Gromps are a species of dim, yet hostile, creature belonging to the Herdy Gerdy game.[1]
Information[]
Characteristics[]
The apex predator of the Island.
Gromps are large, bear-like creatures with pink fur. They stand twice the height of a child, with black hands, black feet, a black nose, and humanoid teeth. Despite being strong and voracious, Gromps are not very smart and can be easily tricked and trapped. They are first encountered at Valley Floor, where they threaten the herds of Doops and Bleeps, which they consume. They will also chase and attack Gerdy.
Gromps are territorial. If two or more meet, they immediately engage in a brawl, and so are generally solitary. They are unaffected by music
Herding Techniques[]
Gromps are fairly easy to Herd and it is generally advised to contain any and all gromps before herding other animals. Gromp traps are simply, wooden affairs that a smarter creature could easily step over and escape. However, Gromps are too unintelligent and instead sit puzzled at the small, ankles high gate containing them.
A trapped Gromp.
Beware of trapping a Gromp next to a herd of Doops or Bleeps, as they can still eat the herd using a fishing pole.
