==Appearances==
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]] making him the only SpecOps Grunt in Halo: Combat Evolved who carries a Plasma Pistol. All others in the game carry [[Needlers]] or [[Fuel Rod Guns]].

Basing on his commentary, he could either mean he's helplessly waiting for evac, or that he is just delirious from combat. Most likely he's delirious because of the fact that he does not treat you like an enemy. After a while, the Thirsty Grunt will do a little dance and jump up and down.

The Thirsty Grunt, and the [[Final Grunt]] are the only enemy grunts that never shoot you. The [[Cowardly Grunt]] of [[Halo 2]] is actually an ally.

==Quotes==
*"Good thing that food nipple's waiting for me at the [[starship]], 'cause man, have I worked up a big grunty thirst!"
*"Bite me!" (This is a rare quote that happens if you do not kill him)
*"Crikey!" (This is a rare quote that happens if you do not kill him)
**Note: If you kill him before he says his dialogue he will sometimes re-animate to say it.
==Transcript==

"Good thing that food nipple's waiting for me at the [[starship]], 'cause man, have I worked up a big grunty thirst!"

==Trivia==
*On the old page for the Grunt water bottle at the [[Bungie]] store, the description mentions a "grunty thirst."
*If you pick up the grunt's plasma pistol and overcharge it, the green orb of energy will not appear, only the sparks do.
