| The '''food nipple''' is an invention of the [[Covenant]] for feeding [[Unggoy]].
| | Grunts, having such a low place in Covenant society, lead an existence of servitude and feeding at these nipples is one of their few real pleasures. They contain a blue, bubbling paste that the Grunts find unappetizing but nutritious.<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]] pg. 54</ref> [[McKay]] describes the smell as "old socks wrapped in rotting cheese."<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 189</ref> |

| ==Background==
| | They have been mentioned many times, but their first description is found in the book [[Halo: Contact Harvest]] where they are described as free standing food-dispensers, with long tubes that end in a nipple the Grunts use to distribute the food into their gullet. <ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]] pg. 54</ref> |
| The Unggoy, having such a lowly place in Covenant society, lead an existence of servitude; feeding at these nipples is one of their very few real pleasures. Many Unggoy do not enjoy feeding from food nipples: however, they seem to put up with it because it is their main source of nutrition. They appear as a long tube with a nipple at one end to consume from. They contain a blue, bubbling paste that the Unggoy find unappetizing but nutritious.<ref name="pg54">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 54''</ref> [[Melissa McKay]] described the smell as "old socks wrapped in rotting cheese". <ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 189''</ref>

| *The food nipple is mentioned in the games on multiple occasions:
| | *In ''[[Halo 2]]'', [[Tartarus]] referred to food nipples as a "Teat". |
| **The [[Thirsty Grunt]] in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' says "Good thing the food nipple's waiting for me back at the star ship, 'cause man, have I worked up a big, Grunty, Thirst!"
| |
| **In ''[[Halo 2]]'' on the level ''[[The Oracle]]'', after the [[Unggoy|Grunt]] says he has a bad feeling about something, another Grunt says: "You ALWAYS have bad feeling! You had bad feeling about morning food nipple!"
| |
| **The Grunt who mentions [[Flipyap]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' also mentions that they "went to [[nipple academy]] together".
| |
| **Also in ''Halo 3'', if IWHBYD is turned on, a Grunt may say: "He flees! Thank the nipple...".
| |
| **In ''Halo Infinite'', a grunt can be heard reciting poetry which ends by saying "and by the nipple's saving grace, I didn't end up dead!"
