[[File:Halo Spectre Concept.jpg|thumb|250px|The original Spectre present in the E3 2000 Trailer, at the time called the "Shadow".]]
The Spectre was one of [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved vehicles|many vehicles]] originally developed and intended for inclusion in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. The vehicle was showcased in the [[Halo E3 2000 trailer|''Halo'' E3 2000 trailer]] as employed by the [[Sangheili]], though displayed some notable changes from the version ultimately included in ''Halo 2''. The vehicle was notably a red rather than a purple-crimson, and had a hovering turret similar to that of the {{Pattern|Mamua'uda|Shade}} as opposed to the plasma cannon found in subsequent versions. At this time in development, the Spectre was known as the "Shadow" - not to be confused with the [[Ruwaa-pattern Shadow|vehicle of the same name]] which was also cut from ''Combat Evolved''.{{Ref/Site|Id=Origin|URL=https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=630|Site=Bungie.net|Page=The Origin of Halo|D=18|M=1|Y=2021}}
 
The Shadow concept was later revived in ''[[Halo 2]]'' as the {{Pattern|Wuzum|Spectre}}; renamed due to the Shadow name having been given to the {{Pattern|Ruwaa|Shadow}}. The original ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' design for the Spectre was restored to working condition for inclusion in the ''[[Halo Editing Kit]]'' as per the efforts of the [[Digsite]] project.{{Ref/Site|Id=HWCRF|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/cutting-room-floor|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Cutting Room Floor|D=07|M=07|Y=2022}} This original Spectre was fully-canonised in a special issue of [[Canon Fodder]] in [[2022]] as the {{Pattern|Wuchek|Spectre}}.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}}
