Unggoy are typically poor warriors in terms of skill, poor shots when not focused, physically weak, and are generally on the whole, quite tactically inept. When witnessing their commanders eliminated during a battle, they often go into a panic and scatter in random directions. However, what Unggoy may lack in individual skill, they make up for with sheer numbers, high tenacity, also ''if'' they are focused, can be quite accurate with their weapons not to mention they breed at a remarkable rate. The Covenant used the high-breeding rate of the Unggoy to their advantage in the Human-Covenant War, where squads of Unggoy very frequently overpowered UNSC personnel through force of numbers. The conflict on [[Harvest]], and thus the Human-Covenant War, was in part started by an Unggoy named [[Yull]] tearing apart [[Osmo|Private Osmo]]. [[Special Operations Grunts]], which are known to wear black colored armor, are far more tenacious than the lower tiered ones, and have even been known to carry [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|fuel rod guns]] and plasma launchers which makes them extremely dangerous foes. | Unggoy are typically poor warriors in terms of skill, poor shots when not focused, physically weak, and are generally on the whole, quite tactically inept.

Unggoy are the only Covenant species to breathe [[methane]] rather than [[oxygen]]. Their combat armor/harness has an integrated methane re-breather system, as Unggoy are unable to survive for long periods of time without methane due to asphyxiation much like humans without oxygen. Due to this, if the player manages to [[melee]] their methane tank off, they | Unggoy are the only Covenant species to breathe [[methane]] rather than [[oxygen]].

Due to this, if the player manages to [[melee]] their methane tank off, they rapidly die. | ||
