The most powerful class of [[Promethean Crawler]]s, Alpha Crawlers lead packs of lesser Crawlers.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/tech/promethean-crawlers '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Promethean Crawlers'']</ref> They are distinguished from other Crawler subtypes by the array of glowing [[hard light]] spikes, which indicate status, on their carapaces, and are armed with a built-in [[Z-130 Suppressor]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-US/Universe/detail/halo-4-promethean-gallery/afd5a210-a562-49b9-8255-a6a741e5b89c#imageNumber=5 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo 4: Promethean Gallery'']</ref> While they are designed to lead detachments of varying sizes, they can be found in excess of three or four per pack. They nevertheless serve the same purpose, to lead, augment and fortify localized Crawler forces. They are easily the most recognizable of their kind.<ref name="H4EVG"/> | |||
