Asteroidea anti-personnel mine

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

The Asteroidea anti-personnel mine is an explosive device used primarily by the UNSC. Asteroidea mines have eight arms and pressure triggers. They can be thrown through the air with ease and explode producing shrapnel similar to the Fragmentation Grenade.[1] Asteroidea mines were used by Spartan-II's during the Raid on Camp New Hope, and were used to kill General Howard Graves and a team of rebel commandos.[2]

Trivia

  • "Asteroidea" is the class which sea stars belong to, a reference to the mine's starfish-like shape.
