Unggoy Minor

Grunt Minor is a Covenant Grunt rank.

Rank
Minors are the lowest rank in the Grunt ranks, essentially the cannon fodder of cannon fodder. Bearing light-orange methane rebreathers, Elites often send them into battle with little thought.

Combat
Usually found brandishing Plasma Pistols, Needlers, or rarely Fuel Rod Guns, these Grunts are the most cowardly beings in all of the Covenant ranks and are extremely weak. Killing an Elite overseer or a Major Grunt will usually cause all Minor Grunts in the area to lose discipline and flee. Minor Grunts are pathetically easy to kill and are very low priority. It is generally most effective to either melee them from behind or kill them with a headshot using a Pistol or Battle Rifle.

Appearances
Minors are perhaps (with the exception of Flood Infection Forms) the most common enemy in the Halo series. In every save a select few there are Grunt Minors. However, there is almost always either a Major Grunt or an Elite where there is a group of Minors.
