The '''final Grunt''', also referred to as the '''jerk store Grunt''' or '''Seinfeld Grunt''', is a [[Special dialogue Grunt|special dialogue Grunt]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''s final level, [[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]].
The '''Final Grunt''' is one of the [[Talking Grunts]].


==Walkthrough==
==Description==
Being the only [[Covenant]] individual found on this level, Final [[Unggoy|Grunt]] is found cowering on the edge of a cliff right before the player goes down the ramp to leap into {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}'s hangar. To find this Grunt, turn the vehicle slowly to the right, and you can spot it at the end of the narrow pathway. To hear its dialogue, make sure your [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]]'s chaingun out of range, as in [[single player]] the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] will kill him, preventing you from hearing the quote. If the final Grunt is killed while saying his dialogue, his dead body will carry on speaking. If he is knocked off the edge, however; the dialogue will stop. Discovering the final Grunt ''may'' leave the player unable to complete the end of the level as the platforms would have broken apart, thus rendering no possible route available to reach ''Forward Unto Dawn''.

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


With the [[I Would Have Been Your Daddy]] [[Skull]] activated, final Grunt's quotes can also be heard in the rest of the game, usually in [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]], [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]] and [[Sierra 117]].
''"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 bottom. 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 (Character)|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==
==Trivia==
*The "jerk store" joke is a reference to a joke on the American sitcom ''[[Wikipedia:Seinfeld|Seinfeld]]'', in which George, one of the four main characters, tries, and fails, to make a witty comeback at a co-worker.
*The Final Grunt, is also known as "The Jerk Store Grunt" or the "Seinfeld Grunt".
*The "gas" mentioned by the Grunt may be a form of [[Infusion]], a recreational drug the Unggoy mix with their methane supplies.
*The "Jerk Store" joke is a reference to a joke on the American sitcom ''Seinfeld'' in which George, one of the four main characters, tries to make a witty comeback at fellow co-worker.
*On [[2022|September 15, 2022]], it was revealed during [[The Yappening (Halo Infinite)|The Yappening]] event in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' that the Final Grunt was [[Flipflop]].
*If you kill this Grunt, it will continue to make its speech. If the Arbiter kills it, it will not 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 [[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 refer to the [[methane]] gas that the Grunts breathe. However this would be unlikely, as they breathe it as we breathe [[oxygen]]. It is more likely he was running out/had run out of methane, and was breathing oxygen and feeling light-headed. Alternatively, it could reference what the marine said in [[Sierra 117 (Level)]], something about the Brutes putting something in the Grunts' tanks.
*A third explanation could be that "the gas" is [[benzene]], referred to by [[Kwassass]] from [[Ghosts Of Onyx]] as "lovely lung gold".
*With the [[IWHBYD]] [[skull]] is on, you can hear normal Grunts say this on other levels, usually [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]] or [[The Ark]] after you kill another nearby grunt.
*Even if only the Arbiter goes up to the Grunt, he will still call him Demon, even if the [[Master Chief|Chief]] is not there.
*On the back wall of [[Valhalla]], there is a shadow of a Grunt holding a large [[Gravity Hammer]] on the edge of a cliff. This may be a reference to the Jerk Store Grunt.
*The Grunt is referring to when the Chief was taken from his home to join the [[UNSC]] when he says "stolen at the age of six and conscripted into the military"
*On single player, if you drive a little past the rocks the grunt is behind and stop, the  Arbiter will shoot him.
