Type-29 Ultra-Heavy Site Excavator

"The Scarab is incomplete, but its head is operational. Its field of fire prevents any chance of retreat or extraction."

- A.I. Serina

The Type-29 Ultra-Heavy Site Excavator, also known as the Super Scarab, is a Covenant excavation machine.

Introduction
The Type-29 Scarab was used by the covenant as a dedicated excavator used only for the excavation buried Forerunner facilities. This Scarab variant was rarely encountered due having to be assembled on the site and because the Covenant only used it to incover momentous reliquaries.

Gameplay
There is a large, incomplete Scarab in the seventh Campaign mission of Halo Wars. It is substantially larger and more heavily armored than a standard Scarab, and it appears to be completely mechanical. It has an extremely high amount of hit points, able to sustain fire from up to nine MAC rounds on the Easy difficulty, and it cannot be boarded. In addition to its incomplete state (and immobility), it projects a beam of light that shows where its attention is currently focused.

Trivia

 * To slow down the speed of its searchlight, the player must destroy seven power nodes.
 * . It should be noted that the abandoned Scarab in the level Beachhead is also referred to as Super Scarab, though it seems to be a normal Scarab in every regard but title.
