'''Minor''' was the lowest rank bestowed upon [[Unggoy]] in the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant military|military]].<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', pages 142-143</ref><ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', page 87</ref> The rank of Minor was also used by several [[Covenant remnants|remnants]] of the Covenant after its fragmentation.
==Combat==
Usually found brandishing [[Plasma Pistols]], these Grunts are the most cowardly beings in all of the [[Covenant]] ranks and are extremely weak. Killing an [[Elite]] overseer or a [[Major Grunts|Major Grunt]] will usually cause all Minor Grunts in the area to flee.


==History==
Minor Grunts are easy to kill no matter what you use, but it is most efficent to either [[melee]] them from behind or kill them with a [[headshot]] using a [[Pistol]] or [[Magnum]].
Minors were considered the lowest-ranking of Unggoy in the Covenant's war machine for many years. Minors saw action in a myriad of theaters during the decades-long [[Human-Covenant War]], during which time they would typically be treated as expendable cannon fodder. In the conflict's final year, Unggoy Minors fought in during the [[Fall of Reach]], the [[Battle of Installation 04]], the [[Battle for Earth]], the [[Battle of Installation 05]], and the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. When the [[Great Schism]] broke out, Minors found themselves falling on a number of different sides of fighting, often in accordance with the wishes of their superiors at the time. After the war's conclusion, large numbers of Unggoy Minors fought on behalf of [[Merg Vol's Covenant]] during the [[Battle of Draetheus V]] in [[2554]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''</ref> Although Minors were not prevalent in [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]], they were employed by the faction during the [[Battle of Installation 03]] in [[2557]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''</ref>


==Equipment==
Unggoy Minors were usually sent into combat with very little in the way of equipment. They wore simple, orange-colored [[Unggoy combat harness|combat harness]]es with either a pyramidal or a more smooth, less pointed [[methane tank]]. Minors were often equipped with [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s or [[Type-33 needler]]s, but on occasion they were given {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}s. It was also not uncommon for an Unggoy minor to carry {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}s.
