The '''Final Grunt''' (one of the [[Talking Grunts]], often called the "Jerk Store Grunt") is found cowering on the edge of a cliff right before you go down the ramp to leap into the frigate's hanger in the final level of [[Halo 3]]. When you're at the top of the ramp leading to the ''[[Foward Unto Dawn|Dawn's]]'' hangar, you should be under a rock arch. If you get out while under the arch and face the ''Dawn'', to your right is the [[Grunt]]. You should see him. If the player approaches him, he will say:

''"Hey, [[Demon]]! The jerk store called, and they're all out of you! Poor you, stolen at the age of six and conscripted into the military, waaaaaah! ...Okay look, if you let me live, I got the [[Fist of Rukt]]. Look, I'll be the bomb. I'll polish your boots. I'll polish your helmet! It's the gas, haha! When I'm on the gas, I don't know what I'm doing half the time!"''

However, discovering the "Final Grunt" ''may'' leave the player unable to complete the end of the level and the game, because there will be no route available to reach the [[Forward Unto Dawn]] since the platforms ''may'' have broken if you aren't quick enough.  Also note that if you drive up to the [[Grunt]] in a [[Warthog]] with the [[Arbiter]] at the gun, he will shoot and kill the [[Grunt]] before you can reach him. Make sure you keep the [[Grunt]] out of the [[Arbiter]]'s line of sight, or the [[AI]] [[Arbiter]] will kill him.

==Trivia==
*The Final [[Grunt]] is also known as "The Jerk Store Grunt".
*The "Jerk Store" joke is a reference to a joke on the American sitcom ''Seinfeld''.
*If you kill this Grunt, it will continue to make its speech. If the Arbiter kills it, it will make its speech. If you kill it while its saying its speech, it will continue. In other words, as long as you come near the Grunt, it will say its speech. This is a tested and proven theory.
*This easter egg has a striking relationship with the last level of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. In the last level, [[The Maw (Level)|The Maw]], it is possible to find another talking [[Grunt]] that won't attack, the [[Thirsty Grunt]].  
*"The gas" might actually refers to the methane gas that the Grunts breathe. However this would be unlikely, as they breath it as we breath oxygen. It is more likely he was running out/had run out of methane, and was breathing oxygen and feeling lightheaded.
*Another explanation could be "the gas" refers to a type of gas that the [[Brutes]] possibly added to the [[Grunt]]s' methane, in order to increase their aggression, as is referenced by a marine on the level [[Sierra 117]]. 
*While playing the meta-game if you drive close enough for the [[Arbiter]] (or a co-op teammate) to shoot and kill him you will not gain the points earned for killing this [[Grunt]]. The same goes for other "ambient" [[AI]]s e.g. Wounded Marines, crying Marines, Technicians, etc.    
*With the [[IWHBYD]] (I Would Have Been Your Daddy) skull on you can hear normal grunts say this on other levels.
*Also, if you play on [[Co-op]], the [[Grunt]] can talk to the [[Arbiter]], too.
*The speech refers to when [[John 117]] was taken and became a [[Spartan]]. Read about this in [[The Fall of Reach]] novel.
*The Final Grunt is the last Covenant foe you meet in Halo 3.
*"The gas" might be referring to [[Benzene]] or the [[Methane]] Gas that Unngoy breath in to survive in environments unlike [[Balaho]]'s.
*Even if only [[The Arbiter]] goes up to they grunt, he/she will still call him Demon, even if the Chief is not there.
*On rare occasions, after killing the Final [[Grunt]], the player will die for no apparent reason.
