Foliage clearing and underground critter harvesting
The Grubby emerges when players swing tools or weapons through ambient plants, weeds, and bushes across the Jungle. Scooping up this crawling larva with a Bug Net grants a reliable bait creature with 15% bait power. It represents the most common subterranean bug uncovered while exploring underground foliage, making it readily available whenever excavating transit tunnels or hunting for Hive chambers in the damp underground depths.
Nutritional cooking and jungle bait hierarchy
Beyond direct angling usage, carrying a Grubby to a Cooking Pot or Cauldron allows cooks to prepare Grub Soup. This meal bestows the Medium Improvements Well Fed buff for a duration of 10 minutes. While its 15% bait rating sits below fellow Jungle inhabitants such as the Sluggy and Buggy, its high abundance ensures steady supplies for early fishing outings.
Trivia
- Destroying large multi-tile Jungle plants yields higher insect encounter rates than trimming small weeds.
- Can be housed inside a glass terrarium to produce an animated terrarium display.
