== Cylindrical-backed grunt: Pre-Halo? ==
I was skimming my old copy of 'the art of Halo' when i found a cylindrical-backed grunt in the grunt concept art. Seeing as TaoH came out ~2 years before the Graphic novel, wouldn't this technically be their first appearance?

==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"
 
 
 
lol, am i the only one here that has heard a grunt scream 'Fuck you!' and chucked a grenade at me? it was definitely 'fuck you', i replayed it in theater 5 times. [[User talk:Lunar ankou2|Lunar ankou2]] 05:33, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
 
==Hilarious Line==
 
On Sierra 117, after being killed by an Unggoy, I heard one of them start to sing "We are the champions!". I laughed so hard I almost hurt myself. By the way, I had the IWHBYD skull on.

Aliens breathing other gases is ''not ''sci-fi. Chances are that aliens in our universe breathe a variety of gases. We are just used to the idea of breathing oxygen. But I do agree with that theory. I bet that was the original idea, and then the joke just got old. - [[User: Echo 1 | Echoes are all you hear... ]] 22:03, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

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.
[[User:Covenant Ghost|Covenant Ghost]] 21:36, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 
Well ultra grunts might be the special operations commander like the ultra elites are. The ultra grunt might be light the major grunt for special operations.
[[User:DilaBagomee|DilaBagomee]] 14:50, 08 July 2008
 
Grunts are ranked like this. Minor (tan), Major (Red), Heavy (green), SpecOps (Black), and Ultra (silver-white). I bet Ultra is about the same rank as a Brute and Elite minor. - [[User: Echo 1 | Echoes are all you hear... ]] 22:06, June 16, 2010 (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.

*As far as I know, that figure is for Balaho, which isn't a very hospitable world. I'd imagine that the majority of the Unggoy population actually lives on other worlds, or space habitats. And remember also, that the Covenant maintain strict quotias on Unggoy breeding rates to prevent another [[unggoy Rebellion]] from occuring. --'''[[CoH|<font color=purple>Councillor</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=blue>Specops306</font>]]''' - '''''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Kora</font>]] [[userWiki:Specops306|<font color=purple>'Morhek</font>]]''''' 02:18, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 
*You know since most grunts were on High Charity when it was taken by flood the population could have gone down dramaticly.
 
==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.
 
[[User:Gruntyking117|Gruntyking117]] 08:19, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 
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.

Yeah same here I shot one's tank off in [[The Storm (Level)|The Storm]] and the grunt kept on walking til I killed him like 10 second later, didn't even flinch. Bungie probably just didn't design have a graphic for them suffocating. [[User:Spartansniper450|Spartansniper450]]
 
Actually my friend has sniped of their respirators and they started to choke,and then fell over dead.I don`t think that it is the tank so much as the mask because they probably have backup reserves of methane but if their mask is gone then they are forced to breathe air.
 
== 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]]
 
I hated the Round-Tops, as I call them, I always killed them and not the others. [[User:VanFlyhight|VanFlyhight]] 19:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 
Yeah, they say that the curl-backs might have had something to do with gender, but they had it figured out by Halo 2.[[User:Spartansniper450|Spartansniper450]]
 
I think the different shapes of the tanks and kinds of masks may possibly be due to either rank or a choice that grunt made on what to bring into a combat situation. Also the curlbacks may be for rolling out of the halo ce dropships.
 
The point is part of the mask. But I do believe that Curlbacks in CE are higher in rank, as they have a tendency to fight longer and flee less. - [[User: Echo 1 | Echoes are all you hear... ]] 22:10, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 
I thought a pointed mask was a higher rank and a curlback was a lower one, but I'm not sure. Anyways, how do you know?

== 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?

I find it all too believable. I mean, the males we see in the games don't seem too bright. Obviously, their females compensate...

I thought it was more of a reference to their child-like voices. Can you imagine a Grunt "I Want my Mommmy." Anyways I know you wern't serious Subtank but [[humans|we]] have a patriarchal society and Females and Males are equal when it comes to intelligence.

==viciousness==
 
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)
 
Maybe they were terrified into agression by the brutes like an injured animal, or maybe brutes put something in the tanks. (Grunts on roids!!!!LOL)[[User:Spec-op sniper058|Spec-op sniper058]] 00:00, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

have told them to kill humans because [[Truth]] told all covenant species that humans were [[Heretics]]. Yayap the grunt 227

I know that. UNSC was probably changed the kilo value. I cannot explain it in other way. I mean, do you know what a ''''TON'''' is? Just try to lift 50 kilos. It is impossible for a grunt to weigh 118 kilos...[[User:Odysseas-spartan-53|Odysseas]]-[[User talk:Odysseas-spartan-53|spartan]]-53 11:31, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 
101 pounds would be 45 and half kilograms and the cheif only wieghs half a ton. A (presumably) very muscular 6'8" man would come to about 90 to 110 kilograms leaving the armour to be in the area of 400 kilos
 
Master cheif weigh 136 kilograms withouth his armor acording to books.And why would not a grunt weight 118 kilos?They are around 150 centimeters long and is very muscular by nature as acording to first strike a marine wasent able to lift a fuel rod gun and grunts are seen running with it in one arm like it would weight no more than a phone and it is maybe meaning when they have their armor on they weight 118 kiograms

Loyalist grunts are MUCH more common in Halo 3, infact the only time I saw a Seperatist Grunt in Halo 3 was at a distance on a bridge during the level The Ark. By the time I got there I was just in time to se him turn a corner. When I followed him he was facing a wal, not moving a bit. My target didn't change colour but whjen I saw him he was throwing plasma grenades at Brues. I tried pushing him back into the level but he wouldn't budge. He stayed COMPLETELY still. Can I put this glitch on the page?
 
