They are however capable of vertically scaling structures and leaping great heights in order to get tactical advantage. Crawlers are ferociously aggressive, having been specifically designed to hunt down and eliminate any foreign threats, their inorganic nature making them immune to Flood infection.{{Ref/Reuse|gameplay}} They travel in large packs and work together to destroy enemies by overwhelming them from every conceivable angle, relying on skirmishing tactics.{{Ref/Reuse|characters}} | ||
Crawlers are often directed by [[Promethean Knight]]s, who regard them as cannon fodder. They are protected by [[Promethean Watcher|Watcher]] [[Sentinel]]s, which can offer them cover in the form of small [[Z-90 hardlight shield|hardlight shields]] or create new Crawlers from raw materials in the ground. In addition to the basic type of Crawler, [[Alpha Crawler|a more heavily armed unit]] and [[Crawler Snipe|a long-range unit]] are also employed.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/06/20/The-Halo-Bulletin-62012.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''The Halo Bulletin: 6.20.12'']</ref> | Crawlers are often directed by [[Promethean Knight]]s, who regard them as cannon fodder.
