What do you think those little yellow bugs in gravemind are? You know, theres in the prison block? My best guess is either there flood, or a secret bungie super weapon. post your thoughts below.
Here is a video of what they look like, thanks to Grumpy1 for making this vid for me.

Yellow space Roaches!

Good topic, I think I'll film it in case anyone asks, if you don't mind. You could drag and drop into your OP too if you want.

If they are related to Flood somehow, then what are the sucky things. Also, if I remember right, they all go into a door. Maybe I should BAW through that door and see where they go. I'll ask xlax007 first, I bet he has film on those things and he invented BAW'ing.

If you want to film it you can, or I can film it and upload it to filefront and you can upload it to your page if you want.

Family Guy's on so I'll film in a little bit.

Yeah, that goes without saying with me. I have enough vids with my name on it so I enjoy giving credit to others for ideas, suggestions and such.

The thing is I don't own a camera, and I have no idea how to actually download the video from you.

Those dang critters are more detailed than I had remembered. It's a better vid than I thought it would be.

Perhaps, Perhaps... or maybe there THE ESCAPED SPECIMENS OF THE FLOOD THE COVENANT TOOK AND THEN THE FLOOD INFECTED SOME SPACE ROACHES AND NOW THEY MADE A SUPER BREED OF ROACH THAT CAN SURVIVE ATOMIC EXPLOSIONS, SIT IN THE VACCUM OF SPACE AND EAT FLESH!

  • 02.13.2011 1:01 AM PDT

That last one was turned away from me. I'm thinking that if I can get a good scope-look at the front of one with a beam rifle we might see a face. Heh heh, one of the Bungie people or maybe a clue to TUE.

Oh, well from that point of view it looks like chewbacca from star wars, and that fat white man I saw in ghostbusters. Its actually an interesting subject once you think about it

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

I always figured those yellow bug creatures to be the Covenant's version of the cockroach.

Good one JB, you may be right. Some programmer took the time to write them into the game so he/they had to have a reason and it doesn't appear to be part of any H2 storyline. It looks like something you would see using a biology class microscope.

Too bad there's not some way to ask Bungie people about weird little things in H2 and get an answer.

  • 02.13.2011 10:50 AM PDT

Its a prison block. Theyre space cockroaches.

You got a really good shot at 1:30. I really have no clue what those things could be, but they look like they'd feel gross if you touched them. D:
As someone else said, they might just be the covenant's version of a cockroach.

It took me a while, but I may have found more information on the insects.

Covenant Pests
They might be Scrub Grubs, which are small insects that feed on the machinery, and are often found on Covenant ships as pests.

  • 02.13.2011 11:35 AM PDT

Heh, Scrub Grub is a great name for them. I tried to smash them but meleeing didn't do anything so I don't know about that liquid stuff. Maybe I'm just lousy at melee.

There should be a Beam rifle somewhere on GM, I might look later to see what the front of them look like while scoped in.

Hmmmm. Very good question as to their origin. The simple answer might be that they are some sort of Covie bug or pest, personally I feel that they are a preview of the upcoming games. They are soon to be your enemy and the MC will become a supersized exterminator, advertising on Covie websites for business since they are all over the place! Can't wait to see what a Fuel Rod Cannon does to them :)
