Harvesters are the most massive Covenant land vehicle to date, with only the [[Type-47_Ultra_Heavy_Assault_Platform#V1 model|"Super" Scarab]] being comparable in size. Generally used in long-term invasions, they are not commonly seen by [[UNSC]] personnel. Much like the [[Scarab]], it is composed of a Meta-Colony of [[Lekgolo]] known as [[Sbaolekgolo]];<ref name="VIS">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'''</ref> this is evident from exposed Lekgolo worms seen in its interior. As with most Covenant vehicles, the Harvester has an organic appearance. It is much more beetle-like in appearance than the Scarab due to its overall shape, heavily textured outer "skin" and a hatch at the front of the machine that resembles a mouth and eyes. The interior is composed of multiple massive chambers that resemble dark subterranean caverns, linked together by smaller hallways and illuminated with pale green light.<ref name="Switchback"/> | Harvesters are the most massive Covenant land vehicle to date, with only the [[Type-47_Ultra_Heavy_Assault_Platform#V1 model|"Super" Scarab]] being comparable in size.

A Harvester was once encountered during the [[Requiem campaign]], where it was disabled by [[Fireteam Switchback]], who mysteriously vanished in the firefights afterwards, leaving no bodies or signs of struggle, only their [[Identification friend or foe|IFF tags]]. [[Fireteam Crimson]] was sent in to investigate. Crimson managed to kill the remaining crew of the Harvester and further disabled the walker by destroying several consoles inside.<ref name="Switchback"/> Sometime later, the Covenant re-took the Harvester and captured several doctors to re-activate the walker, but they were not successful because the power supply was destroyed. When Requiem was put on a collision course towards the star it was orbiting, Fireteam Crimson was sent to retake the Harvester and use it to reach one of the artifacts that was preventing the {{UNSCship|Infinity}} from leaving the planet.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[S1/Exodus|Episode 10]], Chapter 1: "[[S1/Exodus/Artifact|Artifact]]"</ref> After stealing the power source from a [[Lich]]<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''Episode 10, Chapter 3: "[[S1/Exodus/Seize the Power|Seize the Power]]"</ref>, Crimson returned to the Harvester and activated the walker. Crimson then used the Harvester's Plasma drill to excavate a tunnel deep enough to reach the artifact and shut it down. The Harvester was destroyed when Requiem was consumed by the star.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''Episode 10, Chapter 5: "[[S1/Exodus/One Last Time|One Last Time]]"</ref> | A Harvester was once encountered during the [[Requiem campaign]], where it was disabled by [[Fireteam Switchback]], who mysteriously vanished in the firefights afterwards, leaving no bodies or signs of struggle, only their [[Identification friend or foe|IFF tags]].
