The Phfor?

Given that in the shot entitled "Dark Patrol" we have Cabal and Fallen troops with an eerie green glow, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it shouldn't be ruled out that we may be seeing the reanimated corpses of unannounced races.

Yeah, that's pretty consistent with Bungie's usual approach, as well as with the name "Fallen". That might not be any particular race, but rather a faction composed of decomposing members of other factions. Something like a fusion of Flood and Thrall.

(Note to self: Start a band called "Flood, Sweat and Thrall")

That being said, the Cabal have a very Drinol-esque aesthetic about them. Enough rings of Marathon about all of this. It would be fun if Marathon and Destiny canon intersected in a way that resulted in actual gameplay moments against them.

Yeah, overall sloping shoulder shape is a bit more Drinol than Hunter, despite the obvious similarities to both. As usual, some parts bin innovation going on-- taking familiar bits and recombining them in new ways.
