==Description==
==Description==
The Shell-shocked Army Trooper looks like a standard NPC trooper. However, when approached, he will be cowering and pointing his [[M6G magnum|pistol]] at his head or at the walls, yelling:

[[Insurrectionist|Innies]] were bad enough, now we got freakin' aliens? Not me man. I'm out! O-U-T, out! Lemme tell you, whatever you do, don't let them bite you. I hear if one of those [[Unggoy|little ones]] bites you, ''you turn into one!'' Imagine it, man, we're all going to turn into little [[methane]]-sucking freaks! They're going to strap us up with [[Methane tank|tanks]] and have us fighting on their side! Not me, man, I'm out! They're not going to get me. No way I'm turning into no [[Sangheili|squid-faced alien freak]]! I bet that's what those [[Jiralhanae|big monkey-looking Brute things]] are! They're us, man! They're us, turned Covie and fighting ourselves, man! Oh, ''God''! No way, not me. No way, no way, no way, oh, God, no, no, no, no!}}

The trooper then begins to alternately shiver, scream, then tries to console himself by saying, "sh, sh, okay".  He is then killed by Yanme'e forces. However, he can be saved if the player kills the Drones and uses a drop shield to protect the trooper.

The trooper then begins to alternately shiver, scream, then tries to console himself by saying, "sh, sh, okay".  He probably died, either by the Covenant's hands, suicide or the glassing of the planet.

*The Shell-shocked Army Trooper is a reference to the [[AWOL Marine|other]] [[Suicidal Marine|traumatized]] [[Wounded Marine|troops]] from previous ''Halo'' games. Of them, he is the only one who is an Army trooper rather than a Marine. He is the second one who is traumatized by the Covenant as opposed to the [[Flood]], the first being the Wounded Marine in ''Halo 3: ODST''.
*If he is killed, he may briefly continue saying his lines.

*The phrase, ''"...if one of those little ones bites you, you turn into one!"'' is likely a reference to the Flood, and to the fact that two of the other crazed Marines lost their minds in response to the Flood. The phrase may also be a reference to ''[[Red vs Blue]]'', in which Caboose once thought that, because he was bitten and had his blood drained, he was going to turn into an alien.
