Hmm, HFFL SCOOP???<\/p>\n<p>The Drinol I&#8217;ve heard about long ago. As too the Thornbeast. I really dig the Covenant Bomber.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mutated-T-Rex.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14077\" alt=\"Mutated T-Rex\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mutated-T-Rex-600x450.jpeg\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mutated-T-Rex-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mutated-T-Rex-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mutated-T-Rex-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mutated-T-Rex.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a>I as yet can not confirm an official name for this beast. So, for now, I&#8217;m calling it a Murex. That&#8217;s a splice of the words mutant rex as in mutant tyrannosaurus rex. Possibly the Guta from Reach evolved from this???<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sand-Dog-Yanmme-e.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14078\" alt=\"Sand Dog Yanmme-e\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sand-Dog-Yanmme-e-600x453.jpeg\" width=\"584\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sand-Dog-Yanmme-e-600x453.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sand-Dog-Yanmme-e-300x226.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a>An early sketch gives us land and air creatures. Again no names for either. For the bug, I&#8217;m going to make an assumption this turned into the Yanme&#8217;e. (Though I could be wrong, so don&#8217;t quote me there.) The other I&#8217;m going to call a Sand Dog. Again, not official names.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kestrel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14079\" alt=\"Kestrel\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kestrel.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kestrel.jpg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kestrel-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kestrel-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>Finally we have this most awesome concept. The &#8220;Kestrel&#8221;. While the ship is known (barely), this particular design of it has NOT been seen before by the general public. Well, at least none that I can find that predates today.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, I need to thank Paul Russel as well as Marcus Leto (Yes, THE Marcus Leto) for sharing these concepts.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed these surprise concept pieces.
