Except not nearly as menacing, or, apparently, as destructive or hard to destroy. The Scarab was, in terms of gameplay, better in every single way. The only advantage the Lich has is that it flies.

Did you not notice the similarities between the Lich and the Scarabs particularly the halo 2 one. I assume they've replaced the scarab now.
It's essentially a flying Scarab.
That's because unlike Bungie, who presented scarabs boss fights in Halo 3 as sandbox enemies, 343 decided to present liches in scripted boss fights and ended up having a mediocre confrontation as a result.
