The Drinol was a close match to the Drinniol in both appearance and combat role. Though modeled and animated during the development of ''Halo'', the Drinol was cut from the game.<ref>[https://twitter.com/game_fabricator/status/277820832221380608 '''Twitter''': ''I animated the only existing one...'']</ref> It was later planned to be included in ''Halo 2'' as the Sharquoi, but was eventually removed from the game once again. | ||
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 name="Envoy186"/> | The Sharquoi are mentioned briefly in ''[[Conversations from the Universe]]'', a pamphlet included with the ''Halo 2 Limited Edition''.
