They may act crazy, but their "war" in Battle Creek shows that they're actually very effective fighters.

## **Trivia**

* The Zealots theme are Reveille and Noobs Rush In.
* The Zealots were created by Burnie Burns as a parody of stereotypical *Halo* gamers and multiplayer variants. In their first appearance in Season 3, they were presented as actual online players, with one Red Grunt declaring he had to "take out the trash" and would be right back. They were quickly rewritten into actual characters, however, when the Red Zealot appeared to Doc/O'Malley and Lopez, and later made part of the Freelancer Simulation troopers.
* Zealots all wear the same armor, the only differences being either red or blue colors.
	+ The Zealots wear Green Visors as of Season 15.
* It's currently unknown how or why the Zealots revive upon hearing *Reveille,*which originally represented online Halo matches ending and starting. This gag has never been used past their first appearance and may have been discarded from the narrative.
* Every Grunt's voice is raised in pitch after lines are recorded to create an obnoxious voice. This is done to resemble the stereotypical "rowdy and offensive" Halo gamer.
* The Zealots appear in the special award show video The Best Red vs. Blue DVD Ever. Of All Time. as viewers of the event.
* Xbox marketplace offers a RvB Camping T-shirt displaying the phrase, "*It's a legitimate strategy!*" for Xbox avatars as a tribute to the Zealots.
