| The '''Drinol''' are [[Covenant]] beasts that were kept contained, but did not make it into [[Halo 2]] and it is unknown if they will 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 used to smash enemy vehicles.
| |
| | |
| In the ''[[Conversations from the Universe]]'' booklet found in ''Halo 2: Limited Collecter's Edition'', an Elite refers to something called the "[[Sharquoi]]". Many assume that it means the Drinol.

| A [http://gamesradar.msn.co.uk/features/default.asp?pagetypeid=2&articleid=31939&subsectionid=1636 Gamesradar article] has this to say:
| |
| | |
| ''How about this for a Halo 2 creature you've never heard of before: a Drinol Beast, a sort of hairless, grey 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.''

| [[Image:Death of a Hulk.jpg|thumb|The Hulk greatly resembles the Drinol.]]
| |
| 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:
| |
| | |
| ''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 itself and mumbling "Drinniol" right before it "picked Johnny up by the shirt and crushed him against a pillar".''
| |
| | |
| They appear in two levels in Marathon and like many of the 'conditioned ranks' are not seen again in Marathon 2 and Infinity. They are seen paired with P'fhor fighters and have no ranged attacks.
