Severe aggression is rare, outside rutting males or females with young. Even so, it is an extremely dangerous animal.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=enemies&cid=28449 B.net classification]</ref> The Gúta is likely carnivorous due to its large fangs and claws and powerful musculature and agility. It is remarkably durable, requiring three to four shotgun blasts and an equal number of melee attacks to kill it on [[Normal]] difficulty. The species was likely rendered extinct due to the glassing of Reach, although it is possible that there were specimens on other planets at the time. | ||
