In Response To: Cowardly Grunt (Cavmn)
: The grunt is visibly quivering (in fear), and can not be persuaded to move on
: his own. If you smack him, he dies instantly (unlike some grunts that
: require 3 whacks to kill).
: Interestingly enough though, you can move the cowardly grunt against his will
: by pushing against him (as you would a small box). He slides along the
: floor slowly, but is pretty directable. I pushed him through to the next
: room trying to get him involved in the next fight, but he wouldn't engage.
: When I pushed him off the ledge (to the next room below - the Elites jump
: down on their own), he splatted on impact.
To me, this makes him sound like a piece of scenery Bungie put into the game, not an actual character or anything. I think that Bungie just tokk the grunt model, moved it around a bit, made it shake, then just plopped it in a corner for it to be found. The sliding part especially makes me think this, since most characters are hard to direct, but the scenery rocks in Battle Creek are a bit easy to direct, so... My say is "The grunt's a piece of scenery."
