It was intended for use by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]].<ref name="waypoint"/>

==Overview==
Derived from two separate projects, HRUNTING and [[Project YGGDRASIL|YGGDRASIL]],<ref name="Algolis"/> the Prototype was a development of the predecessors to the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], which was designed for use by the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]]; as a result of this legacy, it bears some similarities to the [[:File:Journal MK I.png|Mark I exoskeleton]] developed in 2500.<ref name="waypoint"/>

Despite its effectiveness, the idea was mainly scrapped, as the user was very vulnerable and it was too complicated for use on the limited number of SPARTAN-IIs.<ref>'''Halo Legends''': ''Prototype'' developer commentary</ref>

During the [[Algolis Invasion]], the prototype exoskeleton was ordered destroyed under the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]]. Despite this order, the Marine known as [[Ghost (Marine)|Ghost]] took control of the exoskeleton to use it to buy escaping Marines and civilians time to escape for the duration of the self-destruct sequence. The exoskeleton took heavy damage, but Ghost completed his mission. Once the timer ran out, Ghost activated the self-destruct, obliterating all of the nearby Covenant forces in a nuclear explosion.<ref name="waypoint"/><ref>'''Halo Legends''', ''Prototype''</ref> However, not all data on the Mark I ADS was lost when Algolis fell, leading to the creation of the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I (J) Green Machine|"[J]" variant]] of the suit.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/folks-need-heroes '''Canon Fodder 98.2:''' ''Folks Need Heroes'']</ref>

HRUNTING and YGGDRASIL would continue to develop subsequent Armor Defense Systems. This work culminated in the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System|Mark IX "Mantis"]] used by the UNSC.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''']</ref> [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] was evidently involved with this program.<ref>'''Halo: Fall of Reach - Invasion''', ''Issue 2''</ref>

==Features==
The HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL suit was powered by a nuclear fusion reactor. Unlike the more advanced MJOLNIR system, the user did not need to possess physiological augmentation to wear the armor. Though the [[Heads-up display|HUD]] was rather similar to that of the MJOLNIR, the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL's integrated weapon system and improved target assessment negated the need for a neural interface link. The suit used simple [[laser]] and radio technology for communications. Unlike the MJOLNIR, the suit did not recycle fluids. Overall, the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL was much more expensive to manufacture than the MJOLNIR, which meant that it saw very limited production.<ref name="waypoint" /><ref>[http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=967531 '''Halo.bungie.org''': ''Re: End of Prototype *Legends spoils*'']</ref>

===Armament===
The main strength of the suit lay in its myriad of weapon systems, each integrated directly into the infrastructure of the exoskeleton. The right arm ended in the 850-round, six-barreled [[T261 Lucifer|T261 Lucifer Arm-Mounted Gatling Gun]] which possessed an integrated targeting system.  A rather large-barreled grenade launcher was mounted on top of the gatling gun with what appeared to be the ammunition belt wrapped around the base. The right shoulder was topped with a tri-barreled [[LAU-1810/SGM-151|LAU-1810/SGM-151 missile launcher]] that fired heat-seeking missiles. An [[M149 Recoilless Rifle|M149 Magellan Recoilless Rifle]] was mounted on the left shoulder, which had to be manually aimed by the operator. The suit carried fifty explosive 105mm rounds for the M149, each with a five-meter blast radius.

The suit's left arm ended in a mechanical hand used to both operate weapons and manipulate external objects with ease. Two additional missile tubes were attached to the forearm and were packed the same type of missiles used on the shoulder-mounted cluster. Three [[Type 18 Magnetic/Bayonet-style Claymore]]s explosives were attached to each thigh, each with enough power to completely engulf a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] tank in the blast.

HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL also featured a 300-megaton, lead-tampered nuclear fission self-destruct device which used the components of the suit's fusion reactor. Activating the self-destruct sequence would begin a staggered, codeword-activated countdown. Because such a system violates several military conventions regarding "kamikaze-style" actions, the device's purpose is still officially considered a "security" contingency. The codeword is written on the HUD for the wearer to read before activation.<ref name="waypoint" />

===Equipment===
The suit made use of a number of high-tech innovations to operate efficiently in combat. One of these improvements was an integrated jetpack used for powered flight. This jetpack uses a total of four stabilizers and four afterburner thrusters located on the front and back of the suit. Directional control seems to have been provided by shifts in balance by the operator. When not in use, the pack's thrusters folded into slots in the suit to protect from external damage. Another useful addition was the incorporation of the core technology behind the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s reverse-engineered [[bubble shield]]s. The dynamic nature of the shield makes it automatically engage when the suit comes under fire. However, the suit lacks the constant, form-fitting energy shields used by the MJOLNIR armor systems.

==Trivia==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes}}
*[[Wikipedia:Hrunting|Hrunting]] is a magical sword given to [[wikipedia:Beowulf (hero)|Beowulf]] in the Anglo-Saxon [[wikipedia:Beowulf|poem of the same name]]. It had never failed in battle until Beowulf's fight with a Wyrm, [[wikipedia:European dragon|a dragon]]. [[wikipedia:Yggdrasil|Yggdrasil]] is the name of the "world tree" of Norse mythology.
*Interestingly, the armor's motion sensor uses yellow dots to represent hostile contacts, as opposed to MJOLNIR's motion sensor, which uses red dots for hostiles and yellow for friendly forces.
*In ''[[Halo Mash-Up: Minecraft Evolved]]'', the Iron Golem mob is retextured to look like the prototype suit.
