==Gameplay==

In gameplay, when Covenant warriors encounter the ~~Demon (~~Master Chief) in combat and sight, they usually engage him with extreme caution. [[Grunts]] and [[Jackals]] have a tendency to retreat upon the Demon killing their Elite commander, or if they are the only soldier remaining. The [[Prophets]] and [[Brutes]] also refer to the Master Chief as the Demon<ref>[[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]] cutscene, "Kill the demon!".</ref>. The [[Prophet of Truth]] is the only member of the Covenant that has referred to John-117 by his alternate name of Master Chief.<ref>[[The Heretic (Level)|The Heretic]] cutscene, "But this demon, this "Master Chief"..."</ref> It is theorized that Truth says this so the player knows who the demon is, as the term is not used in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.

If any Covenant soldier actually kills a Demon, it may be assumed they are given a very high reward for their success against this potent and dangerous adversary. This can be noted in gameplay during Halo 1: when John-117 dies, the nearby Grunts laugh crazily or shout "I did it! I'm the one!" and similar things. Also the nearby Sangheili laugh. In [[Halo 2]] when the Master Chief dies, the nearby Elites say something along the lines of "The Demon is dead, I killed it! I killed the Demon!"; "The Prophets shall reward me well for that!"; "The Demon is dead! By my hand!"; "I have earned my Journey!"; or more rarely, "Ha! And I'm not even [[The Arbiter (rank)|The Arbiter]]!".
