Originally [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved | Originally [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved creatures#Sharquoi|intended]] for inclusion in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the Sharquoi are originally descended from the Drinniol - a species originally appearing in the ''[[Marathon]]'' franchise. The Sharquoi's concept art was featured in the [[Halo 2 Limited Collector's Edition|Limited Collector's Edition]] behind the scenes documentary, while [[Halo 2 storyboards|storyboards]] featuring them were later showcased. The storyboards in question showcase the Sharquoi as one of many species depicted on the [[Covenant murals]] intended to be used in the opening cutscene for [[Sacred Icon]].{{Ref/Site|URL=http://gamesradar.msn.co.uk/features/default.asp?pagetypeid=2&articleid=31939&subsectionid=1636|Site=gamesradar.com|Page=Halo 2|Quote=How about this for a Halo 2 creature you've never heard of before: a Drinol Beast, a sort of hairless, grey monster with one eye - although there are other drawings of it with two eyes so you can't take for granted that it's going to make the final game.|D=19|M=11|Y=2004}} | ||
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. | 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]].
