==Appearances==
In the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' level, [[The Maw (Level)|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 in the side of the wall. Go down there and you find a tunnel to your right. 

You will see many Flood corpses, and one [[Special Ops Grunts|SpecOps]] [[Grunt]] that is still alive. He will stand there until you approach, after which he will look up and say, ''"Good thing that [[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, or he will die. He will not attack you and will simply 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]].

Note that he is the only SpecOps Grunt in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' who carries a Plasma Pistol. All others in the game carry [[Needlers]] or [[Fuel Rod Guns]].

The Thirsty Grunt, and the [[Final Grunt]] are the only enemy Grunts that [[Talking Grunts|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.

==Trivia==
*This [[Grunt]] is one of the three [[Talking Grunts]], the other two being the [[Final Grunt]] and the [[Cowardly Grunt]].
*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. 
*Of all three of the talking Grunts, this Grunt seems to be the most highly ranked Grunt.
