Unggoy: Difference between revisions

Unggoy are average of about 5 1/2 feet tall and are relatively weak compared to other Covenant species. Although they can easily walk upright on two legs, they may often use their arms to move in a quadrupedal fashion. While carrying armaments, they are forced to walk upright so that they may support their weapons with their hands, but while trying to flee, or while patrolling without a weapon drawn, they use their over sized arms as forelegs to add speed or stability to their gait. Their eyesight and hearing is average, and seem to have a very well developed sense of smell, sometimes sniffing the air to detect traces of foes or hidden enemies.<ref>'''Halo 2''', level ''{{Levelname|The Arbiter}}''</ref> This is facilitated through the olfactory membranes installed in their masks.

The Unggoy are also considered to be somewhat humorous for their small stature, squeaky voices, and slightly cute personality. For instance, during the level {{Levelname|The Arbiter}}, an Unggoy can be heard saying, "Where'd my gun go? Oh, here it is! Hahaha."

| The Unggoy race considers these Unggoy as field commanders, and wear distinctive white-lilac armor (reminiscent of the [[Sangheili Ultra]]s). While they appear to have some authority over lesser-ranked Unggoy, they have no control whatsoever over the other Covenant races. They are stronger opponents than their subordinates, and are more accurate with firearms, throw [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|plasma grenades]] often, and wear heavier armor, making them able to sustain more damage than most other Unggoy. To prove this, activate the [[Halo 2 Skulls|Thunderstorm skull]] on the level {{Levelname|Uprising}}, and the Unggoy will usually survive throughout the entire level. Astonishingly, they may even withstand shotgun blasts. They rarely flee, and will most likely fight until the end. They are rarely seen on Easy and Normal difficulties (without the Thunderstorm Skull activated). [[Bungie studios|Bungie]] apparently refers to them as ''Halo 3'' Spec-Ops Unggoy whose color theme changed because of the Jiralhanae.

|Being similar to the rank of UNSC [[Corporal]], these specialized Unggoy wear green colored armor and are often deployed for defensive actions <ref>'''Halo 2''', level ''{{Levelname|Gravemind}}''</ref>. Their primary purposes are to deploy plasma cannons and man them, although they are occasionally seen wielding fuel rod guns. They can be seen wielding a brute spiker on {{Levelname|The Ark}}.  Two or three are seen wielding plasma rifles during the attack on Sword Base on Reach.
