Arthropods?
Are we really sure about this? They have four limbs, two eyes, and they breath through their mouth. I don't think those are typical arthropod traits. They look like vertabrates to me. Sorryaboutthatchief 07:39, October 9, 2010 (UTC) hey 2010, don't forget that they have a spine.
Glowing
Did anyone else notice the glowing grunts in the five minute firefight that was set on Corvette. FATGUNN 02:05, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
- I have seen them. Those are just Ultras. They've got a different Methane Tank and extra facial protection. Rezo 'Scratoqee (Talk) 18:06, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, those were SpecOps Grunts. They were glowing because they were under the influence of Huragok Overshield at the time. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 18:11, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
- No, they were Ultras. -Itawtisawatweetybewd
Erroneous Height
The stats section states that a Grunt is 5'6 tall, and weighs well over 100kg. Errmmm... No. Regardless of the fact that it is a 'Blame Stosh' picture from the BWU, it still shows a grunt about half the size of a civilian human. That civilian is not 12 feet tall, nor is the grunt best part of 6. Grunts, going by that picture are around 3 feet tall. Where the hell did this "5'6" figure come from? Being 3ft tall, they will not be over 100kg either. Thebigyeash 14:22, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
- The image you linked is using perspectives to achieve that shot; the Grunt is farther while the civilian is closest to the camera. Also, the Halo Encyclopedia confirmed this. For more clarification, see this.- 5əb'7aŋk(7alk) 14:29, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
- I coudn't help but notice but put Master chiefs armor in with the grunt, and I find a major diffrence. I can in no way see a grunt be only a foot smaller then John-117. I cheaked this out in halo 3, and I find this near impossable. No matter how you look at it, this website you gave us differs larger from the game. Jedizora 05:04, January 23, 2011 (UTC)
- Grunts are about as tall as a ordinary human, just a little smaller then an average Spartan(check any Halo Reach Theatre mode spartan-Unngoy comparison) -Guruson
Alliance?
If I remember correctly, they fight against the Brutes in Halo 2, but in Halo 3, they for for the Brutes. I'm confused. Shadowblade777 20:33, August 19, 2011 (UTC)
- Canonly, the Unggoy, Mgalekgolo, and Sangheili are with the Covenant Separatists while the Jiralhanae, Kig-Yar, and Yanme'e are Loyalists. I'm not sure about the Huragok though.

helo 2011 I am 2014 Some kig-yar are separatists, those who aren't just wanted to stay with their pay check.
Mgalekgolo, 90% of them are separatists, and that number is precise, they did not include good ones in halo 3 spasificly for reasons of how hard it would be to identify the good ones from the bad ones. Shanghili are all separatist every one, but some held to precovenet religion and went againced the arbiter and attempted to kill him. (this was in the battle of shanghilos after halo 3 the game ended.) Jiralhanae, they are all bad, and their where no good ones. Even the Jiralhanae that shanghili hired to rebuld their planet turned on their masters. Unggoy: some became what where called "bruit grunts" and others became "elite grunts."
Yanme'e I realy don't remember any being good guys, Huragok always hated being slaves and had bombs on their backs for encouragement of their cooperation. They forgot to let us know what happened to them after halo odst. Did I do a good job making Shure your more or less confused? Oh, and in halo 3 you are fighting bruit grunts. You can tell they are different because they have red hatful evil looking eyes but aside from that, try not to shoot any elite grunts. Whats that, can't tell the difference? ok then we will only put bruit grunts in halo 3. :P oh, I almost forgot. the San 'Shyuum After the destruction of their artificial planet by the flood, (the unholy city of high charity.) the rest of the spices had been killed by very angry separatist who been lied to by them never again! They are, exstinked.
CEA Curlbacks
Anybody got a picture of a curlback Grunt from Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary? Not Spock 20:14, October 26, 2011 (UTC)
What the ?
