The Moa appear as ambient life in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The Moa are harmless and will not attack the player. They will take shelter under bridges and other formations when there is a battle nearby. Neither human nor [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] AI are hostile towards the Moa, although if the player kills one while near friendly AI, such as a member of Noble Team or Army Troopers they will sometimes comment as if an enemy had been killed, and maybe fire on the Moas corpse.This is most likely a small oversight, as Bungie programmed NPCs to fire on dead enemies the player killed.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=11135543 ''Bungie Media - Rendered Films'': Jorge hates Moas?]</ref> Moa appear as white dots on the player's motion tracker, and the player's reticle does not change color when it is pointed at a Moa.
