Grunty the Murloc Marine is a murloc companion. This baby murloc wears Terran Marine armor and wields a gauss rifle, which he'll occasionally fire around at perceived enemies.[1]

Source[]

This pet was given out as a code to those who visited the Blizzard booth at the gamescom 2009 event and the BlizzCon 2009 event whether in-person at the event, as purchasers of the DirecTV pay-per-view,[1] or as purchasers of the internet streamed video.[2]

The pet was delivered by in-game mail to every character on a player's Battle.net account that has been attached to a Grunty code, much like Collector's Edition companions. If you merged your World of Warcraft account with your Battle.net account after purchasing the stream, you will not get the pet.

Letter[]

The letter delivered with Grunty is from Master Handler Sylvester:

Blizzcon 2009

Thank you for your attending BlizzCon 2009! As a special gift of appreciation, we would like to present you with this small, heavily-armed friend. May he lead you to new adventures across the face of Azeroth and beyond!

Previously, the letter's subject was "Special Delivery".

Pet Journal[]

Only the rarest of murlocs is able to successfully cross dimensional barriers. Fewer still return with the kind of advanced armor and weaponry possessed by Grunty.

Heroes of the Storm This section concerns content related to Heroes of the Storm and is considered non-canon.
  • Grunty was a hero in early versions of Heroes of the Storm (then known as Blizzard DOTA). His description read: "Grunty was sucked into a magic vortex and whipped across the dimensions when he battled a 25-man raid one Tuesday night. Deposited in the Koprulu sector, Grunty often finds himself among the zerg as murlocs are the only creatures the zerg have ever refused to infest."[3]
  • In Heroes of the Storm, Murky has a skin named "Grunty Murky."

Notes and trivia[]

  • If Grunty gets near a Zergling or Zeradar companion, he'll either kill them or be killed by them.
  • The pet battle abilities Gauss Rifle and Stimpack are only available to Grunty. U-238 Rounds was originally only available to Grunty as well, but a few other pets with this ability have since been added.
  • He can assist the player in Failoc-alypse by dropping nuclear bombs.[4]
