Grunts were the first level of warrior in the service of orc armies during the First War. Trained for close combat, these soldiers make excellent fodder for wading through human forces. Use of the axe and shield is their speciality, and they are hearty fighters with a taste for blood.Template:Cite

In PvP
Grunt was an old Honor System title available to Horde characters; being a Grunt allowed characters to purchase a Team insignia trinket.
NPCs and Mobs
Grunts are guards in orcish horde cities and towns such as Orgrimmar and Razor Hill, but also in-horde orcish settlements throughout Azeroth and Outland. Curiously, their signature horned helmets are missing.
Grunts are used as the pawn in the Karazhan chess event.
