History of the Unggoy (Grunts) | Biology History evolution and covenant integration | human vs grunt

The grunt while an easy target for a 7'2 spartan, for a 5'10 human, its a little bit more of a difficult task to handle. Grunts are stronger and naturally sport defensive capabilities that could injure a human due to proximity making a fight with an unggoy very dangerous. And they may not be as cowardly as you might think considering they staged a rebellion against creatures double their size. Lets discuss their Biology, History, and adoption into the covenant!

The Unggoy have a good trigger finger, give them a semi auto watch them wreak havoc. Also, wouldn't it be best for the Covenant to give a flying f#ck about the grunts? Train the grunts to be good at a young age. Due to the grunts advanced breeding, the covenant can make more good soldiers, instead of using grunts as the fodder that they are. Think about it-it can make the destruction of humanity easier.

[@RoanokeGaming]

true

[@TO5TADA]

Apparently unggoy children have multiple parents, it's covered in one of the books. I don't know if they only have two biological parents and their species are just polyamorous or if they actually have multiple biological parents. Also I've noticed that at least three species in the covenant lay eggs. Sanghieli, kigyar, and unggoy all lay eggs. I'm not sure about yanmae but as they are insects the chances are high that they do lay eggs. The sanshayum I have no idea.

Just a quick astronomy correction. Star colors move from red - a.k.a. M-class (coolest) - to blue - a.k.a. B and O Class (Hottest). White stars are middle range, typically G and F class stars, such as our sun (Sol) or Procyon. Also not sure where you heard that about the sun, but its actually white and our atmosphere shifts it to appear yellowish to our eyes.

[@DorianEudesSeverin]

I want to had several supplemental observation/reflexions on your match-up: I think humans have a way bigger advantage than you think. Equipement: UNSC combat gear is composed of Titanum plates, whic cover the torso, head, forearms and front legs. It's basically an Exoskeleton, that is lighter and more durable than the natural one the Grunt displays. Range: yes, their arms are proportionally longer, but not longer than human legs, that are as stated above for this scenario, covered in armor. Plus the footwear of militaries in general is always durable and somewhat protective (basic combat boots are leather/gum). Kicks are an option, and must I say, "the" Option for this fight. Bonus: what would be a low kick into, say an human lovely bits, would be a high kick in the Grunt's chin, breathing apparatus, or even forehead. Armored or not, I don't see their brain handling concussion better than ours (admitting that the head is as in ourselves, where the thinky bits are) Mobility: there are several issues for the Grunt. They can't kick you, but they can't really outrun you either (way shorter stride). And if they do try to gain mobility with their arms, they lose offensive capabilities; and I don't think they'd really be able to outrun a human even with the added mobility given by their arms, because of my following points. Second: their base equipment is heavier than yours, and they're weaker. Balahao is 0.7 earth gravity: they're basically carrying a 10yo on their backs, while also fighting a gravity that nearly add 50% of their weight. Even if their biology was akin to humans, they'd be at a disadvantage stamina-wise: but actually, their molecular biology is also an hindrance to this battle. They're Methane breather. Ok: it's energy rich, but a pain to make react. I don't know their metabolic rate, nor the chemical reaction that power their cells, but it's clearly not something as "explosive" as oxygene. Besides, the higher cost of reaction also mean their bodies will make less with more; also caping their total activity time. It's the most speculative bit, but it still means they're overall short stacked staminawise. Environmental Conditions: Balaho is a Freezer. It's basically Antarctica. Home Turf for Human Beings (basically anyplace they fight in) will be, in comparison, like say, a Lobster trying to fight you while boiling alive. I do think the breathing apparatuses are also refrigerating equipment; their shape make them look the part to act as heat dissipation tool. Still; they're Arthropod. They don't sweat. They probably only cool while breathing. Which also mean this will impact their stamina. Given all of theses disadvantages, I actually think the Unngoys are incredibly brave and enduring, but very very unlucky: and unlikely to win a one on one with a human, anywhere except on Balaho

[@travisjackson3076]

In the Halo canon its actually addressed that Unggoy win in CQC against humans. The one example I can think of is from the book Contact Harvest and, while they did get the upper hand by ambushing a soldier in a gang, they ripped apart one of the militias under Johnson's leadership.

[@arbiterprime2145]

Fun fact with the "rip the mask off" thing: Chief actually did that in the book Halo: The Flood (essentially the novel of the game). When he goes back to the PoA to blow it up, theres a Grunt hidden in a locker that shoots him in the back. This annoys him, so he rips off the mask, shoves it back into the locker and closes the door. "There was a loud click followed by wild hammering"

[@cozyguts3387]

a correction: maybe it’s a bit late to mention this now, but a blue star is hotter, more massive and produces more energy over a given period of time than a white star. white stars occupy the middle point of the spectral classes, while red stars are less massive and cooler, and blue stars more massive and hotter. the spectral classes range like so: O B A F G K M with spectral class O being the hottest and blue-est, and M being the coolest and red-est. for reference, our sun (which is white to our eyes) is a spectral glass G (and closer to an F than a K). so if their star is blue, it produces more energy also, the sun really doesn’t have a blue tint, it is pure white to our eyes. this is because our eyes are adjusted to see in the wavelengths of light the sun gives out most. those are basically all the colors of a rainbow (mostly green actually!). when you combine all of these colors you get pure white.

also I read somewhere that they're mostly found in stellar nurseries.!!! so they're kinda rare.!!!

