The '''Gorgon''' was intended to be a [[Covenant]] anti-air ground vehicle to appear in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', likely filling a similar niche to the [[UNSC]]'s [[Wolverine]]. It used two sturdy legs to carry a bulky chassis and was armed with [[heavy needler]]s capable of shooting down enemy aircraft. It was eventually deleted in favor of the [[Vampire]] for two reasons: it created a recognition problem, confusing players as to whether it was an infantry unit or a vehicle; and the Covenant had too many ground units already, instead needing more aircraft. The Vampire is likewise armed with heavy needler but also features a [[stasis cannon]].
 
The [[Banished]] [[Reaver]] featured in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' bears much resemblance to the Gorgon, and also fill's the Banished's anti-air role.
