Keelbug
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Keelbug is a deleted Covenant race seen in the Halo 2 Collector's Edition Video. It was supposed to come into the battlefield, cut dead bodies into sections, and then fly off with them, as a way of cleaning up the bodies. They were originally to be used in Halo:CE as a clever method of removing NPC corpses to free up memory.
The concept of an insect-like creature as an enemy may have led to the design of the Drone that appears in Halo 2 and Halo 3. Template:Deletemat Template:Deleted Covenant
