The '''Sharquoi''' are a race of powerful creatures that were biomechanically altered by the [[Forerunner]]s to fight the [[Flood]]. While the Sharquoi are little more than animals on their own, the Forerunners implanted them with devices enabling them to be mentally controlled ''en masse'' by a single individual via the ''[[vertex]]'', a central neural interface. Left in [[Slipspace field pod|stasis]] following the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], a number of Sharquoi were later found by the [[Covenant]], but were rarely used in combat as the Covenant lacked effective means of controlling them.{{Ref/Reuse|Envoy186}} After recovering the ''vertex'' from [[Installation 00]], the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]] intended to use hundreds of thousands of the creatures in his own plot to gain power. Though he nearly succeeded, Hekabe's plan was foiled by [[Spartan-II]] [[Gray Team]], the [[Surakan Militia Volunteers]] and [[Rojka 'Kasaan]] who [[Battle of the Sharquoi Hive|destroyed the hive]] and all of the creatures within using a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=HEnv}} | The '''Sharquoi''' are a race of powerful creatures that were biomechanically altered by the [[Forerunner]]s to fight the [[Flood]].
