'''"Locust"''' is the name applied to a series of [[Covenant]] quadrupedal mining platforms. | |||
==Summary== | |||

Out of nine tiers of Excavators they are classed tier-one on its scale.<ref name="HWU">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/scarab '''Halo Waypoint''': Universe, Vehicles, ''Scarab'']</ref> | |||

==Trivia== | |||
Like all known [[Excavator]]s, the Locust is named after [[Wikipedia:Locust|an insect]] rather than a supernatural entity like most [[Covenant]] vehicles. Locusts are members of the grasshopper family that are infamously known for rapidly stripping fields of crops. The walker's similar "building killer" usage may be the reason for the vehicle's name. | |||
