Although they do not appear in any of the Halo games, the Covenant Drone Engineers have been mentioned in Halo fiction several times and were fully realized in design terms. Their combination of insect organics and cybernetics makes them a unique-looking creature in the Covenant bestiary. And since they can actually fly, with the aid of gas-filled bladders on their backs, they behave differently, too. This species can be biomechanically and cybernetically altered to suit specific tasks, other than engineering and maintenance. <ref>[[The Art of Halo]], page 46</ref>
Although they do not appear in any of the Halo games, the Covenant Drone Engineers have been mentioned in Halo fiction several times and were fully realized in design terms. They are mainly stored onboard shisp to assist [[Engineers]] and [[Drones]] in their repair and maintenance duties, and though they bear both words in their name are true mechanical drones, rather than hybrids. Seven such drones were stored aboard the Covenant Flagship [[Ascendant Justice]], and were likely taken back to Earth by the UNSC forces that had captured the ship.<ref>Halo: First Strike</ref>
