Numerous monitors followed and inspected the human survivors of the [[Onyx Conflict]] in November [[2552]], notably pricking [[Halsey]] in the right thigh with a needle-like protrusion and testing her blood. [[Linda-058]] destroys the monitor before it can leave believing it had attacked Halsey. Halsey suggests that it could detect exhaled ketones and was simply monitoring her because she was hungry.<ref name="gl203"/> The [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-III]] [[Lucy-B091]] later encountered the [[Huragok]] [[Prone to Drift]] which utilised a monitor to inspect her. <ref name="gl277">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 277 - 288''</ref> | Numerous monitors followed and inspected the human survivors of the [[Onyx Conflict]] in November [[2552]], notably pricking [[Halsey]] in the right thigh with a needle-like protrusion and testing her blood.

The monitors are described to be a matte-gray cylinder no larger than a wine bottle<ref name="gl040"/>, and are capable of similar anti-gravity propulsion like Sentinels. [[Kelly-087]], when holding a monitor, remarks that it "feels like it's not here. It doesn't weigh anything".<ref name="gl078">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 78''</ref> They contain a spongy material which can be saturated by substance samples for analysis.<ref name=" | The monitors are described to be a matte-gray cylinder no larger than a wine bottle<ref name="gl040"/>, and are capable of similar anti-gravity propulsion like Sentinels.
