The ''' | The '''Crawler''' is an autonomous [[Forerunner]] defense construct, designed by the [[Promethean]] [[Warrior-Servant]]s as a means of asymmetrically combating [[the Flood]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQtOU5gZfzI&feature=g-user-u '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Halo 4 Fiction Panel from SDCC 2012'']</ref><ref name="gameplay">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymu-1MDzb9M&feature=g-user-u '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Halo 4: A New Campaign and Halo Infinity Multiplayer Panel from SDCC 2012'']</ref> | ||
==Overview== | |||
Crawlers are small, quadrupedal machines capable of both ranged and close-quarters combat, using a small [[Directed energy weapon|energy beam]] as their primary weapon; this weapon disintegrates targets to prevent their biomass from being co-opted by the Flood.<ref name="gameplay"/> Crawlers are ferociously aggressive, having been specifically designed to hunt down and eliminate any foreign threats, their inorganic nature making them immune to Flood infection.<ref name="gameplay"/> They travel in large packs and work together to destroy enemies by overwhelming them from every conceivable angle, relying on skirmishing tactics.<ref name="characters">[http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!an-epic-universe/characters/8c164b48-05e7-4c13-a268-f60ec3a72938 '''Halo 4 Official Site''', ''Characters'']</ref> | |||
Crawlers are often directed by [[Promethean Knight]]s, who regard them as cannon fodder. They are protected by [[Promethean Watcher|Watcher]] [[Sentinel]]s, which can create new Crawlers from raw materials in the ground. In addition to the basic type of Crawler, a more heavily armed unit and a long-range unit are also employed.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/06/20/The-Halo-Bulletin-62012.aspx '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''The Halo Bulletin: 6.20.12'']</ref> | |||
Numerous Crawlers were encountered by [[UNSC Defense Force]] and [[Covenant]] personnel on the [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] in summer [[2557]]. | |||
