In Quake 1, the Grunt is an undead soldier, rewired with a probe in its brain that makes this zombie happy with every kill it makes, armed with a Shotgun. They can be found in the first level of each episode, and in E1M2.
Description
Grunts are roughly the same size as the player and still appear vaugely human. Their skin is still human-like, but they have a blood-soaked chest, and thin beige armor.
In combat, a Grunt will run to close range and fire a single shotgun blast before moving to fire again. The cocking of their shotgun is easily recognized, so if they cock the gun, you can tell a blast isn't too far behind. Since their weapons are "instant effect", you cannot dodge unless you move before they fire. They seem to have quite an affection to undead Rottweilers.
Combat
Grunts have extremely low HP, which means that you can kill them with two shotgun blasts or axe hits. Their shotguns are pretty weak, even without armor.
One or two Grunts will barely harm you, but a large group of them can inflict some good damage, especially if they fire at once. If you do encounter a large group, take out your Nailgun and kill them from a distance. Their shotguns are ineffective at medium or long range.
