'''Helioskrills''' are predatory creatures that live in high, mountainous regions on [[Sanghelios]]. In order to feed themselves, they remain completely still at a location, imitating a rock, waiting for unsuspecting prey to pass by. There is a [[Sangheili]] stance modeled on the Helioskrill's hunting position. It allows the performer to appear to be resting, but actually allows the user to be ready to spring to their feet in a matter of less than a second. The user must have a certain amount of stamina, however, because it can cause leg muscles to burn. [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee used this position whilst being held in a cell by [[human]]s in [[the Rubble]] with three other [[Special Operations Sangheili]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 188''</ref>
