Unggoy share a number of features with different animal species on [[Earth]]. Like primates, they walk both bipedally and with the aid of their over sized forearms. However, their bodies are armored with a hard exoskeleton as with crabs and insects. Their mouths have a set of small, pointed teeth, much like reptiles. However, the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] classed them taxonomically as being most similar to Earth arthropods. | Unggoy share a number of features with different animal species on [[Earth]].

Unggoy are typically poor warriors, being quite cowardly, physically weak and tactically inept. When witnessing their commanders eliminated during a battle, they often go into a panic and scatter in random directions. However, what they lack in ability they make up for with sheer numbers, as they breed relatively quickly and, if they are focused, are actually quite accurate with their weapon. In some cases, squads of Unggoy have been known to overpower careless [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]]. The conflict on [[Harvest]], and thus the Human-Covenant War, was in part started by an Unggoy named [[Yull]] tearing apart [[Osmo|Private Osmo]]. [[Special Operations Grunts]], which are known to wear black colored armor, are far more tenacious than the lower tiered ones, and have even been known to carry [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|fuel rod guns]], which makes them extremely dangerous foes. | Unggoy are typically poor warriors, being quite cowardly, physically weak and tactically inept,they stay in packs rather thanindividuals most of the time.

Unggoy are the only Covenant species to breathe [[methane]] rather than [[oxygen]]. Their combat armor/harness has an integrated methane re-breather system, as Unggoy are unable to survive for long periods of time without methane due to asphyxiation much like humans without oxygen. Due to this, if the player manages to [[Melee|melee]] their methane tank off, they will survive for a short time, but then die. | Unggoy are the only Covenant species to breathe [[methane]] rather than [[oxygen]].
