*''[[Drinol]]s'' are creatures in the form of bosses that did not make it into the ''Halo'' games. They are thought to have been remade into the [[Flood]]'s Tank Pure Form as there are many similarities between the two.

*''[[Stalker (Species)|Stalker]]s'' are a Covenant race that did not make it into ''[[Halo 2]]'', seen in the ''Halo 2 Collector's Edition Disc''. They were taken from original idea sketches of the Elites in the first ''Halo'' game and were supposed to be very wiry and skeletal, with massive amounts of teeth, similar to sharks.

*''[[Keelbug]]s'' are only seen in the ''Halo 2 Collector's Edition Disc''. They were hybrids of Drones and Brutes, more like Drones but without the insect-like look to them. They were supposed to fly into the battlefield, cut dead bodies into sections, and fly off with them. They seemed to be more like animals than a sentient race.

They were supposed to fly into the battlefield, cut dead bodies into sections, and fly off with them as a creative way of removing NPC corpses to free memory from the game. They seemed to be more like animals than a sentient race.
*''[[Alien Trooper]]s'' are seen in the ''Halo 2 Collector's Edition Disc''. They are understood to be a deleted form of soldier that would complement the [[Elites]] in battle. The only known data on these Covenant are that they were supposed to carry its weapon under their bellies.

*''[[Special Purpose Sniper]]s'' are seen in the ''Halo 2 Collector's Edition Disc''. Their arms were used like a tripod, so they could flip from side to side, without having to switch weapons. They would also be able to hang from trees. This concept appears to have been re-imagined in Halo 3, with Jackal Snipers often being found in trees.
