''[[Halo Wars]]'' features the ''Deutoros''-pattern Scarab as a playable unit in [[Skirmish]] and multiplayer modes for Covenant leaders, though it is smaller for the sake of gameplay. Each Scarab costs {{HWResources|3,000}} [[resources]] and {{HWPop|20}} population in Skirmish, with no upgrades available due to their cost and is built at the [[Covenant citadel]]. Up to two can be spawned at a time in a [[Standard]] mode and four in [[Deathmatch (Halo Wars)|Deathmatch]] mode. | ''[[Halo Wars]]'' features the ''Deutoros''-pattern Scarab as a playable unit in [[Skirmish]] and multiplayer modes for Covenant leaders, though it is smaller for the sake of gameplay.

''Halo Wars''{{'}} [[Halo Wars Title Updates|Title Update #4]] enhanced the Scarab by providing an additional 25% hitpoints and a 25% damage increase, and is now capable of surviving four direct MAC blasts as a result of the improved hitpoints. | ||
The Scarabs excel at attacking vehicles and infantry with their powerful weapons, though aircraft take longer for the Scarab to take down. Scarabs are very mobile, being able to climb over most obstacles. Only certain obstructions, like craters or fire, can block them. In the campaign level Beachhead, the player may use a [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] to commandeer an abandoned Scarab. Commandeering this Scarab and using it to destroy twenty-five enemy units unlocks the achievement [[Beaming With Pride]]. | The Scarabs excel at attacking vehicles and infantry with their powerful weapons, though aircraft take longer for the Scarab to take down.
