Orc Grunt

For the Warcraft III unit, see Grunt (Warcraft III).

Grunts were the first level of warrior in the service of Orcish Horde 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

Those orcs who distinguish themselves enough in the arts of war to be trained as grunts epitomize the merciless spirit of the Horde. Equipped with mighty axes and battle-worn armor, they are prepared to fight to the death. Devoted to the Horde and to their clans, the grunt lusts for battle — wanting nothing more than to wade into the field of carnage and die a bloody death surrounded by the bodies of his fallen enemies.Template:Cite

Grunts are the first and last line of the horde's defense. These powerful fighters arm themselves with mighty battle-axes and display all of the savagery and cunning of their race. In past generations, grunts were characterized by their depravity and brutality. But now, under the visionary leadership of Thrall, they more closely resemble their savage, yet noble warrior ancestors.Template:Cite

In Warcraft I, II, and III they are voiced by Bill Roper.
