Bestiarum

The Beastiarum is a compendium of information about the various species involved in the Halo games. It is included exclusively in the Legendary Edition and Collector's Edition of Halo 3. In the Collector's Edition it is a physical book, much like the Gears of War book, 'Destroyed Beauty', while in the Legendary Edition it is included in an expanded digital form on the Legendary-exclusive DVD. The book has renders and a grid outline of sorts of the entities of the Halo Universe. It also includes information about the species' homeworlds and the Forerunner Tech Tier. It is written from a Forerunner point of view and cites its sources including communications from The Arrays, The Shields, and 343 Guilty Spark. It is worth noting however that the aforementioned Monitor's observations are "UNDER INVESTIGATION."
