The '''Sharquoi''', colloquially known as ''' | The '''Sharquoi''', colloquially known as '''Behemeoths''',{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} are a race of [[Sentience|sapient]] humanoids, imposing in stature and extremely social in nature. Individual Sharquoi are unintelligent on their own - and may be considered little more than animals in that circumstance{{Ref/Reuse|Envoy}} - but are able to pool collective consciousness to function as a single horde entity.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||
The Sharquoi were biomechanically altered by the [[Forerunner]]s to fight the [[Flood]], implanting them with devices enabling them to be mentally controlled ''en masse'' by a single individual via the ''[[vertex]]'', a central neural interface. Left in [[Slipspace field pod|stasis]] following the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], a number of Sharquoi were later found by the [[Covenant]] and inducted into the [[Covenant fringe]], but were rarely used in combat as the Covenant lacked effective means of controlling them.{{Ref/Reuse|Envoy186}} After recovering the ''vertex'' from [[Installation 00]], the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]] intended to use hundreds of thousands of the creatures in his own plot to gain power. Though he nearly succeeded, Hekabe's plan was foiled by [[Spartan-II]] [[Gray Team]], the [[Surakan Militia Volunteers]] and [[Rojka 'Kasaan]] who [[Battle of the Sharquoi Hive|destroyed the hive]] and all of the creatures within using a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]].<ref name="Envoy">'''Halo: Envoy'''</ref> | The Sharquoi were biomechanically altered by the [[Forerunner]]s to fight the [[Flood]], implanting them with devices enabling them to be mentally controlled ''en masse'' by a single individual via the ''[[vertex]]'', a central neural interface.
