Ambiguously Human: The manual describes them as 'Grunt, Mark Two', but doesn't mention whether they have the same pleasure-inducing cybernetics, and unlike Grunts, they're able to speak.'Halt!' 'Stop!' 'Freeze!' 'You there!'Sturdier marines outfitted in full Biosuits and armed with Laser Rifles. With Friends Like These.: The only monster that will retaliate against attacks from one of their species, likely a consequence of their Unstoppable Rage.Video Game Caring Potential: For a certain value of 'caring': not gibbing them makes them drop ammo for the Shotgun and the Super Shotgun.Informed Attribute: Supposedly, the probes in their brains make them feel extremely happy whenever they kill someone, but they are Perpetual Frowners.Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: To compensate for the fact that the third weakest enemy in the game is the only one with a long-range hitscan attack, Grunts have poor accuracy in their shots.Thankfully, their shotgun is slightly weaker than the player's own. Hitscan: The only enemy in the game whose attack is not a projectile that can be dodged.Glass Cannon: The weakest unit in the game, however, it's almost always found in packs or alongside other stronger mooks, and the damage from their shotguns piles up.Fish out of Water: Being futuristic, gun-toting soldiers, they normally only appear in the science fiction-themed 'Base' levels, but they are also present in the Medieval-themed 'E1M2: Castle of the Damned', where they look quite out of place.

Expy: They fill the same role as the Zombieman from Doom: rank-and-file human soldiers controlled by the forces of evil that drop 5 rounds for your most basic weapon when killed.
