The '''Drinol''' are [[Covenant]] beasts that did not make it into [[Halo Combat Evolved|''Halo Combat Evolved'']], [[Halo 2|''Halo 2'']], or [[Halo 3|''Halo 3'']], and it is unknown if they will be seen in future products of the [[Halo universe]].

In the Behind the Scenes DVD, Drinol are described as huge beasts that are kept contained and segregated from the other forces. Possessing phenomenal strength, they are often used to smash enemy [[Vehicles|vehicles]].

{{BigQuote|How about this for a Halo 2 creature you've never heard of before: a Drinol Beast, a sort of hairless, gray monster with one eye - although there are other drawings of it with two eyes so you can't take for granted that it's going to make the final game.}}

==Marathon Connection==
Bungie enjoys [[List of Marathon references in Halo|placing links]] to their previous game franchise [[Marathon]] into ''Halo''.

From a description of an enemy in Marathon:
{{BigQuote|The Hulk is an enormous and rather slow creature, but it  is incredibly strong. The science report indicated that it had no body fat, and therefore had to be fed often to keep it active. One crew member reported seeing one of these creatures pointing to it and mumbling "Drinniol" right before it "picked Johnny up by the shirt and crushed him against a pillar".}}

They appeared in two levels in Marathon, and seem to be slow as mentioned above but also unintelligent. With spike-like organs on its skin. The Hulk is pure muscle and has to eat often.
