They are the lowest rank in the hierarchy, and are frequently mistreated by almost every higher-ranking race ([[Sangheili]], [[Jiralhanae]], [[Kig-yar]]), to the point where killing Unggoy is not even considered a crime in the Covenant. Unggoy are primarily used as laborers or, in combat situations, cannon fodder. They are one of the later races to be introduced into the Covenant. They were the third Covenant species to be encountered by [[human]]s. They are referred to as '''Grunts''' by humans, mainly because they are considered weak compared to their superiors and also because they perform the majority of the labor required by the Covenant. | ||
