The Scarab is a super unit that can be purchased at the [[War Council]] by all Banished [[leader]]s aside from [[Voridus]]. Unlike its ''Halo Wars'' counterpart the Banished Scarab comes equipped with [[Thrasher missile]]s instead of a plasma cannon, and a plasma shield ability. The plasma shield ability makes the Scarab invincible for a short time. Up to three can be used at once in standard modes. Scarabs are effective against infantry, vehicles, and structures, but are only okay against aircraft.
