BOBs | BOBs were first considered Easter eggs in ''Halo: Reach''. However, in 2015 it was revealed in the "Sangheili" article in the Universe section of [[Halo Waypoint]] that the golden Ranger was indeed a canonical rank : [[Sangheili Ranger Commander]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/sangheili '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Sangheili'']</ref> The white BOBs may also be canonical to some extent, as the Sangheili use a complex color coding which has never been properly depicted in the games, for gameplay purposes.<ref>[http://www.haloarchive.com/forum/topic/9-canon-fodder-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=135198 '''Halo Archive''': ''Canon Fodder Thread'' GrimBrother One's first comment]</ref> For example, a white Zealot has made a canonical appearance in [[Halo: Escalation Issue 15|''Halo: Escalation'' Issue 15]]. | ||
