Guardian Custode
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Guardians are Forerunner constructs.[1] At some point in 2558, a Guardian would have an encounter with the Swords of Sanghelios, led by the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam and ONI forces led by Jameson Locke.[2]
Description
It has an angular head that is set upon a pair of phoenix-like wings. Multiple cords can be seen hanging from its body as well. Additionally, it is capable of producing powerful shockwaves.[3]
Behind-the-scenes
- First seen in the Halo Xbox One announcement trailer, this construct bears resemblance to the description of a war sphinx, albeit far larger. However, Jeff Easterling of 343 Industries later confirmed that it was not a war sphinx.[4]
- When asked about the Forerunner construct seen in the Halo 5: Guardians key art on Twitter, the game's Creative Director Josh Holmes replied that "The answer is in plain sight."[5]
