Following [[Yapyap]]'s [[Yapyap's rebellion|rebellion]] against [[Atriox]], several [[Jiralhanae]] had been captured by Yapyap and his rebellion and assigned an [[Unggoy]] [[Unggoy Rider|master]] to '''ride''' them into battle.{{Ref/Game|Id=PL|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Grunt Riders}}

==Overview==
Having been captured by Yapyap's forces, Jiralhanae are often employed by the diminutive Unggoy for use as battle-mounts. The Jiralhanae are instructed to punch things while the Unggoy throw [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenades]]. Some Jiralhanae are offered upgraded [[Plasma gloves|plasma glove]]s to deal additional damage against enemy forces, though many brutes also strike back against more overly bossy Unggoy.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}

==Equipment==
Due to them being captured by [[Yapyap]], Jiralhanae Riders do not have any armor that are worn by [[Banished]] [[Jiralhanae]] warriors, they hardly wear any armor other than wearing "hexagon" armor by their left shoulder, and they have a unique helmet they commonly wear, they have a seat attached to their backs in order to be controlled by an [[Unggoy Rider]].

Jiralhanae Riders are exclusive to Yapyap the Destroyer and can be built at [[Raid Camp]]s in place of [[Jiralhanae Jumper]]s. Grunt Riders perform well against structures, okay against infantry, poorly against vehicles, and cannot attack aircraft except the Grunt itself dealing little-to-no damage. In [[Blitz]] Grunt riders cost 50 energy. Grunt Riders typically outperform both Jump pack Brutes and [[Goliath]]s in engagements.
