The planet is orbited by two [[natural satellite]]s: [[Buwan]] and [[Padpad]]. A cold planet, temperatures on Balaho range from -33°C to 5°C (-27°F to 41°F).<ref name="Bestiarum"/> The cold season of their planet makes them highly covet any source of warmth and light they can find, mainly due to the "[[Blue Death|blue death]]".<ref name="goo237"/> The planet is still in process of recovery from a global ecological collapse before the activation of the Halo Array due to over-industrialization caused by the Unggoy at the time.<ref name="Bestiarum"/> | ||
Since their natural environment has a methane atmosphere, Unggoy require [[methane tank]]s and breathing apparatus with them whenever they travel into areas without high levels of methane in the air. Since all the other races of the [[Covenant]] (as well as [[human]]ity) breathe [[oxygen]], the Unggoy find themselves wearing breathing masks more often than not.<ref name="Flood">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page ???''</ref> They sometimes inhabit large [[Atmosphere pit|environment domes]] that have airlocks and methane filters for them to breathe while not in armor,<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 60''</ref> while those in military service often restock their methane reserves at [[methane recharge station|battlefield recharge station]]s.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 303''</ref> Unggoy have high-pitched and squeaky voices, possibly due to the different resonating properties of methane gas. | Since their natural environment has a methane atmosphere, Unggoy require [[methane tank]]s and breathing apparatus with them whenever they travel into areas without high levels of methane in the air.
