==Production notes==
Outside of the [[Halo Universe|''Halo'' universe]], brontotheres are believed to have gone [[Extinction|extinct]] around 33.9 million years ago, as opposed to still existing on Earth just around 100,000 years ago. Brontotheres were modeled for ''[[Halo Infinite]]'''s [[Halo Infinite - E3 2018 - Announcement Trailer|announcement trailer]] at [[Wikipedia:Electronic Entertainment Expo 2018|E3 2018]].<ref name="HIT">''[[Halo Infinite]]'' [[Halo Infinite - E3 2018 - Announcement Trailer|reveal trailer]]</ref> During the trailer's production, they were internally referred to as "space rhinos" by members of [[343 Industries]].<ref name="TMOTHIAT">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTreFoLAufw '''YouTube''' - ''The Making of the Halo Infinite Announce Trailer'']</ref>
