So, like most people, I was blown away by how stunning the new engine looks and cannot wait for Halo Infinite to release, whenever that will be (Please, take your time, I can wait). But my biggest question isn’t about Chief’s armour or which of the Halos appears, it’s who walks by the tent at 0:40 in the trailer? Now, it is possible that they’re nobody (Or even one of the animals seen in the trailer, but I doubt that due to the posture) but I’d say they’re likely an Elite of some sort, possibly the Arbiter, but going off a shadow alone doesn’t really tell us much. Anybody else got an ideas of who it could be?
I thought it was a Mantis, based on the mechanical sounds and because it caused the radio to fall over. Unless I was hearing things, then maybe it was one of those big creatures they cut from Halo CE. I forget what they’re called. Kinda like those big things from Reach but weirder.
Maybe some big animal given the heavy footsteps and the things on its back.

You mean the thorn beasts?
I figured it was one of those Rhino things

There are a few frames where there seems to be a Hunter’s head along with a shielded arm swinging back, so I think it’s a Hunter.
Another Spartan maybe?

Yeah, from Reach. But I think they were inspired by the Sharquoi (I finally looked them up) which were one of the creatures that were supposed to be in CE. And since we’re returning to a Halo Ring that has animal life, as it was originally intended, it would be cool to see these things stomping around and interact with them.

I think you mean gùta from Halo: Reach that is what was inspired by sharquoi. But i just thought you meant thorn beasts which were also cut.
The thorn beasts are something i have hoped would make an appearance at some point in a game. They have rather interesting design.
its not a mantis and is to fast and fluent to be a hunter.
it could be a brute or other large biped
it would be cool if it was a banished brute or if it was Atriox
the “rhino things” resemble the now extinct brontotherium. i suposse the thing behind the tent was one too.

Which we know could very well happen. I can’t wait to see how they twist the two games together to clash.

Oh! Those things … I remember them. That would be cool. If this tech demo shows us anything, its an abundance of wildlife, so I don’t see why we couldn’t have all of these creatures, old & new. Especially if the scale of the environments is as large as the demo suggests.
