The Mongoose is an archetypal [[Wikipedia:All-terrain vehicle|All-terrain vehicle]]; it's small, fast and used to traverse all types of terrain. Since its introduction in ''Halo 3'', it has gone through several visual and audio design changes though it has functionally remained nearly the same each time.

The Mongoose is only drivable in the campaign of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' in the level ''[[Mombasa Streets]]'' but only if the player acquires [[audio log]]s. These audio logs will begin unlocking one of the [[Supply cache|supply caches]]. Several of them contain the Mongoose which can be used throughout the entirety of the play space. Alternatively, if one is playing the ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' version of ''Halo 3: ODST'', the Rally Point/Checkpoint "Open City" will have all of these caches open to begin with.{{Ref/Reuse|ODSTCamp}}

====''Halo Infinite''====
In [[Halo Infinite]], the Mongoose is a reward for gaining 300 [[Valor]] and can be delivered at any [[Forward Operating Base]] (FOB) under UNSC control. Enough Valor will be obtained in normal gameplay before capturing any FOB, so it will always be available as a reward. Mongooses can also be found at [[Outpost Tremonius (location)|Outpost Tremonius]] after being captured.

No direct analogous counterparts exist to the Mongoose. However several vehicles, come close to it in size or roughly the role they play in gameplay.

For the Covenant, the [[Ghost]] is a close size counterpart to the Mongoose. Although the Ghost is a single seat vehicle, with mounted weaponry and a boosting function.

The UNSC also has other vehicles that do the same role or of similar size. The [[Jackrabbit]] of ''Halo Wars 2'' performs and is of similar size to the Mongoose. With the weapon upgrade, the Jackrabbit can also perform similarly to a Mongoose with a passenger in the first-person shooter games.

The [[Scout Warthog]] is the closest to the Mongoose in terms of gameplay. It is weaponless, with only one seat for a passenger. Though it is considerably larger than the Mongoose.

The [[Troop Transport Warthog]] while also unarmed, provides much more transportation capabilities than the Mongoose as it has three more seats in the rear compartment.

In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the Mongoose is often driven by AI [[UNSC Marine Corps/Gameplay|Marines]], with a passenger that has a [[Rocket launcher]]. This behavior can be seen on ''[[The Storm]]'', ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]'' and ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''. The Mongoose can be used by the player itself in these levels as well. Where the first Warthog is parked in the level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]'', just to the left of it is a usable Mongoose.

The Mongoose in ''Halo 3'' acts as an objective ferry primarily but can also be used to quickly reach out and control other areas.
