\"canonfodder-11-6-15-336862f1d04946db9244f7ac3da880b8\"<\/a>Welcome back to another edition of Canon Fodder.\u00a0Last week we took a look back at the epic excitement\u00a0that surrounded the launch of\u00a0Halo 5: Guardians<\/em>, and highlighted story-specific points of interest for those looking to catch up on the release-week festivities. This week we\u2019ll be taking a look at some of the fabulous fauna found throughout the scattered locales of the\u00a0Halo 5: Guardians\u00a0<\/em>campaign, and adding some more new background info to the Universe section. As we mentioned last week that the installments immediately following the launch would be still a bit tight-lipped regarding campaign-specific story, and this week will certainly fall within that trend.\u00a0Next<\/em>\u00a0week however, that might be a different story\u2026<\/p>\n

ANIMAL HOUSE<\/h2>\n

One thing we\u2019ve noticed fans pick up on while romping through the\u00a0Halo 5: Guardians<\/em>\u00a0campaign is the new collection of ambient flora and fauna populating some of the never-before-visited locales. We thought it would be fun to gather up some of the most prominent and interesting campaign critters and give you a bit more info on them. We have no doubt that a couple of them might spur the next iteration of lifeform-love, similar to the\u00a0moa madness<\/a>\u00a0that swept the\u00a0Halo: Reach\u00a0<\/em>nation a few years back. Read on to see if you\u2019ve got a new favorite!<\/p>\n

\"cfskyray-e7b421cf419b46bf8201852732d5c0e3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

LUMENON<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not uncommon on Builder-created refuges because of the rate\u2019s appreciation of them, sky-rays like the\u00a0lumenon<\/em>\u00a0were brought here from Rhotero, a Forerunner world claimed by the Flood. Although the breeding on Genesis has gone unchecked for millennia, these creatures will generally keep their distance, preferring to hunt the on the surface of its vast oceans.<\/p>\n

LOGRODITES<\/strong><\/p>\n

The skittering crab-like\u00a0logrodites<\/em>\u00a0are transplants from a moisture-dense asteroid cluster on the edge of ecumene. Extremophilic by their nature, these ingenious creatures scavenge the surface of Genesis for harmful bacteria and are used to maintain the planet\u2019s delicate ecological balance.<\/p>\n

\"cfsangbird-f862f199351a4d76b6eeb24935694ff0\"<\/a><\/p>\n

KRYN\u2019QODON<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0kryn\u2019qodon<\/em>, a semi-avian glider which occupies the clefts and ridges in the more desolate upper-reaches of this territory of Sanghelios, spends most of its time scavenging carrion and snatching fist-sized dust mites from crevices in the stone fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n

\"cfbeetle-6fbc45d3b42a43b0b59f1aa45eed3822\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ORZIL<\/strong><\/p>\n

Native to the western shores of Qivro, particularly the Nuusra territory near Sunaion, the\u00a0orzil<\/em>\u00a0beetle is part of a vibrant phylum of terrestrial insects that primarily survive in mountainous coastal locations.<\/p>\n

\"cfdeepeel-a81142a66ee44b8db396e4d315b8b8f2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

QOTHAL<\/strong><\/p>\n

More at home in the darkness of the deep ocean, the so-called \u201cnightmare eel\u201d is rarely seen in shallow waters after the first year of their life.\u00a0Qothal<\/em>\u00a0typically spend most of their time hunting a three-meter species of crustacean that reside in the labyrinthine caverns that cover much of the floor of Beta Gabriel\u2019s oceans.<\/p>\n

\"cfspacewhale-98c9574ae3af4645b82e65c1848c5e94\"<\/a><\/p>\n

PAELOSUR<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0paelosur<\/em>\u00a0is an enigmatic sightless cetacean that uses an incredibly evolved sense of echolocation to find the massive colony-swarms of krill-like organisms that make up the bulk of its diet. Air-breathers,\u00a0paelosur<\/em>\u00a0inhale and exhale through thousands of pores scattered across the surface of their bodies. Interestingly, these aquatic giants appear to have been seeded on multiple worlds following the firing of the Array.<\/p>\n

That will do it for this week. Short and sweet for sure, but next installment will be quite a different story. When next we meet, we\u2019ll be celebrating this feature\u2019s 50th<\/sup>\u00a0issue, and plan on having more than a few tantalizing tidbits and wise words scattered about the article, as well as some cool giveaways to boot. You\u2019ll want to plan on stopping by our passion-laden pages next issue for sure.Until next week\u2026 Live well, play Halo, and always don BUCCANEER armor to raid a Kig-Yar pirate ship.<\/p>\n
