The ''' | The '''gúta'''<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=enemies&cid=28449 '''Bungie.net''': ''Halo: Reach'' - Enemies]</ref> is a gigantic troll-like species found on [[Reach]]. | ||
== | ==Description== | ||
The gúta is the largest terrestrial lifeform ever discovered on [[Reach]],<ref name="bungie.net">[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=enemies&cid=28449 B.net classification]</ref> at nearly twenty feet tall.<ref name="size"/> Severe aggression from gúta is rare, apart from rutting males or females with young. Even so, it is an extremely dangerous animal.<ref name="bungie.net"/> The gúta is nearly hairless, with scaled skin and sharp teeth. The species has tusks extruding from either side of its jaw. Gúta have two toes on each foot and three fingers on each hand, with an extremely sharp, long claw on each digit. Although gúta are capable of moving bipedally, they will use their arms for support while running.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Nightfall]]''</ref> The species may have been rendered [[extinction|extinct]] due to the [[glassing]] of Reach, although it is possible that some were evacuated to preserve Reach's wildlife, or that some existed offworld already. | |||

It is remarkably durable, requiring three to four [[M45 shotgun|shotgun]] blasts and an equal number of [[melee]] attacks to kill it on [[Normal]] difficulty. [[Plasma grenade]]s, however, are very effective against them, usually granting a one-hit kill.{{Verify_source}} They can also survive up to three direct hits from a [[Hunter]]'s cannon. | |||

*The | *A creature that looks very similar to a gúta, albeit a much smaller one than depicted in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', is indigenous to [[Minab]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 17|Issue 17]]''</ref> | ||
* | *The gúta has a slight resemblance to the [[w:c:fallout:Deathclaw|Deathclaw]] from the ''Fallout'' series and slightly resembles the [[w:c:starwars:Rancor|rancor]] of the ''Star Wars'' universe. | ||
*The gúta is seemingly named after the guta, a fearsome demon from [[Wikipedia:Hungarian mythology#Persons, creatures, gods|Hungarian mythology]], as many of Reach's early settlers were of Hungarian descent. | |||
*On a player's career stats at [[Bungie.net]] and [[Halo Waypoint]], the gúta is listed as "mule". Instead | *A gúta's roar can push a Spartan back fairly hard despite the enormous weight of a Spartan clad in [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]]. | ||
*Unlike killing [[Moa]], killing a | *On a player's career stats at [[Bungie.net]] and [[Halo Waypoint]], the gúta is listed as "mule". Instead listing a rank, the entry simply says, "No hugging". The "Mule" nickname is an internal name used by Bungie employees.<ref name="DC">'''[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition]]''', ''Developer Commentary''</ref> | ||
* | *Unlike killing [[Moa]], killing a gúta awards points in campaign scoring due to the creatures being a threat to the player. | ||
*Several ideas were formed around the gúta, but were ultimately cut from the game. Among these ideas were gúta being used as battle-mounts by [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]], gúta that were equipped with mounted weapons, and the ability for the player to "hijack" the Gúta and plant a grenade in its mouth.<ref name="DC"/> | |||
*The gúta was originally set to be in several campaign missions in addition to ''[[Nightfall]]''. Due to resource constraints, this level features the only two gúta found in the game.<ref name="DC"/> | |||
*The player can move a dead gúta's body around by attempting to walk over it, as a gúta's body is considered solid in the game's physics engine, unlike all other bodies in the game. | |||
