===Roles===
*'''Unggoy Imperial Scouts''': These Unggoy are known to augment standard patrols.<ref name="VIS"/>


The Imperials seem to have a similar role to the [[Unggoy Ultra]] that served in the original Covenant, also wearing a similar helmet. They have been seen in orange, red, green, silver, and blue combat harnesses.
==Equipment==
===Harness===
The helmet is a heavy armor face plate which protects the whole face. The harness is more resilient than the [[Unggoy Storm]] version. The methane tank resembles a Balahoan octopoda.<ref name="VIS"/> They have been seen in orange, red, green, silver, and blue combat harnesses.<ref name="H4">'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref>
===Weapons===
Storm Unggoy are armed with [[plasma pistol]]s and [[Needler]]s, and will occasionally use an overcharged plasma pistol shot against shielded enemies. Like Minors, Storm Unggoy will very commonly flee from battle when the Sangheili leading them is killed. Storm Unggoy will sometimes prime two [[plasma grenade]]s and charge their enemies in a kamikaze attack.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Unggoy Imperials have slightly more health than lower ranking Unggoy. They also panic less and make fewer mistakes in combat. However, they are still easy to defeat individually. A single shot to the head or melee attack is usually enough to kill one. The combat harness also allows for the Grunt to use the methane tank as a makeshift thruster pack, allowing for easy access in various terrains.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>
During the [[Battle of Requiem]] and the [[Requiem Campaign]], Unggoy Imperials of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant commonly fielded [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s and [[Type-33 Needler]]s.<ref name="H4"/> During the Covenant's final days in [[2558#October|October 2558]], Unggoy Storm began to make heavy use of the [[Type-54D plasma pistol]] and [[Type-56D Needler]].<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>
