Ukala Workshop Mauler

Mauler The Mauler is a Covenant ground vehicle.

Introduction
To debut as a brand new vehicle in Halo 3, the Mauler is an enigmatic Covenant ground vehicle. No information has been leaked about this mysterious vehicle, and thus it is heavily speculated upon.

The Mauler was first revealed in one of Bungie's weekly updates, which was used primarily to elaborate on the Spartan Laser. To quote:


 * "My spotter positively identified the local bravo kilo sub-chieftain. I engaged the target at [censored] meters. The shot burned an approximately [censored] diameter hole through the target and severely damaged the mauler he had just dismounted."

The use of the words "bravo kilo sub-chieftain" proves that the aforementioned mauler was manned by a Brute during the encounter. Due to this, it is believed that it is a Covenant vehicle, though this is unconfirmed.

Speculation
Some people speculate it to be another name for the Brute Ghost,while others believe it to be the name of the modified Wraith from the December Super Bowl ESPN advertisement, and still others the name of a possible new dropship. However, the dropship idea is highly unlikely because there would not be a single unit dismounting from a multi-troop carrying unit such as a dropship. There have also been no instances where there has been a single unit on a dropship in any Halo: CE or Halo 2 level. Although this is pure speculation.
