The Guardians have a storied history with the ''Halo'' series, with their core idea dating back to the development of ''[[Halo 2]]''. Notably, the Guardians were heavily developed for ''[[Halo 3]]'', with many pieces of concept art created for their design. The Guardians were to feature in the eponymous level ''[[Guardian Forest]]'' as enemies, with a model and animations being created for them, and the in-game character in iteration. In the level, the player would have been able to rip out the Guardian's "eye" and use it as a laser weapon.{{Ref/Site|Id=GDC|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.gdcvault.com/browse/gdc-09/play/1284|Site=GDC Vault|Page=Building Your Airplane While Flying: Production at Bungie}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Powerpoint|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://downloads.bungie.net/presentations/gdc_bungieproduction_march2009.pptx|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Building Your Airplane While Flying: Production at Bungie|Detail=Original presentation download}} | The Guardians have a storied history with the ''Halo'' series, with their core idea dating back to the development of ''[[Halo 2]]''.

According to ''[[Art of Halo 3]]'', ''"The Guardian evokes memories of Compilers (from one of Bungie's previous games, [[Marathon]]) and the robes of a High Court Judge - which is fitting because, as anyone who has encountered them can tell you, their judgments are swift and final, and their logic utterly alien."''{{Ref/Book|Id=AoH3P31|AoH3|Section=With Friends Like These|Page=31}} | |||