These guys die in mass in the winter,but can survive in the vaccum, and extreme cold of space? —This unsigned comment is made by ZOMBIE BAIT 368 (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
- well, that's because the winters on Balaho are insanely cold, if humans were sent there, even with lots of protective clothing and stuff, we WOULD die. The thing is, grunts are adapted to horrible conditions, that's why they're so strong and tough. Tristan7grunt 11:30, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
bias
The article keeps saying that they're stupid, and that they're weak, I alterred it, but someone reverted those edits. The grunts are much stronger than this wiki gives them credit for, and lots of people read this wiki, so, these wrong ideas will be getting spread, which is bad, so, I'm going to change them back, because what I said is much more accurate to the halo universe, and canonical. Tristan7grunt 13:22, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
That's because grunts are stupid, they have been purposefully kept uneducated by the Covenant; only a few have any noticable intelligence. The Covenant's reasoning is simple, would you want a race that vastly outnumbers your own to actually be smart? GodzillaMaster 13:40, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
- Besides, grunts are nothing more than a cannon fodder race to the Covenant, they don't need to know anything other than how to hold a gun or drive a ghost. GodzillaMaster 13:50, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
- The covenant may not WANT them educated, but that doesn't mean the grunts don't get intelligent, they learn insanely quickly, and learning IS THE BASIS OF INTELLIGENCE, THAT'S HOW THE BRAIN WORKS. So, they are smart, probably more so than a lot of humans, and they're undeniably stronger than the average human, and undeniably tougher, so, even though they may not need to know, they do, sorry if I sound rude, but you guys are doing what a newbie would do, judging a book by its cover. Tristan7grunt 15:12, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
- I agree that the grunts have the potential for intelligence, as proven by the characters Yayap, Dadab, and Kwassass; it's just that a majority of grunt characters never get to show it. GodzillaMaster 15:33, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're right GodzillaMaster, they're smart, but, since the other covenant races treat them like dirt, they never get to SHOW it, but that's not the same as saying that it's not there, can I or someone else change the article to reflect this? Thank you, I just think it's unfair to the grunts to have such a biased article, regardless of whether or not the subject actually exists or is a fictional character. Tristan7grunt 18:11, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
- I think this site tries not to be biased. We just put in what we've seen in games and books. GodzillaMaster 20:00, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
- I know, no wiki WANTS to be biased, but some editers just end up doing it accidentally, and it doesn't help that a lot of the people who like halo totally ignore the grunts, and that the little attention they pay to the grunts is to call them stupid and weak, so, can I change it? Tristan7grunt 00:38, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
Mabe they only seem weak because we often forget their 800 pound air tank isn't actually part of their body. Shure Spartans kill them in one punch but I never saw a marine punch a grunt. what would happen if a marine and a grunt went fist to fist?
Inventors
Is it known who created the Unggoy as characters? Dainer 12:33, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
Strength?
It says on the Covenant species infobox that they weigh on average 118 kilograms, much more than the average human, dictating that they should have fairly high strength. I'm not doubting their lack of intelligence, but in Halo 3 and in Halo Reach they carry Fuel Rod Cannons with one hand, whereas the Spartan III's hold them with two.

Short story
Long ago the humans gained a new ally againced the covenant, the separatist. And a human solder and a grunt had become best friends. One day the human and grunt fought side by side to defend a space station between 2 solar systems. The battle was lost, and fleeing from the exploding space station the grunt and the human where the only survivors, and onboard a long sword. But the long swords air scrubber was broken, and both the human and the grunt where running out of air. But, the food onboard the ship was a spicy 84 bean chilly. And the human farted methane for the grunt to breath, while the grunt farted oxygen for the human to breath. And you know what? they continued to supply each other air long enough to enter a solar system of their separatist allies and both where supplied air in a non disturbing way. The battle may have been lost, but thanks to their symbiotic friend ship, they survived to fight the covenant *$@*%*% another day.
