Scarabs are quite notable for their intimidating, animalistic appearance and enormous size. Each of a Scarab's legs are each at least 90' tall (according to Stephen Loftus). These legs are surprisingly deft and accurate for their size, and are even able to find holds in narrow places, such as a canyon on [[Installation 05]] or the streets of [[New Mombasa]]. These legs can also be used for weapons, anything that gets in its way | Scarabs are quite notable for their intimidating, animalistic appearance and enormous size.

These legs are surprisingly deft and accurate for their size, and are even able to find holds in narrow places, such as a canyon on [[Installation 05]] or the streets of [[New Mombasa]]. These legs can also be used for weapons, as anything that gets in its way will be impaled by a monstrous pointed leg. Because of the Scarab's size and weight, they are not able to climb tall walls and buildings, and are not skilled at making sharp turns, as evident in the level [[Metropolis]]. As seen in Turf, particularly small and twisting city streets can overwhelm and crash Scarabs. | ||
To defend itself from aerial attacks, the Scarab sports two turrets that shoot large red plasma bolts similar to the [[Shade]] or [[Shielded Plasma Cannon]]. In [[Halo 2]], they were only seen being used once, in the opening cinematic of [[Outskirts]], though the weapon mounts are also seen on the Scarab found later in the game. | To defend itself from aerial attacks, the Scarab sports two turrets that shoot large red plasma bolts similar to the [[Shade]] or [[Shielded Plasma Cannon]].
