Honestly one thing i could see being considered by oni is this: offering the grunts to help with possibly terraforming balaho to make life on the rest of the planet habitable as a peace deal or to gain some controll over them so they could not run the risk of rebellion...
I used to feel bad about fighting grunts. Then i learned about Draco III. Stopped feeling bad about it after that. Then Halo 2 anniversary came out, and that cutscene about their history and the one Ungoy with a tear in their eye watching their home burn, felt bad again after that. Easy to forget theyre not really given an option about what they do, those grunts on Draco were probably starved for weeks before that happened. In the end, the Covenant deserved to burn.
@@reallybigshoe4297 after winning the battle the covenant gathered all the surviving humans and then unleashed thousands (tens of thousands?) Of starving grunts and jackals and let them eat the survivors alive. They then only partially glassed the planet and used it as a hunting ground probably for the brutes to keep them entertained
I feel bad about the Grunts, and I really enjoy how they almost tore the Covenant apart in the Unggoy Rebellion and it took an Arbiter to stop it and how the Elites would respect the Grunts afterwards. But the Grunt Birthday Party skull is too much fun to use that I always turn it on whenever I play.
I have got to say your videos are always a class act, and you are one of the few channels on youtube that I get ecstatic whenever I see a new upload! Thank you so much for all your hard work and years of enjoyment you have provided!
*"You killed Flipyap! Or Yapflip, was he... It was Yapflip... No, Flipyap is his brother. Don't tell me I don't know Flipyap! Flipyap and I went to Nipple Academy together! And.... and he's dead..."*
If Halo ever got rebooted, I would love to see Halo Studios take inspiration from Space Marine 2 and make Unggoy hoardes. Give most of them the Needler cutlass from Contact Harvest. Or maybe the Endless can use primitive Unggoy from Cylixes for brutal charges at UNSC forces.
I’ve loved the Halo games ever since it first started. But a funny story about the Grunts. I was in the US Navy and there are lots of Filipinos that serve. There is an international radio station out at sea (channel 16) that anyone can tap into and when we were in proximity of Philippine and Chinese forces, the Filipinos would call the Chinese, “Unggoy” which means monkey or more importantly, “Monkey People”. Many other words were used, but that’s the only one that relates to Halo🇵🇭
Hey I loved the video but I just want to say you have it backwards at 1:00 in. They didn't become cannon fodder AFTER getting weapons. They were being deployed without weapons (or training) to the battlfield before the rebellion. That rebellion is what allowed them to actually use weapons and get some form of training.
The Banished aesthetic looks so dang and I feel genuinely interesting. What the next Halo game is that will take place *after* Infinite needs to focus on them once more and the setting of Zeta Halo. That later due to that installation is simply just FAR too much of a great opportunity to be half-assed and wasted and botched due to Halo Infinite's incompetently handled development.
As someone who hates jackals aka the KIG-YAR down to my guts, i am happy for the little guys for standing up against them... I hate brutes and jackals... Elites and Grunts are my favorite guys!
Are there any visual differences between Ultras and Bouncers aside from the energy shields? I assumed they were of the same rank and some were just told they got energy shields when they didn't.
Thank you for these bestiary videos. I'm currently making up my own 40k-ish table top army for the Covenant. Fortunately Halo has plenty of lore to use
I have to ask, what's with the disconnect between the written title of this series and the spoken title? Because the title as it's written would be "Beest-ee-air-uhm" but you're pronouncing it "Best-air-ee-uhm." Which one is correct?
The Unggoy are not spoken enough about. Me and my brothers will pave our own path in the stars!
Yeah we will!
Well said brother!

The grunt birthday party skull is genuinely one of my favorite things in gaming.
Agreed haha
Meanie!
When you first saw Unggoy | Bestiarum, were you blinded by its majesty?
Blinded?
Paralyzed, dumbstruck?
@An_ape_with_internet_access Paralyzed? Dumbstruck?
No!

What happened on Draco III?

Mean grunts ate the humans!
@ That's not very nice :(

Ah yes, the angry little space crabs
"I'VE FACED SPACE CRABS MORE FEARSOME THAN YOU!"
@@alexdemaj4285 eh makes me think of gremlins more than crabs
The original squid monkey things.
They are fearsome in firefight when they run at u with 2 grenades and u dont pay attention lol
Grunts are also master linguists, capable of learning new languages within days.
I've never sparing one of these little guys again.
Just learned about what happened on Draco III.
Not even me?
@yapflipthegrunt4687 not even you.
@@Jayven45 I wasn't there! How is this my fault?
@@yapflipthegrunt4687 how do I know you haven't eaten humans?
@@Jayven45 No proof I did either!
The grunts. They are the B1 battle droids of Halo.
Most Unngoy are child soldiers. That's why they seem like scared children. They are scared children
@@whee38
There's an old grunty saying that goes "when in doubt, flee!!!"
I feel like grunts and humanity could get along really well. In the books it's always Jackals and Elites that work with humans on outer colonies.

Idc how legendary they are, im NEVER letting myself get bodied by anyone of these *CREATURES*

i like grunts
THANK YOU
Yes, they are indeed quite funny
Literally my first thought as I clicked on this
Yap yap the destroyer is one of the best.
Me too dude
The most teabagged species in the galaxy...
I always felt bad for those lil'guys.
Youre not alone man...same!
@silverfang1648 They're just so cute.🐼
@@UncleMikeDrop indeed

@@yapflipthegrunt4687 yap flip, you are a beautiful bae 😍
My favourite covenant species
Miss the H1/2 designs, those were peak and better for the halo franchise to have to draw in mass appeal.
Ok this was an unexpected suprise!
We have 2 covenant species left
>Jiralhanae/Brutes
>Huragok/Engineers
MR 00 DO A VIDEO ON COVENANT DRUGS LIKE THE SANSCHYUM BONGS AND THE GRUNTS INHALANTS THAT WOULD BE SICK
What about the grunt mating chamber?
Are there any visual differences between Ultras and Bouncers aside from the energy shields? I assumed they were of the same rank and some were just told they got energy shields when they didn't.
Forearm armor is a different shape. More pointed on the bouncers, more square on the Ultras.
another banger
Ah the Grunties :)

Ah the cute sleepy boy's * halo cr classic graphics*
@scarface406 Naps!
The real victims of the halo franchise
The grunts were at their best when they stood with Cortana and the created!
I will never forgive any of the Covenant species. Ever.
Rude!
