Unggoy (Earth-4343)

The Unggoy (Latin Monachus frigus), also known as Grunts to Humans, because of their role on the dissolved Covenant, are a sentient species of artrophods hailing from the cold planet of Balaho. Serving in the Swords of Sanghelios and many different factions, the Unggoy were once a part of the Covenant hegemony, whereupon they acted as cheap labor, and, in combat situations, as cannon fodder.

Small but physically enduring, the Unggoy are weak compared to the other species of the galaxy, but duo to their large numbers and ferocity, they are a force to fear.
