Thorn beast: Difference between revisions

Thorn beasts were originally meant to appear in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', but were cut from the final game. The thorn beasts were going to be rideable creatures for [[Marine]]s before they were cut for AI issues. They were also originally meant to appear in ''[[Halo Wars]]''. The game developers stated that they would have reacted to units and battles around them. In the videos however, they merely ran away from units, not battles; if there was a bombing next to it, it wouldn't have flinched. However, since the videos were made as the game was still in development, this lack of a reaction may have been changed for a more real gaming experience if the creature would have made the final cut. Its first ''canonical'' appearance was in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', where it is consumed by a Jiralhanae pack.
