Stalker (Species)
From Halopedia, the Halo Wiki
The Stalker is a deleted Covenant species seen in the Halo 2 Collector's Edition DVD. Not much is known about this creature, but it is known how they attacked; they would sneak up on their prey and tear it to pieces with their blade hands, similar to the Flood Stalker Form.
It is worth noting that the Stalker looks quite similar to the Zergling of the Zerg race from the StarCraft series. The Stalker also has the same name and looks of the Pure Flood Stalker Form from Halo 3, and probably would have had a similar use in the Covenant if existed. These uses would include sneaking up behind enemies, and being scouts. Perhaps Bungie decided that the Covenant had enough races, and decided to add some more to the Flood. It may have been devastating to the UNSC if the Covenant had such a race.
[edit] Deleted Material
Stalker (Species) is part of the Deleted Material cut from the Halo game.
When developing the Halo games, Bungie and other developers such as Ensemble or Wingnut Interactive had to cut some content from the final games. As such, many aspects of the story, such as vehicles, gameplay, design, and even story elements, didn't make it into the final versions. Many of the elements have been confirmed by such material as videos and commentary on the Halo Limited Edition Special DVD, interviews with developers, and released concept art.
