[[Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction|Followers]] of [[Sesa 'Refumee]] removed the cowlings from their standard ''Oghal''-pattern Banshees to reveal the glowing blue lights and silver metal of the craft's internal [[Forerunner]]-derived mechanisms. They also bestowed upon their Banshees golden-brown colors intended to represent [[Sanghelios|their homeworld]].{{Ref/Site|Id=HereticBansheeToy|URL=https://web.archive.org/web/20070126131232/http://www.joyridestudios.com/halo2_7_heretic_banshee.asp|Site=Joyride Studios|Page=Heretic Banshee|D=14|M=02|Y=2022}} The Type-26AZ is otherwise nearly identical to standard ''Oghal''-pattern Banshees. These [[Sangheili]] would do the same to some of their {{Pattern|Is'belox|Banshee}}s, creating the [[Te'ved-pattern Banshee|''Te'ved''-pattern]] variant. | ||

The | The ''Drailaac''-pattern Banshee is the "heretic" Banshee featured in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and the campaign component of ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' - the heretic Banshee seen in the game's multiplayer mode is the {{Pattern|Te'ved|Banshee}}. The vehicle behaves identically in-game to the standard Banshee. The design was not given a formal designation difference until a 2015 [[Halo Waypoint]] universe entry.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | ||
