Several moa statues can be found in each level on any difficulty and take the form of a small golden [[Moa]] - visible only in the classic graphics of ''Combat Evolved'' and not the [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Anniversary]] remaster.{{Ref/Reuse|Dec2022}} Upon being discovered, the statues can be destroyed, with the [[Challenges/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|weekly challenge]] ''Eye Spy'' requiring the destruction of three such Moa for completion. Three levels are chosen to spawn Moa within each week (observable on the challenge itself), with each level getting three statues chosen, meaning they are not all consistently placed all the time.{{Ref/YouTube|u8OCtAegCV8|Halo|Seasonal Sitrep: MCC Season 8, Mythic}} As such, this page lists all potential statue locations. Statues marked as (Broken) spawn every week and don't count towards the challenge, even when the challenge selects the level the statues are placed on. Statues marked as (Unobtainable) denote statues placed in cutscene rooms that aren't accessible.
