The '''Klavrig Workshop Support Crawler''', colloquially known as the '''Skitterer''', is a fast scout walker used by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=457}} | The '''Klavrig Workshop Support Crawler''', colloquially known as the '''Skitterer''', is a fast scout walker used by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=457}} They are cheap, expendable vehicles, though their twin-linked beam cannons are surprisingly lethal given their size. Their most notable feature is that they can use a defend ability to set up a protective overwatch on other friendly units and act as a weapon turret and defense shield.{{Ref/Reuse|LML}} | ||

Skitterers were deployed by "Colony" against the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} in [[2559]] during the [[Second Ark Conflict]]. | Harsh restrictions on AI research in the Covenant limited the development of autonomous weapon systems, though clever [[San'Shyuum]] technicians did find that carefully selected and pruned [[Lekgolo]] colonies could substitute for artificial minds in some applications. Though never widely used, combat machines such as the Skitterer proved this approach had merit, though the risk of aberrant gestalts in small colonies meant it never saw widespread use. "[[Colony]]" later adapted and perfected this technique, which allowed for the integration of Lekgolo with the Banished [[Barukaza Workshop Locust|Locust]] and mass production of Skitterers without the behavioral issues that plagued earlier work.{{Ref/Reuse|LML}} Skitterers were deployed by "Colony" against the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} in [[2559]] during the [[Second Ark Conflict]].<ref name="HW2">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref> Skitterers were manufactued by the [[Armory of Gethrog]] and developed by the Klavrig workshop.<ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]''</ref> | ||
