It is interesting that the [[Unggoy's]] methane tanks explode so easily when hit by Human projectile bullets, one would think the Covenant would have considered there tanks being hit by Super-Heated Plasma and would have reinforced them against such an accident. It may be that those who designed the suits wanted to keep [[Unggoy]] population under control, but this is still shaky since the explosion of flame could endanger other soldiers as well, it could also be blamed on production costs and how unimportant [[Unggoy]] were in combat in the first place. | |||

Methane Tanks are cylindrical, pyramidal, and in Halo: Combat Evolved, cones that curl-at-the-ended structures used by Covenant Unggoy (Grunts).[1] They are moderately large and resemble small fuel tanks of modern trucks.[2]
When they are really huge, they provide a place for the creatures to breathe their methane atmosphere outside of their suits. Thus, Grunts remove their suits when entering the huge methane filled tank, as they are not needed.[1]
There is a main chamber for the Grunts to reside in and a smaller chamber in front where the Grunts can change into and out of their suits.[1] These structures often have posted guards to prevent the creatures inside from being caught off guard.[3]
