In the dark, far reaching corners of the Covenant exist species that we've never seen - species that very few know about. This group are known as the Covenant Fringe, and today we're covering the mystery of the secret species that dwell within this covenant fringe, including some new species!

    A Sharquoi, Slugman and Staff-Wielding-Fish-Guy walk into a bar...
  • @djzapper128
    I believe the slugmen are actually the sub species of lekgolo called Khantolekgolo. Both of their lore is based around lost records after the fall of high charity and I think it’d be cool if 343 intertwined both of them together lol
  • The one thing that really annoys me is; if that element harvested from the fragment of Installation-04 was so deadly to humans only...how did even a number of those present in Ground Zero survive? Locke himself was barely 10 feet away from it, yet he wasn't even affected as far as I remember. It's one of the many, many, MANY gripes I have with that movie. It had a lot of promise, but it slipped through so many cracks there was barely any surface.
  • @alexw2794
    If we're going back over lore, could you do a video covering the kilo 5 trilogy? I think it's one of the greatest stories in Halo and is super underappreciated.
  • @JaelaOrdo
    Perfect video to watch while I’m waiting at the doctors, Halo lore always helps to pass time
  • Hi Xperia Dude. Through the 'dark times' of 343, there are very few content creators who soldiered on with our childhood dream game, but you did it. And for all your hard work and dedication I deeply thank you in admiration, you got real main character energy like Arby 'n the Chief do xD Would love to see you in some games of Halo one day Peace
  • @GrogTheFrog
    I could definitely see a Covenant Master controlling a Sharquoi being a boss fight in a future game/dlc. A Covenant (rebranded) Banished Master challenges the Chief with the Sharquoi, after killing it you fight the Master. Then once you kill him it’s revealed that there was one or two more Sharquoi that are now out of control and you now have Banished Forces helping Chief and UNSC take them down. Only to immediately ho back to killing each other
  • @emilkaapola7191
    9:16 Another theory as for reason for the Slugmen being chosen for artifact retrieval missions could be because they maybe have a trait similar to that of the Thanolekgolo from Halo Nightfall which can "sense technology", perhaps making them useful in navigating large Forerunner constructs and networks?
  • @NovoCognition
    It indeed would be neat to see many of these species in new or expanded games, animations, and novels. Both for gameplay combat and for the astropolitical lore.
  • @Installation07
    Can you please do a deep dive into multiplayer armor and it’s canon lore; more particularly the more goofy looking armours. I like the slugmen the best for sure though.
  • @captmaze4400
    I absolutely love the design for the alien trooper, it's elongated body and stance gives off a very 'alien' vibe which is fitting. It screams late 90's/2000's design to me 😁
  • @tazbod7233
    A game where you play as a Covenant Master that is the lead of a group of Sharquoi and your sole purpose is to eradicate either humans and or heretics would be awesome. Bit different to just a run and shootem up but has the slight RTS feeling with it too controlling all the different Sharquoi and or the Lekgolo walker tanks.
  • @themaverick0919
    Sometimes I like to go back and watch old lore videos because I forget a bunch of stuff but this works just as well. Good stuff keep it up 👍👍
  • @taytoflame2314
    I completely forgot about Halo Nightfall existing lol, Halo in live action has really not done well... Love this video, I want slug men in a game. 😊
  • @Agent-4.20
    Loved the video as usual, great to hear more about the fringe again, definitely least favorite are the yonhet, favorite might be the aquatic lads tbh, them or the covenant masters, they both sound dope, can't wait to see more remastered videos from you soon!
  • Although Halo and Marathon were possibly designed to be set in the same Universe, this definitely isn’t the case anymore, both in Lore and Legal senses.
  • @ThaliaGecko
    The original fringe video was one of my favorites I am incredibly glad you remade it :)
  • @jahnyguitah7999
    Seeing some fresh covenant units in the game would be so cool!
  • It’s always a good day when Hiddenxperia uploads. I’ve been waiting for a video about this for a long time
  • Loved this video! Never heard of the Dazreem! Love their shark/sanghelli vibe! I am a little surprised the ‘Breakers’ didn’t get a little mention here, unless they didn’t count. I can get why ya left em out tho given they are technically Banished. If im not wrong they were originally gonna replace the hunters in infinite.
