The '''Final Grunt''' (one of the [[Talking Grunts]], often called the "Jerk Store Grunt") is found cowering on the edge of a cliff right before you go down the ramp to leap into the frigate's hanger in the final level of [[Halo 3]]. When you're at the top of the ramp leading to the ''[[Forward Unto Dawn|Dawn's]]'' hangar, you should be under a rock arch. If you get out while under the arch and face the ''Dawn'', to your right is the [[Grunt]]. You should see him.

''"Hey, [[Demon]]! The jerk store called, and THEY'RE ALL OUT OF YOU! Poor you, stolen at the age of six and conscripted into the military, waaaaaah! ...Okay look, if you let me live, I got the [[Fist of Rukt]]. Look, I'll be the bottom. I'll polish your boots.

However, discovering the "Final Grunt" ''may'' leave the player unable to complete the end of the level and the game, because there will be no route available to reach the Forward Unto Dawn since the platforms ''may'' have broken if you aren't quick enough. Also note that if you drive up to the Grunt in a [[Warthog]] with the [[Arbiter]] at the gun, he will shoot and kill the Grunt before you can reach him. Make sure you keep the Grunt out of the Arbiter's line of sight, or the [[AI]] Arbiter will kill him. | However, discovering the "Final Grunt" ''may'' leave the player unable to complete the end of the level and the game, because there will be no route available to reach the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' since the platforms ''may'' have broken if you aren't quick enough.

*If you kill this Grunt, it will continue to make its speech. If the Arbiter kills it, it will make its speech. If you kill it while its saying its speech, it will continue.
