The visual appearance of the Unggoy | The visual appearance of the Unggoy Combat Harness has changed considerably every time it has appeared in fiction; this has led to confusion as to whether or not these are separate variants or if the differences are simply aesthetic in nature. | ||
In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], there was a variant with a partially curled-back methane tank, along with a larger methane rebreather. This variant is commonly referred to by fans as "curl-backs". This variant is absent in newer titles. In [[Halo Wars]], the combat harness used by [[Ripa 'Moramee]]'s [[Suicide Grunts]] use cylinder-like methane tanks and goggle-like rebreathers. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the design of the harness varies greatly between different Unggoy ranks. Along with the traditional combat harness, which is now worn exclusively by ''[[Unggoy Minor]]''. | |||
The first variant is a two-pronged methane tank used by both [[Unggoy Majors]] and [[Special Operations Unggoy]]. [[Urk]] -a member of Bungie- joked about this variant, calling them "[[wikia:c:transformers:Starscream (G1)|Starscreams]]" for their spires. | |||
The second variant is features a cylindrical methane tank that is worn by [[Unggoy Heavies]] and [[Unggoy Ultras]]. While similar to the ones used by [[Halo Wars]]' [[Suicide Unggoy]], it is still otherwise a different variant. | |||
[[Unggoy Heavies]],[[Special Operations Unggoy]] and [[Unggoy Ultras]] wear rebreathers that fully cover their faces. While the former two's masks appear similar to [[human]] gas masks, the latter looks similar to the [[wikia:c:masseffect:Armor Customization|Mass Effect's Death Mask]]. Unggoy Ultra masks offer more protection than normal masks, blocking an entire [[headshot]] before falling off. | |||
