 ==Introduction==
-The Scarab is a towering Covenant combat walker, upheld on four long mechanical legs - it is extremely different from the Covenant's other ground-based vehicles, such as the [[Wraith]], [[Ghost]], or [[Spectre]]. It is the largest known ground-based vehicle, as well as the most resistant to damage. But, the on board reactors that power the vehicle and plasma supply seem to be extremely flammable when introduced to flame and gasoline<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]], Page 209</ref>
+The Scarab is a towering Covenant walker, upheld on four long mechanical legs - it is extremely different from the Covenant's other ground-based vehicles, such as the [[Wraith]], [[Ghost]], or [[Spectre]]. Although it may seem suited for combat, as seen in Halo 2 scenarios and cases in the series of halo books, the truth being it is acctually for digging for things such as finding forerunner tech, or to create tunnels for military resions. This eexplains the fact that it uses large mechanical legs instead of a Boosted Gravity Propulsion System like most other covenant vehicles. It is the largest known ground-based vehicle, as well as the most resistant to damage. But, the on board reactors that power the vehicle and plasma supply seem to be extremely flammable when introduced to flame and gasoline<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]], Page 209</ref>

-Not much is known about the Scarab, other than what it can do in battle. It is commonly thought to be a mining vehicle that is simply very useful as a [[Covenant]] Heavy Assault Vehicle, but it's original purpose seems to be as a weapon.<ref>[[Halo:Ghosts of Onyx]], Page 206</ref>
-The Scarab is different from most of the Covenant's other ground-based attack vehicles. Instead of using anti-gravity pods, it walks about on massive legs. It is highly mobile for a vehicle of it's size, and sports numerous turrets that shoot large shards of explosive crystals, as well as a massive, forward-firing plasma cannon.
+The Scarab is different from most of the Covenant's other ground-based vehicles. Instead of using anti-gravity pods, it walks about on massive legs. It is highly mobile for a vehicle of it's size, and sports numerous turrets that shoot the same type of large ruby-red bolts of superheated plasma energy as the [[phantom]]s turrets, as well as a massive, forward-firing plasma cannon.
