The '''Gúta'''<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=enemies&cid=28449 '''Bungie.net''': ''Halo: Reach'' - Enemies]</ref> is a gigantic troll-like species found on the planet [[Reach]]. It is hostile to both humans and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] troops.

==Description==
The Gúta is the largest terrestrial lifeform discovered on Reach. Severe aggression is rare, outside rutting males or females with young. Even so, it is an extremely dangerous animal.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=enemies&cid=28449 B.net classification]</ref> The Gúta is likely carnivorous due to its large fangs and claws and powerful musculature and agility. It is remarkably durable, requiring three to four shotgun blasts and an equal number of melee attacks to kill it on the [[Normal]] difficulty. The species was likely rendered extinct due to the glassing of Reach, although it is possible that there were specimens on other planets at the time.

==Trivia==
*The Gúta bears a passing resemblance to the cut [[Blind Wolf]] from [[Pre-Xbox Halo|pre-Xbox builds]] of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. It also greatly resembles 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.
*A Gúta's roar can push a Spartan back fairly hard despite the enormous weight of a Spartan clad in [[MJOLNIR armor]].
*On a player's career stats at [[Bungie.net]], 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>'''[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition]]''', ''Developer Commentary''</ref>
*Unlike killing [[Moa]], killing a Gúta awards the player points in campaign scoring.
*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|Elites]] and [[Unggoy|Grunts]], 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>'''[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition]]''', ''Developer Commentary''</ref>
*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 in the game.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition]]''', ''Developer Commentary''</ref>
*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.
*The Gúta may have been derived from the [[Drinol]], a deleted concept for a massive beast Bungie had explored during the development of ''[[Halo 2]]''.

-==Overview==
-===Biology===
-Gúta are the largest terrestrial life form that was discovered on [[Reach]].{{Ref/Reuse|BungieReachGuta}} They are semi-bipedal hairless creatures with scaly skin. The average Gúta have two toes on each foot, and three fingers on each hand; where extremely sharp and long claws grow on the two most outward fingers. Their head features green eyes. Gúta have two large tusks that grow from inside their mouth, complimented by a set of jagged teeth.{{Ref/Reuse|Model}}
-===Behavior===
-The Gúta are semi-bipedal, where they are capable of standing on two legs, but will use their arms for support while running. The animals have been seen to use their large claws on their hands to defend themselves against threats.{{Ref/Reuse|HRCE}}
-While severe aggression among Gúta is rare, male Gúta are known to be aggressive when looking for a mate, while female Gúta are aggressive when protecting their young. Despite this the animals are considered extremely dangerous.{{Ref/Reuse|BungieReachGuta}}
-===Habitat===
-Gúta were indigenous to the planet [[Reach]],{{Ref/Reuse|BungieReachGuta}} prior to its fall in the summer of [[2552]]. The species was known to live in the [[Viery Territory]], being present in the [[Eposz]] continent at [[Szurdok Ridge]].{{Ref/Reuse|HRCE}}
-==Gameplay==
-===''Halo: Reach''===
-The Gúta is remarkably durable, requiring three to four [[M45 shotgun|shotgun]] blasts and an equal number of [[melee]] attacks to kill it on [[Normal]] difficulty. {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}s, however, are very effective against them, usually granting a one-hit kill.  They can also survive up to three direct hits from a [[Hunter]]'s cannon. By roaring, the Gúta can launch the player backward a considerable distance. The player can move a dead Gúta's body around by walking into it, as its body is considered solid in the game's physics engine, unlike all other bodies in the game.
