The '''chaefka''', known to ancient humans as a '''neldoruut'''<ref>'''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]''', ''page 230''</ref> and colloquially known as the '''tusk beast''',<ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-jurassic-ark '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Jurassic Ark'']</ref> is one of several [[List of animals|species]] encountered by a joint [[UNSC]]–[[Swords of Sanghelios]] task force encountered during an [[Mission to Installation 00|expedition]] to [[Installation 00]] in [[2555]]. They were similar in stature to the polar bears of Earth, but with taloned paws, tusks protruding from their faces, horn-like protrusions at the shoulders, and toothed mouths sealed by a set of six mandibles.<ref>'''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]''', ''pages 174-175''</ref> Chaefka were capable of producing pheromones which had a psychotropic effect on humans.

Chaefka were known to eat vegetation, though their sharp teeth and claws would suggest that they are omnivorous.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 344''</ref> The chaefka encountered on Installation 00 initially attacked the UNSC-Sangheili task force on sight, however evidence suggests that they were acting at the behest of [[monitor]] [[000 Tragic Solitude]], as after the monitor's destruction they reacted to the interlopers with indifference.
