Hornet

In Halo 3, a UNSC aerial vehicle, also known as the AV-Attack VTOL. It can fly in any direction or hover, and it is equipped with two machine guns and two tracking missile launchers. Two passengers can sit on the side and offer additional fire or simply be transported. It is not as fast as the Covenant equivalent, the Banshee, but it is more maneuverable, more durable, and deadlier. A Plasma Pistol overcharged shot will cause the Hornet to fall to the ground.

"Hornets inbound!" -UNSC Marine on The Covenant
"You, with the splazer (Spartan Laser)! Take out that Hornet!" -multiplayer

Phantom

Type-52 Troop Carrier

The Phantom is the primary dropship used by the Covenant in Halo 2 and Halo 3. In Halo 2, troops are deployed through a gravity lift, and three plasma cannons defend the troops as they are being dropped. In Halo 3, troops primarily exit through side doors in a manner similar to the Spirit dropship of Halo: Combat Evolved. But it still looks roughly the same, and it still has the gravity lift. It is defended by one large plasma cannon and two plasma turrets.

UNSC Marine: EYES UP! PHANTOM INBOUND!

Another Marine: Roger that, got Grunts, Jackals, and an Elite.

slavering fangs

Fangs that slaver, i.e. the fangs of a grue. When it is mentioned on the Internet, it nearly always refers to the grues of Zork.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Oh, no! You have walked into the slavering fangs of a lurking grue!
