The fan-named '''Hugging [[Sangheili]]''' can be seen in a special non-canon cutscene at the end of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' by beating [[The Maw (Level)|The Maw]] on [[Legendary]] difficulty.
The fan-named '''Hugging [[Sangheili|Elite]]''' can be seen in a special [[Canon|non-canon]] [[cutscene]] at the end of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' by beating ''[[The Maw]]'' on the [[Legendary]] difficulty.


A [[Stealth Sangheili|Stealth Elite]] is seen wrestling with [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]] over an [[MA5B Assault Rifle]]. They abruptly end their fight when they hear a rumble and realize the nearby ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]'' is beginning to explode. Johnson then spreads his arms, saying, ''"Oh shi--"'' and then ''"This is it, baby. Hold me."'' Before the ship's reactor detonates, the Elite obliges and hugs Johnson. Just before the screen whites out, the Elite moves one of its hands down to grab Johnson's rear.

The cutscene, while only viewable on the Legendary difficulty setting, is not considered canon in the Halo universe, since it was specifically made as fan-oriented humor. This contention is supported in the fully-canon novel ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', which states that Johnson and a few other survivors made it onto a [[Pelican]] just in time to escape the explosion, which throws the existence of this specific Elite into doubt.

According to [[Bungie]] members commenting on the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' cutscene, its original concept did not involve the Hugging Sangheili at all; Johnson would be shown on board a Pelican dropship. It is assumed this was omitted so as not to demean Johnson's character.
==Trivia==
*The Hugging Elite's attempt to take Johnson's weapon is unusual, as most Sangheili would rather fight unarmed than use human weapons.


==Trivia==
*The Hugging Sangheili's attempt to take the Sergeant's [[MA5B]] is unusual, as in several Halo novels it has been stated that members of the Covenant (and Sangheili in particular, with the exception of Jiralhanae) would rather fight unarmed than use human weapons. It is likely that the Elite simply wanted to disarm Johnson.
*Johnson is not actually holding the weapon directing.
