Unidentified Scarab encounters[edit]Fall of Reach[edit]During the Fall of Reach after discovering the Forerunner ruins under Menachite Mountain on Reach, the Covenant attempted to use several Scarabs to dig deep into the mountain's caverns. However, the walkers were destroyed by Type-26 Wraiths manned by Spartan-IIs.[4] Battle of Havana and the Onyx Conflict[edit]During the Battle of Havana on Earth, Spartan-II Blue Team destroyed a Scarab.[5] Another Scarab that had an onboard reactor was deployed during the Onyx Conflict by the Joyous Exultation Covenant.[6] Post-War[edit]In September 2558, a Jiralhanae chieftain named Hekabe had access to Scarabs during his attack on Carrow.[7] Trivia[edit]Like all known Excavators, the Scarab is named after an insect rather than a supernatural entity like most Covenant vehicles. However, scarabs do have significant supernatural relevance in Egyptian mythology. List of appearances[edit]Sources[edit]
