Covenant proximity mine
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
This unidentified Covenant explosive is a Covenant explosive device that was in use in 2552.[1] The grenade has a similar appearance to a Covenant antimatter charge,[2] and may be a miniaturized form of the explosive. The explosive has only been encountered during the Battle of Ariel in early 2552. Due to the operation's archaeological nature, the explosive may be specifically intended for such purpose.
During the Battle of Ariel, Taylor "Dutch" Miles and Kojo "Romeo" Agu threw one of these explosives at a group of Grunts. The Grunts, not realizing the device wasn't armed (Dutch and Romeo didn't know how to arm it without detonating it), panicked and fled into a corridor rigged with laser traps which sliced them to pieces.[1]
