An '''Excavator''' is a class of walker constructs established by the [[Covenant]] and later used by its [[Covenant remnant|remnants]]. As their name implies, vehicles of this class were used as excavators and mining platforms. Excavators were also used by the Covenant as heavy weapon platforms, mobile bases, and combat engineering vehicles.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/scarab '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Scarab'']</ref> | An '''Excavator''' is a class of walker constructs established by the [[Covenant]] and later used by its [[Covenant remnant|remnants]].
