In the [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] level, [[The Maw]], after the bridge where you see [[Foehammer]] get shot down, keep to your right. You will eventually see a small tunnel in the wall. Go down there and you find a tunnel to your right. You will see a lot of flood corpses, and one still-living [[Special Ops Grunts|SpecOps]] [[Grunt]]. He will stand there,  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 will stagger back, like meleeing a normal Grunt. He will not attack you, and treat you like an ally. He is also one of the few enemies in Halo: Combat Evolved who happens to have a fully loaded Plasma Pistol.

Basing on his commentary, he could either mean he's helplessly waiting for evac, or that he is just delirious from combat.

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.

* After a bit the Food Nipple Grunt will do a little dance.

*He has a fully loaded plasma pistol.
*If you kill him before he says his line he will re-animate and say it.
