* | *The gúta has a slight resemblance to the [[fallout:Deathclaw|Deathclaw]] from the ''Fallout'' series and slightly resembles the [[starwars:Rancor|rancor]] of the ''Star Wars'' universe. | ||
*Although the gúta does not resemble any living animal on Earth, a family of prehistoric dinosaurs called [[Wikipedia:Therizinosaurus|Therizinosaurs]] is known to have giant claws on their forelimbs. | |||
*On a player's career stats at [[Bungie.net]] and [[Halo Waypoint]], the gúta is listed as "mule". Instead | *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. | ||

*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. | |||
