| In gameplay, when [[Covenant]] warriors encounters the Demon (Master Chief), they usually engage him with extreme caution. [[Grunts]] and [[Jackals]] have a tendency to retreat upon the Demon killing their Elite commander, or if they are the only soldier remaining. The [[Prophets]] and [[Brutes]] also refer to the Master Chief as the Demon ([[Gravemind (Level)]]|[[Uprising (Level)]]). The [[Prophet of Truth]] is the only member of the Covenant that has referred to John-117 as the [[Master Chief]] (''"This demon... this Master Chief"'').

| If any Covenant soldier actually kills a Demon, it may be assumed they are given a very high reward for their success against this potent soldier. This can be noted in gameplay during ''[[Halo 2]]''; when the Master Chief dies, the nearby Elites say something along the lines of "The Demon is dead, I killed it!", "The Prophets shall reward me well for that!", or more rarely, "Ha! And I'm not even [[The Arbiter]]!"
