The link above goes to Bungie's character development video from the Game Developers Conference. Pause the video around the 24 second mark and you'll see what I'm talking about. This enemy doesn't resemble any enemy I've seen.
I think it's either the "Glimmer" or a different class of the Hive.

Definitely a different class of hive. The hive are built to look like zombies, that's pretty zombie like. We already know what cabal look like, they're giant, grotesque hippo/ogre things. Nothing like the creature I'm question.
