The Locust is a smaller, tank-sized counterpart to the [[Scarab]], which is also a repurposed mining platform. It does not share the Scarab's spiked 'feet', though it is capable of using its legs to climb over obstacles in a similar manner to its larger cousin.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Dome of Light]]''</ref> Like {{Pattern|Deutoros|Scarab}}s the Locust can be piloted by a [[Sangheili]] or [[Jiralhanae]].<ref name="HW">'''Halo Wars''', Locust dialogue</ref> The Locust possesses one rotating turret, which is very similar in appearance to a [[Type-26 Banshee]]'s cockpit. The turret houses a single plasma cannon that fires a linear pink beam; this beam is effective against both ground and air targets and can outrange most equivalent weapons. The Locust has a regenerating shield that is capable of protecting the vehicle from a limited amount of weapons fire. | The Locust is a smaller, tank-sized counterpart to the [[Scarab]], which is also a repurposed mining platform.
