Sharquoi

"Q: What's a Sharquoi?"

- Press

"A: Very freaking dangerous."

- Frank O'Conner

The Sharquoi is in the Conversations from the Universe booklet found in Halo 2: Limited Collecter's Edition.

Background
The Sharquoi didn't make it into Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2 or Halo 3. It is unknown if it will make it into future games.

This has been assumed to be another Covenant race, although it is not known for sure. In a deleted scene, a mural can be seen showcasing the Covenant races, including a very large creature believed by some to be a Sharquoi. However, this creature could also be a Drinol, which had not yet been cut at that stage of development. There is no direct evidence, then, to state that the Sharquoi is the large creature, although it is difficult to think what else it could be. There is even a possibility that Sharquoi is the Covenant word for Drinol, although the name Drinol does not follow the same patterns of all the other human names. Also there is the possibility that it is in fact a propet standing upright. This is supported when the Prophet of Truth Stands to kill Commander Keyes with a spiker.

Possible Halo 3 Appearance
Frankie has talked about playing Halo 3, and fighting Grunts and "something larger than a Grunt,"Giving some a false hope that the Sharquoi had made it into the game. . KP also mentions fighting Grunts and a "CENSORED". Unfortunately, it was not included.
