*While the existing volumes in the Forerunner Saga describe the Forerunner's biological appearance, the tone and language of those descriptions largely does not provide an exact depiction, such as in what specific ways did their physiology differ from the collective human genera. In a set of videos released shortly after ''Halo: Cryptum'' was released, a book signing event was held to help further promote the book and explain its developmental background. In the final video of the 3-part series, in addition to further explanations, it is briefly mentioned that at a fairly early point in the development regarding the specifics of the Forerunner's appearance without their armor. One concept had them appearing as tall, sharp-featured beings who were extremely similar in appearance to the [[Wikipedia:Elf (Middle-earth)|elves]] of [[Wikipedia:J. R. R. Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s [[Wikipedia:Tolkien's legendarium|works]]. Though not shown to the public, this concept evolved to combine that with more exotic physical changes to that physical template.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Detail/part-3/701dc23a-6251-43d5-a435-7f8e128db6d6 Greg Bear and 343 Industries discuss Halo: Cryptum at a recent book signing video part 3, 4:24-4:40]</ref> Whether or not this has been retained is unclear, though that may be conceptual origin point for the physical differences amongst the different Forerunner rates. | *While the existing volumes in the Forerunner Saga describe the Forerunner's biological appearance, the tone and language of those descriptions largely does not provide an exact depiction, such as in what specific ways did their physiology differ from the collective human genera.
