The Ceph Grunts are humanoid aliens who serve the Ceph. Grunts are probably the most common of the Cephs' combat forms. They form the backbone of the Ceph infantry squads, and often attack in large groups. In their powered exoskeletal armour suits they stand just over six feet tall. Their deployment method is as with most Ceph ground units, being dropped in pods by Dropships directly on to the battlefield.
