Halo: Reach introduces a new range of armor for Grunts, including the distinctive full helmet and methane tank of the Grunt Ultra rank. Figure features removable helmet, gas mask, and backpack and comes with Plasma Pistol and Plasma Grenades.


The Grunt Ultra is the highest Unggoy rank seen so far in the Covenant military. Like Sangheili Ultras, Grunts Ultras wear distinct white/pearl-like armor.
Grunts Ultras can sometimes be seen commanding groups of lower class Grunts in battle, and are even seen leading black-armored Special Operations Grunts into combat, and it is rare for the player encounter them when playing on lower difficulties, such as Easy or Normal (without the Thunderstorm Skull activated).


Unlike Elite Ultras, Grunt Ultras do not appear to have any immunity with their command. It is just as likely that two or three will be encountered leading a small group of Grunts, yet the Elites, (or Brutes in the Loyalists) are ultimately in complete command; similar to the way that even minor Prophets outrank Sangheili Ship Masters, Grunt Ultras are inferior in rank to even Elite Minors.


These Grunts, like their lower-ranking cousins, appear in groups. They are very intelligent, making as few tactical errors as Major Domo Elites. They usually display even more bravery in combat than a SpecOps unit, and are more often used for specialized attacks, rather than generic millitary operations.
