Unggoy are, in general, poor soldiers in terms of skill and combat ability. They are poor shots when not focused, are physically weak, and are tactically inept as a rule. If their commanders are eliminated during combat, they frequently panic and scatter in random directions. However, what Unggoy may lack in individual skill, they make up for with tenacity and sheer numbers. The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] used the high breeding rate of the Unggoy to their advantage in the [[Human-Covenant War]], where squads of Unggoy frequently overpowered [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] personnel through force of numbers. A group of renegade Kig-Yar on the moon [[Metisette]] also took advantage of the Unggoy's prodigious reproductive rate, breeding an army with which they hoped to invade Earth. | Unggoy are, in general, poor soldiers in terms of skill and combat ability.

Unggoy are the only Covenant species to breathe [[methane]] rather than [[oxygen]]. Their combat armor/harness has an integrated methane re-breather system, as Unggoy are unable to survive for long periods of time without methane due to asphyxiation. Due to this, if the player manages to [[melee]] their [[methane tank]] off, they rapidly suffocate and die. | Unggoy are the only Covenant species to breathe [[methane]] rather than [[oxygen]].
