Crawlers are small, quadrupedal machines capable of both ranged and close-quarters combat, using a built-in [[Z-110 Directed Energy Pistol|Boltshot]]<ref name="gi"/> as their primary weapon; this weapon disintegrates targets to prevent their biomass from being co-opted by the Flood.<ref name="gameplay"/> Unlike the majority of Forerunner automatons, they lack [[anti-gravity technology|anti-gravity capabilities]] of any kind and instead rely on their four legs for locomotion.

Crawlers are often directed by [[Promethean Knight]]s, who regard them as cannon fodder. They are protected by [[Promethean Watcher|Watcher]] [[Sentinel]]s, which can offer them cover in the form of small [[Z-90 Photonic Coalescence Emitter/Aegis|hardlight shields]] or create new Crawlers from raw materials in the ground. In addition to the basic type of Crawler, a more heavily armed unit and a long-range unit are also employed.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/06/20/The-Halo-Bulletin-62012.aspx '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''The Halo Bulletin: 6.20.12'']</ref> | Crawlers are often directed by [[Promethean Knight]]s, who regard them as cannon fodder.
