The '''Doozy''' is a snowmobile in service with the [[United Nations Space Command]]. It is used for rapid movement over snowy terrain, particularly for medical transport, messaging, diversionary tactics, and evacuation. A rear-facing "nausea seat" can accommodate a passenger, much like the rear seat of the [[M274 Mongoose]]. However, the design is often seen as a hindrance.<ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'', page 237</ref>

==Production notes==
The '''Doozy''' was a [[UNSC]] vehicle that was going to be included in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]'', but was deleted from the games. It is however, seen in the [[Halo 2 Collector's Edition video|Halo 2 Collector's Edition Video]].
The Doozy is inspired by a boat of the same name that was implemented in [[Pre-Xbox Halo|early builds]] of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' though ultimately [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved vehicles|cut]].<ref name="untold">[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/xwqjg3/the-complete-untold-history-of-halo-an-oral-history#ulf-1 '''VICE''' - ''The Complete, Untold History of Halo''] - ''At first you had one gun, an assault rifle that would shoot grenades, and there was a little single-person boat, they called it the Doozy.''</ref> The watercraft would have featured a rear-facing seat, allowing a player or NPC to engage pursuing enemies.<ref>[[Halo 2 Limited Collector's Edition#Limited Collector's Edition Disc|''Halo 2'' Limited Collector's Edition disc]]</ref> The Doozy, along with several variants of the [[M12 Warthog]], was canonized in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'', albeit as a snowmobile rather than a boat.

Before the vehicle was deleted, it had a [[chaingun]] in the back, and to man the chaingun, one had to sit in the "nausea seat", which faced backwards.

Interestingly, in the [[Halo Editing Kit]], there is an option for vehicle types, and one is 'human boat.' This is because [[Bungie]] had built in a boat function into the game engine, but the concept was never used.

The [[Halo Encyclopedia]] lists a vehicle of the same name which it describes as a modified snowmobile, used for quick movements over snowy ground, particularly for medical transport, messaging, diversionary tactics, and evacuation.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', page 237</ref> Its physical descriptions is otherwise essentially the same as the boat version, noting that the "nausea seat" proved to be more of a hindrance than a help. The Doozy is one of the three vehicles based on deleted material featured in the Encyclopedia, the other two being variants of the [[Warthog]].
