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 SpecOps Grunt. He will stand there, 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 will stagger back, like meleeing a normal Grunt or die. 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.
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.
Based 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.
