@Bruce Bee In Halo CE legendary pretty much any enemies are a viable threat. Especially since grunts and jackals can rapid fire their plasma pistols. On their own they are easy to deal with but when you are taking on Elites (one or multiple) on Legendary or LASO your attention is focused on the biggest threat so grunts or jackals can flank/sneak around sometimes and just finish you off at the worst times. Especially on LASO where elites are mobile tanky grenade throwing champions.

Sounds like he's saying grimps

[@BigNutts21]

When grunts ran from me I honestly ignored them. I also find them quite adorable

[@Giovaft]

This is heartwrenching to hear, ever sinse I listen to this, I always say "sorry grunt" when I kill one, I feel bad and my heart breaks.

A group of shielded grunts with needlers are a force. Sometimes they even have those plasma pistols that shoot black holes

As a history teacher and Halo fan, I love these videos.

Is Yap Yap cannon? I was told he wasn’t. If he is I’m glad, all hail Yap Yap The Destroyer.

YES, he is canon.

[@connorpayton608]

When Grunts say "Fred, no" or "He was my best friend" I have to get rid of them but still kinda makes me sad on the inside in till they kill me and laugh at me then I don't feel bad for them

[@zaknaylor4973]

as a kid (and still to this day) I always knew about the grunts being forced into service by the covenant, I never liked killing them so I always melee killed them and pretended I was just knocking them out :(

[@tactilcalhorize]

I gotta say, the 1st Grunt Rebellion is one of my Favorite Golden Nuggets of Halo Lore. I would LOVE to read a full novel telling the story.

[@justiceforjoggers2897]

If I recall, in one of the books a trooper talks about how a full captured squad gets ripped apart and eaten by grunts and jackals.

[@CaiusCosades44]

Yep it was halo fall of reach i think . Also in halo Fall of reach John 117 recalls how a large group of civilians were rounded up and riped and eaten by the Kig-Yar and Grunts .

Imagine the introduction of a badass Grunt character, and also a developed Jackal character. Both with their own lines and motives.

[@thejamman4070]

That moment when you know all the lore presented, but you like the creator enough to watch anyway. For about 3 years, all I did was play Halo, and look up lore.

[@TheBaneOfLane]

I think I'm getting to that stage of my life.

I'm brazilian, im starting to play Halo games, i was pretty curious about the history and the lore of the game, about the "history untold", and your videos had help me a lot. This is the kind of content that i don't find in brazilian portuguese. Your videos are awesome, dude. Sorry for any english error.

[@surazal9377]

Looking back it feels like showing them mercy to fight them in battle. With the honor of having fought toe to toe with the most feared enemy to the Covenant.

[@haydenmccoy9476]

"The level of satisfaction just tends to outweigh the questionable ethics" is my new favorite line

[@slushy4289]

I always feel a hit of guilt when I kill a grunt. Now I know their history and this guilt hits even harder.

[@embracerodusk2537]

Nothing like some tribal bass & drums in a room full of sleeping grunts.

Why would we glass a true hero?

[@sharklazerboy9529]

I remember reading a lore bit from Halo Wars 2, where somebody was scavenging resources in a abandoned base, but a Grunt waltz in and also started looking for food. When the grunt was looking for food in the fridge/pantry, the guy (I think it was a gal) locked him in there. I can't remember much, but I think she left the little guy in there ;-; I kina feel bad for playing Yap Yap now

[@andrewsnowden8706]

Amazing video - this is why I tune in. Hilarious and informative! Poor grunts lol

[@scout9936]

I mean, yeah it's sad but all I can imagine is a grunt saying "This is fine"

[@juzeku]

I? I am a monument to all your sins. This one is machine and nerve, and has its mind concluded. This one is but flesh and faith, and is the more deluded. There is much talk, and I have listened, through rock and metal and time. Now I shall talk, and you shall listen. This one's containment... and this one's Great Journey... ... are the same. Your Prophets have promised you freedom from a doomed existence, but you will find no salvation on this Ring. Those who built this place knew what they wrought. Do not mistake their intent, or all will perish as they did before. If you will not hear the truth, then I will show it to you. There is still time to stop the key from turning, but first, it must be found. You will search one likely spot... and you will search another. Fate had us meet as foes, but this ring will make us brothers.
