9 MUST-HAVE GRUNDO THEMED ITEMS

     1. RAISING BABY GRUNDO (BOOK)

      We put this item first because, as the name suggests, it has crucial information on how to properly raise your Grundo. Every Neopet owner wants their pet to be the very best that they potentially can, so it’s safe to say that this book is 100% a must.

      Also, note that the book is not referring to “baby Grundo” as the colour, but as “recently created Grundo”. We know that because this book was released in Y3, while the Baby Paint Brush was only released during Y4. Furthermore, the description of the book says “how to raise your baby Grundo to be big and strong”, implying that it isn't talking about the baby colour, otherwise, the Grundo wouldn’t ever become “big and strong”.

     2. VALENTINE GRUNDO GIFT BOX (GIFT)

      This box is absolutely adorable. Period. The pink tone is cute and matches perfectly with the red-coloured eyes on top of it. The best part of this item is that the Grundo’s classic antennas were gracefully incorporated to the item in the form of beautiful red ribbons. So, if you want to gift somebody on Grundo’s day, this is your go-to item.

     3. PROGRAMMING FOR GRUNDOS (BOOK)

      Technological knowledge is certainly a must for any Grundo. “Why is that?” the reader may ask. Well, Grundos’ homeland is Kreludor, the moon of Neopia. In space, everything’s about machines and data. So, programming certainly may come in handy for these lovely pets.

      Also, even if you and your Grundo do not live in Kreludor, surely your Grundo will have friends that do live there. If not, you’ll probably get him/her to visit Kreludor eventually, won’t you?

      Besides, reading this book might make you better at Typing Terror, since programmers tend to type very fast!

     4. GRUNDO ADMIRERS FOREGROUND (WEARABLE)

      This item is self-explanatory. If Grundo Day is all about appreciating your Grundo, this foreground is exactly what you’re looking for. The foreground shows a crowd of Grundos praising your neopet (a Grundo as well, we hope!). The crowd is very excited, with their hands up and even a heart sign.

     5. SPEAK GRUNDO VOL 1 (BOOK)

      The authors had no idea Grundos had their own language until researching to write this article and we think that other Grundo’s owners might not know as well. That being said, communication is key, isn’t it? You should be able to understand your neopet in order to be a good owner, which makes learning Grundo’s language a must.

      Funny fact is that even with the book’s title saying “vol. 1”, there’s no “vol. 2” so far. Maybe TNT should consider releasing it sometime soon, right?

     6. HANDHELD GRUNDO PLUSHIE OF PROSPERITY (WEARABLE)

      The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity (also known as TDMBGPOP) is, as its name indicates, a sad Grundo plushie that was discarded. You know when you go to your inventory and there’s the button “discard item”? Well, that’s the case. Somebody just discarded this plushie and now it lays somewhere on Farieland.

      Actually, since being abandoned, it’s safe to say that the plushie isn’t as lonely as before, because neopians visit the plushie on a daily basis. That being said, what if, instead of visiting only once a day, you could provide company to this poor little plushie 24 hours a day? Even better, what about also making fashion out it (why not, right?)? That’s the item for you!

     7. GRUNDO SNOW THROW STAMP (STAMP)

      This stamp is a way of celebrating one of Neopia’s most notable games: Snow Wars 2. Many users play it trying to get the avatar, but not so many succeed. In the game, snowmen were built, but Lupes are trying to destroy them. And the best part of it? You play as a group of Grundos who are in charge of defending the snowmen.

      Who would’ve guessed Grundos were good with snow, right? Coming all the way from the outer space, this game proves that Grundos are versatile pets and able to do multiple kinds of tasks, from programming a spaceship to winning a snow-based competition. That’s what makes them so special and totally worth of appreciation on Grundo Day.

     8. GRUNDO RESISTANCE BLASTER (WEARABLE)

      The reader might not know, but the Grundos’ history wasn’t always happy. In the early ages of Neopia, Grundos were enslaved to Dr. Sloth, only being freed with his defeat. Some neopians claim that Sloth wasn’t totally destroyed and might be returning soon.

      With that in mind, while this item is formally a wearable, it certainly would be helpful in a conflict. So, why not provide your Grundo with an outstanding look while also caring for his safety? It’s like the item description says “you might need to carry this with you - just in case”.

     9. GRUNDO CAFE RECIPES (BOOK)

      Grundo Café is the most famous restaurant on Virtupets space station and its recipes are for sure desired by most neopians. With this book, everybody can finally learn how to make all the delicious space treats sold in the Grundo’s Cafe!

      The book was written by the owner of the Cafe himself, Gargarox (who is also known for his passion for Gormball). The recipes were once a total secret, but Gargarox decided to share some (not all) of them in this book.

     CONCLUSION

      All in all, that’s a shortlist of some items that may help Grundo owners better enjoy Grundo Day. Even if you’re not a Grundo owner (yet!), you might be a sympathizer and this article is also for you.

      If there’s any item you think is a must-have on Grundo Day and was not listed here, please feel free to neomail one of the authors. We’ll gladly take your suggestions!

      Finally, we hope you and your pet have a wonderful Grundo Day!
