They have not made the final cut in any of the games. However, it may have inspired a [[Flood]] form from Halo 3 known as a Flood [[Tank Form]]. The appearance is similar but the Tank has a hollowed stomach and is a darker tan color. They perform the same job as they did in Marathon, slow, strong moving creatures. They even have a similar growl which indeed sounds like "drinniol". The tank form is even stronger as it can take a player out in a single swing from its mighty arms on Heroic, using the same tactics as the flood forms. They are nowhere near as resilient as their Drinol concepts, however, and are especially vulnerable to plasma and fire-based weapons. It is unknown if the Drinol was to have a similar weak point, or if it would just be a damage sponge. | They have not made the final cut in any of the games.

{{BigQuote|How about this for a Halo 2 creature you've never heard of before: a Drinol Beast, a sort of hairless, gray 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.}} | {{BigQuote|How about this for a Halo 2 creature you've never heard of before: a Drinol Beast, a sort of hairless, gray 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.}} | ||
