The '''''Sumda'te''-pattern Sky Stalker'''{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} {{Type|36|Ultra-Heavy Siege Platform|UHSP}}, or colloquially the '''Scarab''', is a [[Covenant]] quadrupedal mining platform, occasionally used as a heavy weapon platform. Type-36 Scarabs are fitted with a massive Class-4 plasma cannon. These weapons are analogous to those fitted on the {{Pattern|Skar'wa|Mantis}}, though they are likely a field modification.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
{{Quote|Its field of fire prevents any chance of retreat or extraction.|[[Serina]]<ref name="Scarab">'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Scarab (level)|Scarab]]''</ref>}}
The '''Type-36 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform''',<ref name="H4EVG">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 130''</ref> colloquially known as the '''Super Scarab''', is a [[Covenant]] quadrupedal artillery assault platform and essentially a larger and more powerful model of the standard [[Type-47 Scarab]].


Type-36 Scarabs use a variety of different chassis designs, which rarely alters the performance characteristics of each individual vehicle. The Type-36 Scarab uses [[Lekgolo]] colonies bound together with its control systems.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
==Operational history==
During the [[Battle of Arcadia]] in [[2531]], a Type-36 Scarab was used by the Covenant to guard their [[Forerunner]] [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|excavation site]] on [[Arcadia]]. Stationed at the entrance to the main complex, the Covenant attempted to use technology from the Forerunner relic to upgrade the Scarab on-site.<ref>'''Halo Waypoint''', ''Battle for Arcadia''</ref> Despite being stationary, the Super Scarab caused significant difficulty to the UNSC ground forces attempting to breach the Covenant defenses; the humans were forced to approach the site head-on, enabling the Scarab to fire on them with its main [[focus cannon]]. Powered by a series of [[generator]]s scattered about the area, the Scarab's head swept the area in a consistent scanning motion, firing on any UNSC forces caught in its line of fire and not hesitating to destroy lesser Forerunner ruins the humans used as cover, including a cluster of structures sheltering the UNSC's local [[Firebase]]. However, the humans were able to take advantage of the Scarab's systematic scan pattern, destroying the power nodes which in turn slowed down the rate at which the Scarab was able to turn its head. After taking down the power nodes, the UNSC forces attacked and destroyed the Scarab.<ref name="Scarab"/>


==Production note==
==Trivia==
*According to [[Catalog/Archive|Catalog]], the Scarab that appears in ''[[Halo 2]]'' is designated Type-36.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/catalog-interaction/4c3e1c6f-6519-4ee0-83a4-4bac13bf07a3/posts?page=51|Site=Halo Waypoint Forums|Page=Catalog Interaction|D=13|M=04|Y=2016|LocalArchive=Catalog/Archive/2014#Post_.2313}} This contradicts ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' as well as ''[[Palace Hotel]]'', both of which identify the ''Halo 2'' Scarab as a Type-47. It was later clarified that the Scarab in ''Halo 2'' is the {{Pattern|Protos|Scarab}}.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
*Acording to ''Catalog'', this is the Scarab that appears in ''Halo 2'', not the Type-47 Scarab seen on ''Halo 3''<ref> [https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm3015253_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post3015253 Halo Waypoint: Catalog Interaction - Page 51]</ref>
*Some ''[[Halo 3]]'' concept art featured in ''[[The Art of Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds]]'' match the T-36 Scarab's description.{{Ref/Book|AoH3|Page=51}}{{Ref/Book|Id=AOBW77|AoBW|Page=77}} This art was later canonised for the official look of the Scarab in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
