I don't think the Vampire follows the Covenant naming scheme. Covenant vehicles are named after ghosts, spirits and ethereal creatures. Not just monsters of myth. | I don't think the Vampire follows the Covenant naming scheme. Covenant vehicles are named after ghosts, spirits and ethereal creatures. Not just monsters of myth. | ||
:The scarab. A monster of myth. Also the covenant's largest ground vehicle. The covenant naming scheme seems to just mainly focus around recorded things that have great power, or stuck to stealth. A scarab was a really small bug, so was the locust, hence the naming relation. I recall something about how shades in the old days used to refer to creatures made of living shadow, same with wraiths being shadowy spirits. Spirits were, well, spirits. Then again, the naming structure could in fact be based on things that were seen as unwanted or tabooed. I can not thing of a single covenant vehicle that was not a taboo or unwanted in older days. Vampires, spirits, locusts, and such. Last of my thoughts (I believe this to be the true naming scheme), is the thought that the naming scheme is actually itself a biblical allusion. Most of these things were recorded in the bible at some point. Scarabs and locusts in exodus, vampires and a few more in the old testament, and spirits and wraiths during the time of Jesus in the new testament. ~[[wikia:User:Blade_bane|<font color="purple">'''Blade bane'''</font>]] ~ [[ | :The scarab.
