Final Grunt

The Final Grunt is found cowering on the edge of a cliff right before you have to leap into Forward Unto Dawn's hanger in the final level of Halo 3, Halo. Simply stop the warthog before going off the ramp into the ship. Then, get out and turn around and face left. You should see him. Jump to him. If the player approaches him, he will say

"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, nyuuugh! Okay look, you let me live, I got the Fist of Rukt. I'll be the bottom. I'll polish your boots. I'll polish your helmet! It's the gas, haha! When I'm on the gas, I don't know what I'm doing half the time!"

It is also possible to hear a grunt say this on the first playable level, Sierra 117.

However, discovering the "Final Grunt" leaves the player unable to complete the end of the level (and the game), because there will be no route to the end since the platforms will have fallen. 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!

Trivia

 * The "Jerk Store" joke is a reference to a joke on the American sitcom Seinfeld.
 * This easter egg has a striking relationship with the last level of Halo: Combat Evolved. In the last level, The Maw, it is possible to find another talking Grunt that won't attack, the Thirsty Grunt. In both cases, stopping to listen to the Grunt will cause your death (it is possible to survive hearing the Thirsty Grunt on the lower difficulties, as you have more time).
 * "The gas" may be referring to benzene.
 * The grunt moves his arm like he's throwing a Pink Wink ball.
