{{era|UNSC}}

'''Scrub Grubs''' are a small species that inhabit at least one [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Balaho|world]]. They tend to board space ships and feed on the machinery, and are often found on Covenant ships as pests.

Scrub Grubs are a type of arthropod, like the [[Yanme'e]], though far smaller and non-sentient.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 227''</ref> They are anxious creatures with hairs that cover their turgid bodies. These hairs are always in motion, sensing for danger. On long space flights, their numbers have to be contained in order to prevent them from damaging any vital systems. When they are smashed they turn into a mealy liquid. The [[Unggoy]] often [[Hunting Rock|hunt]] these creatures for sporting games during space travel.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''pages 89-90''</ref>

They are likely to be the equivalent of [[List of Animals|rats]] found on the [[Human]] homeworld [[Earth]].

*The [[Covenant Pests]] that can be seen on the level [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'' may be Scrub Grubs.
