==Wanted to Share This== | |||
Came across something hilarious the other day when I was playing Halo 3 campaign. So, I was playing Sierra 117, and I see a grunt ahead of me. He lights a plasma grenade, and throws it at me. While he is doing this, he shouts "SUCK IT HERETIC!!!" I am the only person who finds this funny? Because it was awesome. [[User:Covenant Ghost|Covenant Ghost]] 02:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC) | |||
ive heard grunts say that heaps of times. | |||
thugh just now i heard one say (im tryna see it suffocate) "IMA POP OPEN A CAN OF WHOOP-ASS" and a few minutes after it said "SUCK CRAP LIKE A RAT" | |||
=="they breathe methane rather than oxygen."== | |||
This must be an in-joke that they are a race of servile brown-nosers. Methane being a major component of flatulence. Saying grunts are "fart-whiffers" or the like. [[User:67.5.157.0|67.5.157.0]] 04:13, 9 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
no...not at all. [[User:Kap2310|Kap2310]] 03:03, 14 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
Uh... no, it's canon. They breathe methane gas, but the atmospheric kind. [[User:Evil Kiwi|Evil Kiwi]] 11:21, 30 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
I've considered it, but I think it's more a scifi concept of aliens breathing a different gas. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="#000000">Dragon<font color="#FF0000">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="#000000">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 18:41, 30 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
But it could also be a joke at the same time. It could serve both purposes, you know. But I suppose you only have to think of it that way if you want. Anyway, that's what the first guy was saying. It could be a joke as well as a fact in the Halo universe. <br /> --[[User:Jaeryd|Jaeryd]] 17:11, 26 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
== Special Operations Commander?? == | |||
Is this rank even exist? And did it even appears in Halo 2? We need proof, a picture or something........ | |||
== Re: Spec Ops Grunts == | |||
Well, there is such a thing as a special ops. grunt rank, there's an article on that. But, seeing as how grunts are a subordinate race in the Covenant, they are usually commanded by elites and brutes, although some grunts like Yayap did command grunt forces. Not entirely sure on that one. If there is such a thing, then they certainly could not command anything other than their own race and jackals. | |||

== | ==Swearing Grunts== | ||
Maybe I'm interpreting what they say the wrong way, but have you guys ever played a Halo CE level and had a grunt shout "F*ck You!" while you are fighting them? | |||
:No, the grunts in Halo 1 say "Hate you!" I know the line you're referring to. --<b>[[User:ED|<font color="black">E</font>]][[User talk:ED|<font color="black">D</font>]][[Image:ArmyROTC.gif|15px]]</b> 08:48, 26 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

== | ==Grunt population== | ||
In the bonus dvd of Halo 3 legendary edition it is said that grunt population is estimated to be about | |||
4 hundred million(or something like that).That is a relatively small number,compared with | |||
the Brutes population for instance ,which is estimated to be more than 12 billion.I don't think that this makes any sense given the fact that the Grunts are the base of the Covenant military force (in the game we encounter at least 3 grunts for every single Elite or Brute we have to eliminate).So one could suppose that their numbers should be greater. [[User:Ni9lson|Ni9lson]] 14:08, 30 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
* You gotta remember, most Grunts likely live as slaves, with very, very few of them seeing much time on their homeworld. My guess is that most living Grunts are in service(military, labor), while less amounts of other species are in military/labor roles. | |||

==Grunt Strength/Physical Capabilites== | |||
Right now, it says Grunts are a relatively weak species, but I have to disagree. Strength wise, it would seem they are stronger than even Humans. Look at how they carry Fuel Rod Cannons and the occasional Plasma Cannon(best seen on the Covenant, they don't use it like the Chieftains do, just run around scared) in Halo 3-with one arm. In Halo 2, I think they carry it with two. Marines carry it with two, Elites carry it with one. The novel described a situation where a Marine couldn't lift the FRC, although it doesn't make much sense when your average Marine in Halo 2/3 can. Brutes carry it with two, but likely for better aim. It shouldn't be that surprising, as even smaller apes in real life like the chimpanzees have much more arm strength than that of a human. Look it up. I think, however, Grunts may be too scared to use their strength or may not know their advantage over humans in this area, and are probably not as resilient as your average human(the games support this theory), or it could be that the methane suits hinder them quite a bit speed/strength/dexterity wise, like miniature Darth Vaders or something. It could also be due to a lack of training, Grunts are more numerous than the other species and they're likely at the bottom of the training list because it might be a waste of resources to train them over Elites. | |||
I'm starting to ramble, just getting my two cents in. | |||

:The | I agree with you, another source comes from Halo: The Flood when a few grunts attack the Chief and almost drop a plasma 'nade in his suit. It was a close call for the Chief and shows that they are tough little critters and shouldn't be underestimated just because of their size.-- [[User:Joshua 029|Joshua 029]] 14:36, 2 February 2008 (UTC) | ||
You know, i've never thought of that. Now, i have a new found respect for the grunts. Imagine what thy could have done on their home planet![[PsychoThunder]] | |||
== | Grunts lack strength and bravery mentally, at least, that's how i see it. That's why they need a leader in battle and why they cower when alone in battle. Heretic grunts don't cower, most likely because they realise their mental superiority over the Covenant grunts, and they also realise they are facing opposition far greater in size than they are, so their courage and bravery is much greater.

==Exploding Grunts== | |||
Okay, under "Combating Grunts" is stays "In Halo 3, an attack will sometimes blow off the flimsy cover of a Grunt's methane tank, and may rupture the tank inside. The respirator can also be knocked off. This is fatal after a certain amount of time, but they will continue to fight. A leakage of methane gas can turn a situation perilous in the presence of a flame." On what level would you find both grunts, and something you could use to start a fire? In my experience, youre only given flamethrowers and firebomb gernades on levels with the flood. [[User:Zombee|Zombee]] 04:39, 1 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
:Well in [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], grunt gas tanks blow up like a grenade when ruptured. But that wouldn't be balanced, so in the game you just knock them off. However, I personally have never seen a Grunt die of suffocation.

== | == grunt heads == | ||
what I find most perplexing is the fact that in halo ce, some grunts have pointed heads and some have more rounded heads. in halo two and three, they took out the pointy headed grunts. whats with that? | |||
Yeah, and also, in Halo CE, there were grunts how had gas tanks that had rounded tips, but not in any other games. [[PsychoThunder]] | |||
== Matriarchal == | |||
Does anyone find it wierd that in the Bestiarium, it says that Grunts have a matriarchal society? It never once mentions this in any of the books. Could this perhaps be a typo? (After all, all it takes would be the change of one letter to change it to patriarchal) [[Image:Haloforgheisonvv4.gif|35px]] [[User:Stryker117|<span style="color:DarkBlue"><b>Stryker</b></span>]][[User talk:Stryker117|<span style="color:DarkBlue"><b>117</b></span>]][[Image:UNSCoH Dingo without letters.PNG|30px]] 02:01, 3 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
I find it all too believable. I mean, the males we see in the games don't seem too bright. Obviously, their females compensate...

== Unusually....vicious == | |||
I have read a few articles about Grunts from Halo: Contact Harvest and have noticed that they seem to be unusually vicious in that book. I mean, one grunt tore a man's stomach apart for no apparent reason and another tried to bite into a man's neck. I wonder why these grunts are so aggressive, while the grunts in the games are quite cowardly. They seem to be a bit unpredictable, these grunts. | |||
I'm just saying. :-) [[User:Sor|Sor]] 11:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC) |
