Elite Maulers were encountered numerous times by Kilo Squad in Halvo Bay and the areas around it such as Onyx Point and Seahorse Hills.
Evacuation of Ilima
Two Mauler Elites took part in the Battle of Ilima. They escorted General RAAM through the city, using their explosive flails and deflective Boomshields to deadly effect. When Zeta-Six was trying to find a new route back to the Orphanage, the Maulers engaged them with the assistance of many Locust. But their attempts were utterly futile against Zeta-Six and died at their hands.
