==Background==

===Role===

Unggoy Majors are higher in rank than [[Grunt Minor|Minors]] and are slightly more powerful than their lesser counterparts in terms of strength, intelligence, leadership, and morale. They often lead Minors in battle, and sometimes entire [[Lance]]s ~~(a type of battle formation)~~ when no higher caste species are present. However, even these higher-ranked Unggoy hold no power over any other forces in [[Covenant]] society except [[Jackal Minor]]s.

===Appearances===

Major Grunts mostly appear leading a squad of Minor Grunts under the leadership of any [[Elite]], even an [[Elite Minor]]. They usually appear whenever Minor Grunts do. They are found in almost all the levels in the [[Halo]] trilogy where you can find Covenant. In Halo 3, not much changes for Grunt Majors, as they are still lead by the lowest ranks of the highest Covenant society, which at this time are Brutes. They are usually led by [[Brute Minors]] to [[Brute Captain Ultra]]s. They fight alongside Drones, Jackals and even Hunters occasionally.

===Description===

They are seen in combat as decorated in lucid red-colored armor (similar to their [[Elite Major|Elite counterparts]]), contrary to the orange armor of Minor Grunts and are more courageous as well, often staying to fight under conditions that would make their lesser brethren flee. If all their commanders, [[Sangheili]] or [[Jiralhanae]], are killed, they will ''sometimes'' stand, resist, and fight. However, they ''still'' aren't very courageous and can often be observed fleeing along with [[Minor Grunts]], but are more unlikely to go kamikaze than the Minors. They usually fight alongside a combined team of other Unggoy and [[Kig-yar]], and have command over lower ranked [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Unggoy]]. Grunt Majors are the first enemy to wield the hand-held [[Fuel Rod Gun]] in the Halo series. They attacked the player with these deadly weapons after the player had destroyed the first [[Pulse Generator]] in the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' level, [[Two Betrayals]]. They are also know to wear human equipment on occasion<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]''</ref>.

== Combat ==

Major Grunts are only ''slightly'' stronger than their lesser cousins, and are easily taken down with a headshot. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', Major Grunts could be taken out with a single headshot or a couple of body shots. In ''[[Halo 3]]'', they are stronger and may require two body shots on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]].

Sometimes Minor Grunts will still fight even if the Brute or Elite leading them is dead, if a Major Grunt is around, though this is uncommon. The Major Grunts will sometimes be seen leading a small pack of Minor Grunts by themselves but this is rare. Grunt Majors seem to improve their accuracy slightly in ''Halo 3''. This might be because of the stern and almost fierce influence the Brutes have over the Grunts. Major Grunts also throw [[Plasma Grenades]] more often than Minors.
