They are seen in combat as decorated in lucid red-colored armor (similar to their [[Sangheili Major|Sangheili counterparts]]), contrary to the orange armor of Unggoy Minors. They are more courageous as well, often staying to fight under conditions that would make their lesser brethren flee. If all of their commanders, [[Sangheili]] or [[Jiralhanae]], are killed, they will sometimes continue to fight. However, they still aren't very courageous and can more often be observed fleeing along with Unggoy Minors, though they are more likely to go kamikaze than the Minors. They usually fight alongside a combined team of other Unggoy and Kig-Yar, and have command over the former.

They usually fight alongside a combined team of other Unggoy and Kig-Yar, and have command over the former. Unggoy Majors are the first enemy to wield the hand-held [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|fuel rod gun]] in the Halo series. They were first seen utilizing these deadly weapons after the player had destroyed the first [[Pulse Generator]] in the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' level, [[Two Betrayals]]. They also know to use [[equipment]] on occasion.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]''</ref> | ||
After the [[Human-Covenant War]], this rank continued to be used in [[Merg Vol's Covenant]]. Despite donning a white combat harness similar to that of [[Unggoy Ultra]]s, as opposed to the traditional red harness, they were used for the same purposes.

Unggoy Majors are only ''slightly'' stronger than their lesser brothers, and are easily taken down with a headshot. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', Majors could be taken out with a single headshot or a couple of body shots.

Sometimes Unggoy Minors will still fight even if the Sangheili or Jiralhanae leading them is dead, if an Unggoy Major is nearby, though this is very uncommon. The Majors will sometimes be seen leading a small pack of Unggoy Minors by themselves, but this is rare as well. The presence of Unggoy Majors seems to improve the Minors' accuracy slightly in ''Halo 3'' (possibly because of the stern and almost fierce new influence the Jiralhanae have over the Unggoy).
