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 live 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!" ([[Media:Thirsty Grunt.ogg|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 just he is just delirious for 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

 * He is the only enemy in the game that doesn't shoot you.
 * He is not Yayap.It's clear in the book he drove out of there in a Ghost long before the Chief set the reactors to blow.
 * There are a bunch of dead Flood forms in the corridor. He MAY be the only survivior of the skirmish.
