The M850 Grizzly is one of the heaviest armored vehicle in service with the UNSC military, and is usually deployed in situations that require devastating firepower and a resilient design in a single, mobile package.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The M850 Grizzly shares a similar design to the [[M808 Scorpion]], also developed by [[Chalybs Defense Solutions]]. For ease of mobility across varied terrain, the Grizzly is fitted with a four-bogey tread configuration, similar to the Scorpion's. The Grizzly, however, has a fifth stationary tread in the back of the chassis, presumably for extra stabilization. Compared to the M808, the M850 MBT is more heavily armored due to its large profile. As with the Scorpion, the driver's access hatch is located in the center of the chassis in front of the turret.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

The M850 Grizzly is protected by exceptionally thick armor plating that allows the tank to sustain large amounts of damage.{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=251}} The tank's resilient armor is capable of tolerating multiple blasts from [[heavy plasma cannon]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} At {{Convert|12.3|m|ft|sp=us}} in length and a mass of over 71 tons, the Grizzly is larger than the Scorpion, although the latter reaches significantly higher speeds than the Grizzly's maximum speed at {{Convert|69|km/h|mph}}.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

In ''Halo Wars 2'', Grizzlies feature missile launchers in place of their canister shell ability. Grizzlies are given to the player to use in [[Last Stand (Halo Wars 2 level)|Last Stand]], and are available in the ''[[Halo Wars 2: Operation: SPEARBREAKER|Operation: SPEARBREAKER]]'' campaign by using Major [[Vaughan]]'s Grizzly Battalion Leader Power. Like their ''Halo Wars'' counterparts, Grizzlies are exclusive to Sergeant Forge in multiplayer, though they now replace [[M808S Scorpion|Scorpions]] outright, and can be built at the [[UNSC Garage]]. Grizzlies are no longer listed as Super Units in ''Halo Wars 2'', the only UNSC Super Unit being the [[G81 Condor]] gunship. In [[Blitz]], they cost {{HW2BlitzEnergy|160}}.

*The Grizzly is uncannily similar in appearance and role to the iconic [[cnc:Mammoth tank|Mammoth tank]] from the [[cnc:|''Command & Conquer'' franchise]]. Both the Grizzly and the Mammoth rest on four independently suspended tracks, possess dual cannons and secondary weapons (particularly missile launchers, as equipped by the ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' version), and are the heaviest tank available to their respective factions.
*Like most UNSC vehicles, the Grizzly vaguely resembles its animal namesake. Both the tank and the [[Wikipedia:Grizzly bear|grizzly bear]] are extremely large and resistant to harm, and both possess powerful attacks; the bear is capable of decapitating a human with a single swipe of its paw, while the M850 MBT can destroy all but the most powerful ground targets with relative impunity.

*The Grizzly was said to be equipped with a [[flamethrower]] early in the development of ''Halo Wars''.{{Ref/Mag|Official Xbox Magazine|Year=2009|Month=January|Issue=42|Page=38-43}} However, as the same interview sensationally described the [[Cyclops]] as a "colossal bipedal mech", the claim may have been erroneous.
