Deutoros-pattern Scarab: Difference between revisions

The [[Scarab]] is basically a towering [[Covenant]] walker. Upheld on four long mechanical legs - it is different from the [[Covenant|Covenant's]] other ground-based vehicles, such as the [[Wraith]], [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghost]] or [[Spectre]] which are propelled by gravity boosters. It makes use of four large, mechanical legs for mobility, instead of a Boosted Gravity Propulsion System utilized by most other Covenant vehicles. This is an advantage that allows it to climb over obstacles that may have impeded other Covenant vehicles. It is the largest known Covenant ground-based vehicle, as well as the most resistant to damage. Its innards, though, are extremely vulnerable and easily destroyed, making it very prone to boarding actions, as demonstrated in the [[Battle of New Mombasa]] and the [[Second Battle of Earth]].<ref>''[[Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer]]''</ref> The Scarab holds squads of Grunts and Jackals, as well as a few Brutes to protect it from it being boarded, if anything manages to even get close enough. They have been used in many battles against the UNSC, such as on Reach before it was glassed and on Earth where the Spartans encountered a few in different locations on Earth.[[Image:1210318610 1185489032.jpg|200px|thumb|A Halo 3 [[Scarab]] figure model.]]
