Thirsty Grunt

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 SpecOps Grunt. He will sit there, trembling, until you approach. 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!" (listen) He will say nothing else and will continue to sit there unless you melee him. In this case, he'll scream "Oww!" Basing on his commentary, he could either meant he's helplessly waiting for evac, or that he is just delirious from too much 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.

Trivia

On the page for the 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).
He is the only SpecOps Grunt in Halo: Combat Evolved who carries a Plasma Pistol, as all others in the game carry Needlers or Fuel Rod Guns.
He (apart from 343 Guilty Spark) is the only enemy in the game that doesn't shoot you.
