A sketch of the Keel bug.
The Keel bug is a deleted Covenant race seen in the Halo 2 Collector's Edition Video. It was supposed to come into the battlefield, cut dead bodies into sections, and then flies off with them, as a way of cleaning up the bodies. They were originally to be used in Halo: Combat Evolved as a clever method of removing NPC corpses to free up memory. This race would have been a gruesome addition to the Covenant races.
The concept of an insect-like creature as an enemy may have led to the design of the Drone that appears in Halo 2 and Halo 3.
