This article contains information about a non-canonical subject that, while official, is not part of the established Halo universe.

This article is about the Unggoy. For the achievement, see Flipyap (achievement).

"You killed Flipyap! Or Yapflip, was he? It was Yapflip. No, Flipyap is his brother. Don't tell me, I don't know Flipyap! Flipyap and I went to nipple academy together, even though he's dead..."

— An unnamed Unggoy^[1]

Flipyap is allegedly an Unggoy in service with the Covenant. According to another Unggoy, Flipyap attended nipple academy.^[1]

Production notesEdit

Flipyap was first mentioned in a piece of random dialogue in Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST; with the IWHBYD skull enabled, after an Unggoy witnesses the death of an ally, he may identify his dead companion as Flipyap, then states they "went to nipple academy together". The line of dialogue was notably the first mention of the nipple academy, which is presumably named after food nipple feeding tubes used by the Unggoy.^[1]^[2] In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, there is an eponymous achievement for triggering this piece of dialogue.
Flipyap is mentioned twice in Halo Infinite random dialogue. An Unggoy may shout in a battle cry, "For Atriox! For Yapyap! For 'Mdama! For Flipyap!"^[3]^[4] During a propaganda tower broacast, Glibnub brings up Flipyap, along with a few other names, as a great Unggoy name.^[5]^[6]
