The Sharquoi were saved from being rendered non-canon thanks to the release of ''[[Conversations from the Universe]]'', with the Sharquoi mentioned in passing in a conversation between two [[Sangheili|Elites]]. The [[2017]] novel ''[[Halo: Envoy]]'' later expanded on the Sharquoi and their in-universe mythos.
