Its legs were a distinctly different shape (straight, with an "L"-shaped joint to the body). It should be noted, however, that the story in which it appears, ''Second Sunrise Over [[New Mombasa]]'', uses a very large amount of artistic license. The story is canonical (it was authorized by Bungie), but the visuals of the story clearly are not. | Its legs were a distinctly different shape (straight, with an "L"-shaped joint to the body).

The Scarab was first seen in ''[[Halo 2]]'' level "Outskirts", where it appeared as a large, four-legged, silver-armored behemoth with an estimated height of ninety feet. It featured an upper deck that was guarded by numerous [[Elites]], [[Jackals]], and [[Grunts]], along with a walkway going over the entrance to its control room. (It should be noted that the Outskirts Scarabs had no infantry on them, as those scarabs could not be boarded.) | The Scarab was first seen in ''[[Halo 2]]'' level "Outskirts", where it appeared as a large, four-legged, silver-armored behemoth with an estimated height of ninety feet.

Scarabs' shells were invulnerable to damage from 90mm shells, missiles, .50 cal. rounds, and ANVIL HE missiles (the armor could be similar to the ship plating the Covenant use on their warships, and Hunter's shields). They proved vulnerable to boarding actions and destruction from inside. [[Bungie]] has joked that the ''Halo 2''-era Scarab looks more like a basket than an actual assault platform. These scarabs also lacked the top plasma turret found on ''Halo 3''-era scarabs. | Scarabs' shells were invulnerable to damage from 90mm shells, missiles, .50 cal. rounds, and ANVIL HE missiles (the armor could be similar to the ship plating the Covenant use on their warships, and Hunter's shields).
