*During the last level of ''Halo 3: ODST'', the Scarab that attempts to destroy Dare's [[M312 Elephant HRV#Halo 3: ODST|Oliphant]] hauls itself out of the surrounding water, showing that Scarabs can function in water, if only briefly. | *During the last level of ''Halo 3: ODST'', the Scarab that attempts to destroy Dare's [[M312 Elephant HRV#Halo 3: ODST|Oliphant]] hauls itself out of the surrounding water, showing that Scarabs can function in water, if only briefly. | ||

*The ''Halo: Reach'' manual states that the Scarab's main armament is an "ultra-heavy focus cannon."

*In the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', the Scarab's design is based on the version from ''Halo 2'', although it has a very stylized appearance. Both the front and back ends bear dual cannons, and neither end has a visible plasma beam. It appears to be roughly based on concept art by [[Shi Kai Wang]]. It should be noted, however, that the story in which it appears, ''[[Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa]]'', uses a very large amount of artistic license. The story is canonical, but the visuals of the story clearly are not. | *In the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', the Scarab's design is based on the version from ''Halo 2'', although it has a very stylized appearance.
