'''Unmutuals''' are male [[Yanme'e]] who suffer from one (or possibly more) rare personality disorder(s), rendering the affected creatures incapable of functioning as a single, coherent low-grade hive-mind. This deficiency causes significant problems within their rigid, socialized species, ultimately leading to psychopathic behavior. Unmutuals brutally attack other Yanme'e, sometimes with little provocation, and even destroy eggs. These individuals are considered outcasts, banished from their hives, and often find refuge in small cavernous spaces between hive territories. Following their species' integration into the [[Covenant]], the number of unmutuals began to increase significantly. As a result, the Covenant sentenced unmutuals to work as [[Slavery|slaves]] in [[penal colony|penal work colonies]] operated by the [[Kig-Yar]], where they are worked to death and often tortured. Despite their violent and unpredictable natures, some unmutuals exhibit remarkable cleverness and intelligence.<ref name=EVO>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[Blunt Instruments]]''</ref><ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/yanme-e-drones '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Yanme'e'']</ref>

One such penal colony was transferred to [[Verge]], where they worked to maintain the local [[beacon]] with a constant supply of helium-3. They were accidentally freed by [[Team Black]], tricked by a [[Hopalong|lone individual]] who offered an alliance between the Yanme'e and the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]. While many of these Yanme'e were killed by the destruction of the beacon by [[Black-Two]], there may have been survivors.<ref name=EVO/>

The term "unmutuals" is an inexact translation from the original Covenant word. Another descriptive term is "incapable of socialization."
