Archangel Tyrael Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 The new enemy revealed via McFarlane toys packaging today, certainly looks like a totally new enemy at first glance. Following a little bit of digging the dark recesses of my memory, I think this may not be their first appearance in Halo. [spoilers after the jump] The Crawlers: (Attention, i found this and i am quoting the person, my actual opinion of these things are nelkrons http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/8320-nelkrons-who-are-they-do-they-actually-exist/.) I'm sure like me, your first thought was that this was a totally new addition to the Halo universe. After a little bit of thinking I remembered these guys: So far as I'm aware they're unnamed creatures that only ever appeared in the . There's certainly a very close resemblance between the creatures from '99 and the Crawlers we see today. Not identical, but then nothing in the E3 '99 demo made into the games without substantial changes. It's just my theory, but it'd be really cool if 343 were pulling in bits of long lost Halo lore like this. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a live dinosaur Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 This thing looks awesome. This actually is the first thing I saw of the Halo Demo. They would be awesome to fight. They look as if they could be enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look a bit similar lol Those creatures were actually recreated and put into Halo Reach, btw. This is a Guta. If you look closely, you'll notice the stub of the tail, they both have three "fingers", both have elongated lower teeth, and both are hairless. The reason for this is because Bungie had been looking for a way to incorporate that creature into the game without adding to much of a "Are we fighting enemies or animals" feel to the game. So, they made them into a sort of "Boss" for the level Nightfall in Halo Reach. The Guta also bears a surprising resemlance to a Drinol, another cut creation from Halo 2. It appears that the Guta is a mixture of the Blind Wolf (your picture) and the Drinol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAtStateFarm Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Alot of things have been cut, Like Halo 2's ending... LOL i hope they don't cut it out this time, maybe a wild-life creature like the Moa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

36-2071 Pragmatic Avarice Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I'm guessing those lookers will come in groups of fifty to seventy swarms? Hmm. Let's just hope they bring something new to the table and have some difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 They don't look very threatening as plastic. I hope that the enemies are scary like the flood were in Halo 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorB77 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 The nelkrons we believe were made up by somebody on waypoint. I didn't find any information on them besides on the forum. I searched for around an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see similarities at all actually, 4 legs, 2 legs is the main difference to me, and while the crawler looks mechanical in a way the other one is obviously organic. I think the crawler is gonna end up being a mechanical representation of a big cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer K34 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 im thinking is a forerunner created species and will not have to much of a perpose other then like wolves in age of empire, theyre probably just trying to expound the whole idea of a foreign planet more with other living things on it. ( i mean why is it that there are no species living where ever we visit but giant Biomes of plants) of course with the exeption of reaches creatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loganator879 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 It kind of looks like BRUMAK from gears of war anybody else think so just a miniature one at that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer K34 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 mehh these things die faster then a drag derby, brumaks are by far more superior lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActThree Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Guys, these are not the mysterious enemies. The back of the box says the secret enemy will be revealed this holiday. They could just be wildlife... These could hardly be universe threatening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
