The '''Megg''' is an affectionately named Easter egg placed in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' by lead designer [[Jaime Griesemer]] as a gift to his girlfriend Meg (aka Pallor of Subnova). The Megg was hidden in the level ''[[Pillar of Autumn (Level)|Pillar of Autumn]]'' under a series of almost impossible feats to ensure that no one could find it accidentally. Until the two of them started leaving hints on Internet forums, no one else knew of the Megg's existence. The Megg itself is a heart made from [[human]] blood, with an "M" made of bullet holes in the center.

[[Jaime Griesemer]], lead designer of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], gave his then girlfriend Meg (aka Pallor of Subnova) a gift in the form of an easter egg. The egg, affectionately called the '''Megg''', was hidden in [[Pillar of Autumn (Level)]] under a series of almost impossible feats to ensure that no one could find it accidentally. The Megg itself is a heart made from [[Homo Sapiens|human]] blood, with an "M" made of bullet holes in the centre.

There is also a Megg egg located in Halo 2. Discovered by de-compiling the game script by "Soldier of Light" from [http://www.highimpacthalo.org High Impact Halo], ''Halo 2'''s version turned out to be much less complicated. It is activated by going through the first level, [[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]], on [[Legendary]], without losing your shields once. Upon reaching the final bomb room, a sound clip will play. The text of the clip is: ''"Megg, please report to the red courtesy phone. Megg, to the red courtesy phone."''
