Grumble

This article is about Grumble. You may be looking for Queen Grumble or Giggle.

"You were eaten by what you call a Grumble... Grumbles are matured Giggles. They usually stay close to their nest, but always patrol for intruders."
- Guiding Light

Grumbles are hostile entities and recurring antagonists in The Mines, primarily in The Nest.

Appearance

Grumble are giant, beige-colored creatures, being bigger, larger, more matured versions of Giggle. They have 8 tentacles, a giant smiling mouth full of teeth, a tongue, small lips, two purplish-pink eyes with several smaller eyes above and below them with the same color and two lines above the mouth, supposedly being a nose.

Behavior

Grumble first appear in The Nest (Door 150), immediately following the end of the first Seek chase. A total of 5 Grumbles patrol The Nest. After the first cutscene in The Nest, Grumble cannot enter the main hallway surrounding the two terminal entrances in The Nest or the rooms with the instructions/Anchor A.

If a player is in the line of sight of a Grumble, it will start chasing them while laughing deeply. If its line of sight of the player is broken, it will stop chasing the player and continue to traverse The Nest. If a Grumble touches a player, it will "fling" the player away from them, stunning the player briefly and dealing 50 damage, it's also worth noting that the tentacles of a Grumble have no hitbox, only the main body does. Grumble cannot hear players walking or throwing stuff around.

Using flashlights or bulklights can disorientate a Grumble to the aforementioned light sources. If a player is being chased by a Grumble, they are able to shine a light source on its face to slow its movement speed, and stuns and kept going.

If the player is in a safe spot where they can be seen, but not reached (such as the possible B anchor spawn with the broken wall), the Grumble that spots them will turn to face them, stare for a few seconds, before turning and going back onto patrol.

Notes

Grumble tentacles have no collision, so you can walk by them easily.
According to Guiding Light, Grumbles roam The Nest to protect their queen.

Jumpscare

1st Person

Grumble will grab the player with its tentacles, open its mouth, then close it, killing the player.

3rd Person

Grumble will grab the player with its tentacles, then bite into them, tearing off their upper half of the body.

Strategy

When a Grumble chases you, run to the gate or run to a nearby room, Grumbles cannot go into small spaces.
You are able to sense any Grumble (apart from the Queen Grumble) chasing you, because they laugh.
If a Grumble is chasing you, look for tight gaps or any doors or corners that can protect you.
Once you have powered the bridge, run to the door as fast as you can.

Bugs

If a Grumble catches a player right next to one of the lockers in front of the mesh wall, the player may be clipped behind the locker and will be unable to do anything other than move around a little bit.

Trivia

The Queen Grumble is the guardian of the Grumbles and notably has more unique features than a standard Grumble.
The name and description of the Grumble crucifix achievement references the famous proverb: "The bigger they are, and the harder they fall!"