Same thing happened on the Ark with me. A Grunt even ran over enemies for me with a Ghost and stayed completely still when they all died. My marines didn't shoot him either.--'''<span style="background:Black;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%">[[User:Shade Link|<font color="Blue">Shade</font>]]</span>''' 23:07, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Grunts have straight and curlback helmets. Is there some kind of meaning to this? I always thought it indicated their gender. {{Arby116Sig}}
 
I myself in particular find such a thing as the above text unlikely. My theory is that it's due to rank and/or optional equiptment that particular indevidual chose to bring into combat.

Ok, I heard that breath methane and isnt methane explosive? or flammable so i played the level The Covenant and got some incindieary grenades from a brute and kept it all through the level until the ending were you join forces with the flood, so i bashed the grunts back pyramid thing and it was still alive so i threw the flamy grenade at it and guess WHAT!!!!.....................It didnt work!!

== Split off the Sucide Grunts ==
 
I propose that the Suicide Grunts section be split off into an article of its own. In Halo Wars they are completely different from normal Grunts. Firstly they are a special forces unit, secondly they are perverted version of normal Grunts and finally they carry methane reserve tanks already. Do you oppose or support splitting Suicide Grunts off into a new article? [[User talk:Incendiary|Incendiary]] 09:39, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 
I oppose. This section is not talking about different grunt ranks. It is a page about the grunt RACE a.k.a Unggoy. Suicide grunts are still Unggoy, aren't they. That's like splitting off honour guards from the Sangheilli section. [[User:K9colin|K9colin]]

I have to agree too that Grunts are very strong when it comes to strength but they are most likely to scared to carry large guns because of their low rank and fear that they will be killed by their Brute captian. Brutes are weak without their armor; same with elites. Poplutation wise they are massive in numbers. I would esamate about 70 billion because of the number of young they have at a time as well as how much they have their young. Just think about it. Each pair of Unggoys having 20-50 young and then those having 20-50 young?! That is a lot of Grunts.

I think the Bestiarum only counted the population ''on the homeworlds'' of each race. We know that Balaho is a smaller planet than Earth and that it underwent an environmental catastrophe in the past, so it could not support a very large population. But on other Covenant worlds I think the Grunts must number into the tens of billions. I mean, the human population is confirmed to be around 60 billion, so it would make sense that the Covenant races would not be massively outnumbered. Especially the cannon fodder.

This is a call for deletion! Or at least editing. I say this because Bungie refers to the white armored Grunts seen in Halo 3 as SpecOps Grunts.

:It shouldn't be up in the air. They're clearly an entirely different species. The Unggoy in all previous Halo games had chitinous exoskeletons, like arthropods. The Grunts in Halo 4 have rough skin with scutes. It is literally impossible for them to be members of the same species. This isn't a matter of two subspecies, one with dense feathers and a more pronounced beak and one with scutes and ornamental feathers. This is a matter of two totally separate species with completely different skeletal structures, one with a full chitinous exoskeleton and one with osteoderms. Compare the Halo Reach, Halo 4, and Halo 5 Grunts. The Halo Reach and 5 Grunts clearly have articulated exoskeletons like arthropods, whereas the Halo 4 Grunts are more like reptiles. This was an attempted retcon/redesign of the species, and I'm just glad that 343i seems to have returned to Bungie's original vision for the Unggoy and given the Halo 5 ones exoskeletons, if the image in this article is accurate. --[[User talk:Eipok Kruden|Eipok Kruden]] 05:21, 21 June, 2015 (PDT)

Did anyone else notice the glowing grunts in the five minute firefight that was set on Corvette. <span style="font-family: Halo3 ; Font-size: 135%; color:#800002;">FATGUNN</span> 02:05, August 28, 2010 (UTC)


Guys, dontcha think we should change the main picture of the Minor Grunt to a Minor Grunt from HCEA? Like, I think it's more detailed that way.
== Erroneous Height ==


== Main image. ==
The stats section states that a Grunt is 5'6 tall, and weighs well over 100kg. [http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline10/blamestosh/happy_halo3_78416926_Full.jpg Errmmm... No.] Regardless of the fact that it is a 'Blame Stosh' picture from the BWU, it still shows a grunt about half the size of a civilian human. That civilian is not 12 feet tall, nor is the grunt best part of 6. Grunts, going by that picture are around 3 feet tall. Where the hell did this "5'6" figure come from? Being 3ft tall, they will not be over 100kg either.[[User talk:Thebigyeash|Thebigyeash]] 14:22, September 6, 2010 (UTC)


Is there any particular reason why the Infinite Grunt hasn’t replaced the Halo 2 Anniversary Grunt in the main image section? It seems to me like it’s supposed to be the same type of Grunt. There is already a render being used on the Unggoy Conscript page that can be used. [[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] ([[User talk:ArchedThunder|talk]]) 04:19, March 13, 2022 (EDT)
:The image you linked is using perspectives to achieve that shot; the Grunt is farther while the civilian is closest to the camera. Also, the Halo Encyclopedia confirmed this.
