Unggoy Minor

Template:Covenant Rank Infobox The Unggoy Minor is the lowest Unggoy rank in the Covenant military. They are the rough equivalent of the UNSC Private.

Description

Minors are the lowest rank in the Covenant military ranking system for the Unggoy, essentially being little more than cannon fodder. Bearing orange methane breathers and light-armored harness, the Sangheili and Jiralhanae often send them into battle with little or no remorse. Minors exhibit various combat behaviors when their commander is killed; the most common combat behavior being to simply retreat and seek cover, or arming themselves with plasma grenades and attempting to perform a suicide attack by charging towards the enemy.

The Covenant remnant equivalent is the Unggoy Storm rank. They are given a different combat harness, although the combat harness is given similar colors to denote their rank.

Gameplay

They are one of the most common enemies, rivaled only by the Flood infection forms. However, on higher difficulties, such as Heroic and Legendary, they became somewhat uncommon, mostly replaced with Unggoy Majors and Ultras.

Trivia

• Unggoy Minors are the most common unit encountered by the player in every Halo game in any difficulty.
• Minor Grunts usually do not throw Plasma Grenades, but when they do, they sometimes throw them at point-blank range and accidentally kill themselves instead of the player. This is true and becomes much more dangerous when the Catch skull is activated.
