The fan-named '''thirsty Grunt''' is a [[Special dialogue Grunt|special dialogue Grunt]] in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''s final level, [[The Maw]].
The fan-named '''Thirsty Grunt''' was an [[Unggoy]] soldier who served during the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. He appears in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' as an easter egg.


==Walkthrough==
==Appearances==
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.
In the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' 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.

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 will see many [[Flood]] corpses, and one [[Special Ops Grunts|SpecOps]] Unggoy 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!"'' ([http://images.wikia.com/halo/images/0/07/Thirsty_Grunt.ogg listen]) He will say nothing else and 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 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 [[Needler]]s or [[Fuel Rod Gun]]s.
 
The Thirsty Grunt, and the [[Final Grunt]] are the only enemy Grunts that [[Special Dialogue Unggoy|never shoot you]], while the [[Cowardly Grunt]] of ''[[Halo 2]]'' is actually an ally.
