's version turned out to be much less complicated, while no less impressive. It is activated by going through the first level, Cairo Station, on Legendary, without losing your shields once. Upon reaching the final bomb room, a sound clip will play. The text of the clip is: "Megg, please report to the red courtesy phone. Megg, to the red courtesy phone."
