The fan-named '''thirsty Grunt''' is a [[Special dialogue Grunt|special dialogue Grunt]] in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''s final level, [[The Maw]].
{{Cleanup}}


==Walkthrough==
In the [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] level, [[The Maw]], after the bridge where you see [[Foehammer]] go down and you are about to turn left; go into the tunnel shortcut to your right, and enter the tunnel to the right of that. You will see a lot of bodies, and one still-living [[Special Ops Grunts|SpecOps]] [[Grunt]]. He will sit there, trembling, until you approach. He will look up and say, "Good thing that [[Feeding Nipple|food-nipple's]] waiting for me at the starship 'cause man, have I worked up a big grunty thirst!" ([[Media:Thirsty Grunt.ogg|listen]]) He will say nothing else and will continue to sit there unless you melee him. In this case, he'll scream "Oww!"
At the escaping sequence in The Maw, after the bridge where you see [[Foe Hammer]] get shot down, keep to the right side of the tunnel. You will eventually see a small tunnel at the side of the wall. Go down there and you find a tunnel to your right. Make sure you enter the right entrance. The [[Unggoy]] will only spawn if you go in the first entrance to the passage. If you go around to the second entrance, he will not spawn. If you do this properly, you will see many [[Flood|combat forms]] corpses around one [[Special Operations Unggoy|SpecOps Grunt]] that is still alive. He will stand there until you approach, after which he will look up and initiate his dialogue.
Basing on his commentary, he could either meant he's helplessly waiting for evac, or that he is just delirious from too much combat.

After completing his dialogue, he will continue to sit there unless you [[melee]] him, at which he reacts like a normal Unggoy. He will not attack you and will simply treat you like an ally. He and the [[Final Grunt]] are the only enemy Grunts that never shoot you, while the [[Cowardly Grunt]] of ''[[Halo 2]]'' is registered as an ally, instead.


He is one of the few enemies in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' who happens to have a fully loaded [[Type-25 plasma pistol|Plasma Pistol]] and the only Special Operations Unggoy who has a Plasma Pistol, instead of a [[Type-33 needler|Needler]] or a {{Pattern|Zasqi|fuel rod gun}}. If the player picks up his Plasma Pistol and overcharges it, the green orb of energy will not appear, only the sparks will.
You can also kill him. His corpse will then rise into a standing position, and he will talk anyway if you killed him before he says his line.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*On the old page for the Grunt water bottle at the [[Bungie]] store, the description mentions a "grunty thirst."
*On the page for the [http://www.bungiestore.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=15&idproduct=250 Grunt water bottle] at the [[Bungie]] store, the description mentions a "grunty thirst." (This page no longer exists; however, it will still take you to the Bungie Store if you wish to check that out).
*On [[2022|September 9, 2022]], it was revealed during [[The Yappening (Halo Infinite)|The Yappening]] event in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' that the Thirsty Grunt was [[Flipflop]].
*He is the only [[SpecOps Grunt]] in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] who carries a [[Plasma Pistol]], as all others in the game carry [[Needler]]s or [[Fuel Rod Gun]]s.
*He (apart from [[343 Guilty Spark]]) is the only enemy in the game that doesn't shoot you.
