Methane Tank

Methane Tanks are cylindrical, pyramidical, and in Halo: Combat Evolved, cones that curl-at-the-ended structures used by Covenant Unggoy (Grunts). They are moderately large and resemble small fuel tanks of modern trucks.

When the are really huge, they provide a place for the creatures to breathe their methane atmosphere outside of their suits. Thus, Grunts remove their suits when entering the huge methane filled tank, as they are not needed.

There is a main chamber for the Grunts to reside in and a smaller chamber in front where the Grunts can change into and out of their suits. These structures often have posted guards to prevent the creatures inside from being caught off guard.

When shot, the tanks may explode due to methane's high flammability.
