Breanni Says:

When I first saw Murkimus the Gladiator I thought, "What could be more dangerous than a baby murloc with a spear?" Well... I give you Grunty. Somehow Murky's little cousin managed to visit a parallel universe and get his fins on a rapid fire C-14 Impaler gauss rifle and stim-equipped heavy armor. This gear bears the markings of some group called the Terran Dominion. Now I don't know who these Dominion folks are, but they'd better beef up their security before Murky, Lurky, Gurky, and a host of other baby murlocs make off with the rest of their arsenal.

By far this pet turns the most heads in a random pick-up. Worth the money. After I purchased him is when I decided that pets are so worth it, just for the superficial feel of it and motivated me to collect them all.

Grunty is the perfect level one twink pet. Both level one twinks & Grunty are little babies with hardcore gear. :)

This little guy is by far my favorite pet. Murloc + Starcraft Marine Armor and Rifle = Massive Awesome. Love his idle animations, especially when we are just standing there together and he is checking our 12 and 6 with his rifle aimed and loaded.

I know that they're offering these as a contest prize on wowhead.com this week...I'm so jealous! D: I may just have to enter. I'd love to have one of these guys (although really, I'd love to have any murloc companion. They're so adorable). :D

All marines are crazy but Grunty is the hairiest scariest, craziest jarhead that ever scratched, kicked, and bit his way out of a zergling ambush.

I have half a mind to actually spend the $60 or so bucks to buy Grunty. Sure that sounds ridiculous and I agree, it is, but I still want one. I'm a huge Starcraft geek and I know that I have a much smaller chance of getting the Zergling pet, so I figure burning the cash on Grunty would be a worthwhile investment in the long run.

Maybe they'll add a Protoss pet to the game some day...

My raid leader always insists that I bring Grunty out for all raids, because, let's face it...Grunty is REALLY the only topping the DPS charts. If Grunty can't kill it, nobody can!

He's my favorite pet of all time, and a great good luck charm!

Be sure that when you look for the e-mail for this pet, you check your spam mail too! My e-mail, and many others, reported finding our Grunty codes in our spam folder. If you did not receive it yet, I reccommend contacting Blizzard if you still cannot find your Grunty.

That said, Grunty is by far the coolest mini-pet in my opinion. I just love how he times his gunfire for the most appropriate times. Like when your raid leader tries to explain a fight to newbies =)

Be aware that Grunty can be a rather loud pet with his missile firings and gun shooting animations, which he does ALOT. While this makes him incredibly fun, it can also make him a bit distracting if you are also trying to listen to other sounds such as vent conversations or game sounds.

I absolutely love this pet. It's especially fun when ( as an 80 hunter) i click explosive shot and grunty fires almost simultaneously pointed at the boss :P. It feels like I'm two hunters in one! Love the vocalizations and sounds. Keep 'em coming Blizz!

The gurgling he makes sounds like it's coming over a Single Side-Band (SSB) radio.

Learning this pet gives you the feat of strength achievement The Marine Marine.

After some experimentation it was discovered that when fighting with a Zergling, proximity determines who is the victor. If the Zergling is summoned right next to Grunty then the Zergling can often win. If there is distance though then Grunty always wins. Two or more Zerglings is bad in any case. I stopped experimenting after a while because they're cute and I felt bad when they died.

This little guy is just like me. He swims like a troll, has no need for good posture, wears bulky shoulders, and has a liking for firing wildly in the air!

A great pet for troll hunters. :D

(btw, seriously check out his swim animation. So awesome seeing him put his gun on his back in the water.)

Pretty loud pet - it's hard to have it out on the raid and don't get spanked by raid leader ^_~ But it's the best mini pet for hunters - especially those using guns. *CLINK-CLANK* *KABOOM* ~_^

A great little pet! He shoots his gun and his missile off frequently, unlike most vanity pets animation specials which take an age to turn up, however, this can be a downfall where there are multiple Grunty's in one place... (We had 3 Grunty's in our 10man raid, 4hrs later, our GM was ready to return each Grunty to its owner with a quick shove where the sun doesnt shine).... and my eye's are still watering.

His so called "Vocalizations" are Murloc gurgles that sound muffled by the helmet, as they should sound, also, Teutatis is right, when you learn the pet, the icon changes from the egg to the gun.