[@Jordan-subj]

DarkRipper117 They're not rare, they can make a a huge bulk of younger galaxies with lots of stellar dust. It's just that they burn through their fuel at a way faster rate than the others, so they die early in a galaxy's lifespan compared to the yellows, oranges, and reds.

Holy shit man you went from a few hundred subscribers to 11k. Congrats man! Also did you see my previous comment? My twitter isnt working any other way to dm you the info

[@RoanokeGaming]

I now I am very lucky! well, as far as a DM I think really twitter is the best way to hit me up! I dont have a facebook or Discord or anything yet

[@spookieboogi6161]

Remember that clone who punched a droid in clone wars yeah that’s what I imagine it’s like to punch a grunt

[@lightningdreams5509]

You are gradually making subs bro Congrats at being at 10K

[@RoanokeGaming]

Thanks bro! I am getting there slowly but surely!

[@AttakusZakus]

Why do I feel like they’d be the best Species just to hang out with, without conflict.

[@stardogsmasher6217]

If there's one thing I'd like to see from the grunts in Halo Infinite, much like the Elites in Halo 2-3 is them teamed up with humanity, since the Swords of Sanghelios is a thing and we interact with them in Halo 5.

[@carl9666]

Balaho means "slush" in Tagalog, the language of the Philippines. Unggoy means "monkey", Tala means "star", Buwan means "moon", and Padpad means "cast adrift" in the same language.

[@liammiles6269]

Hey Roanoke. think you’ll make a video like this for the prophets?( if there’s enough knowledge available)

[@kiwimarshall3937]

Did you notice the grunts hand clip through the gun

[@RoanokeGaming]

not surprising! I actually have started to see a lot of clipping when you really start watching

[@tico117]

All of this science makes me wonder if the designers really think all of this through when creating their aliens

[@ThatOneGuy1024]

I love this stuff, keep it coming

[@RoanokeGaming]

Glad you are enjoying it bro! I am running out of morphology for halo as well as biological augmentations, might have to move into flood forms soon enough!

[@SerAstraeusXIV]

I saw a video like this but you said it in great detail 👍

[@RoanokeGaming]

oh yah bro, nowadays everyone has done everything, so I attempt to maybe cover it in some more indepth detail than the other guys haha glad you liked it though!

[@zero0275]

I honestly think grappling would work, they're clumsy, which would definitely allow a soldier to get it and just trip it and snap its neck or hold it down

[@JasonBellows]

Awesome video!!! Have you done one on the elites??

[@Servellion]

Glad you mentioned to stay out of grappling range. These bastards can heft a Fuel Rod Cannon with one arm. And their melee (H5) is actually pretty damaging. As for asphyxiation....not a bad idea, but it's been mentioned they can actually hold their breath for a decent amount of time. Might kill thm after the battle, but I'd want more immediate results so I don't die.

[@deleted-es3cs]

Oh can't wait to see what you have to say about warhammer.

[@RoanokeGaming]

itll be interesting for sure!

[@deleted-es3cs]

definitely

[@JoshEastham]

Placoderms the ancient armoured fish had a bone skeleton as well as a bone exoskeleton like the duncleosteous

[@RoanokeGaming]

very strange creatures to say the least!

[@halosoddworld1154]

Nice video! I would NEVER like to meet a grunt in real life after seeing this lol. Maybe a good suggestion is to analyse the lore behind the typhon. That would be pretty cool.

[@RoanokeGaming]

thanks bro! Typhon?? also yah, maybe drop kicking a grunt would work!

[@halosoddworld1154]

Roanoke Gaming oh sorry i meant the typhon from prey. Guess I forgot to mention the game they're included in ;)

[@RoanokeGaming]

Oh yah! I still need to play prey! but thats a good idea brah

[@halosoddworld1154]

Roanoke Gaming the great thing about the game is that it trusts the player with a ton of freedom. I haven't encountered any invissible or kill barier. I had the most fun just sneaking around the station, finding all the hidden spots and neuromods.

[@RoanokeGaming]

interesting! have you beaten it yet?

[@smellyfries1834]

Hello Roanoke Gaming! I've enjoyed watching your videos, they are a great mixture of lore, game play, and different topics. I've been subscribed for a while now, and i can't wait for your future videos, and I've got a question... Are you going to do a Lore video on the Giant Worm in Gears Of War 2? That's all, thanks.

[@RoanokeGaming]

I am glad you have been along for this ride! I could definitely do a video on it later on! I didnt know anyone wanted to see that haha

[@smellyfries1834]

Although yes it is the weirdest, and ugliest out of the bunch in Gears Of War 2, but it was a unique part of the game, and series, and i was wondering how it came about. Thanks for replying, and it's cool how you reply to a lot of your comments! I plan on being apart of this ride for a long time! (Hope it doesn't gross you out lol. Prehaps it would be good to put a disclaimer at the beginning of the video for those who have a weak stomach. )
