The Drinol are Covenant beasts that did not make it into Halo 2, and it is unknown if they will be seen in future products of the Halo universe.
In the Behind the Scenes DVD, Drinol are described as huge beasts that are kept contained and segregated from the other forces. Possessing phenomenal strength, they are used to smash enemy vehicles.
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.
It was possible that it could have been a replacement for the Hunters in the Covenant Loyalist military in Halo 3, but was instead scrapped for the Hunter to keep players confused about which alien was with which faction.
