Although only in the conceptual stages at this point, ambient life forms will be encountered in the gameplay. They may be found on the battlefield, and might react to the actions of the player's forces (such as firing a weapon, flying around or near them, etc.).<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/default.aspx ''Halo Wars'' Update; 2008-02-07, Ambient Life].</ref> Examples include the [[Space Owl]], the [[Harvest Whale]], the [[Arctic Beast]], [[Arctic Ice Hound|Ice Hound]] and some sort of [[eel-snake creature]] that has yet to be named.

The ambient life forms will be on the multiplayer maps and they will be interactive. However, in a recent interview, some [[Thorn Beast]] were observed. The [[Thorn Beasts]] seen in the game, merely run away from units, not battles; if there is a bombing next to it, it will not flinch. This has probably been changed for a more realistic gaming experience.
