Crawlers appear as one of three types: the standard one, the [[Alpha Crawler]], and the long-range [[Crawler Snipe]]. The standard one is armed with a Boltshot, which it always fires in two-round bursts. The upgraded Alpha Crawler leads lesser Crawlers and fires bursts of [[Z-130 Suppressor|Suppressor]] rounds at its enemies. Finally, the long-range Crawler Snipe is armed with the deadly [[Z-750 binary rifle|Binary Rifle]], which can instantly kill players on [[Legendary]] difficulty, regardless of where it hits.

Crawlers are capable of scaling walls, ceilings, and other steep surfaces and leaping great heights to get a tactical advantage against their enemies. This behavior is commonly observed in all campaign and ''[[Spartan Ops]]'' levels that feature Crawlers, although it is most prominently featured in the campaign mission ''[[Forerunner (level)|Forerunner]]'' as part of introducting Crawlers to the player. [[Promethean Watcher|Watchers]] can also summon new Crawlers from raw materials on the ground.

At close range, Crawlers can pounce onto a player. The damage done to the player is usually small to medium, but can be increased further to the point of draining the player's shields if the player moves towards the Crawler while it pounces at them. However, Crawlers also tend to be cowardly, sometimes running away from the player. This leaves them open to being [[assassination|assassinated]].
