Grunty

Grunties (Japanese name: Puchiguso) are pig-like creatures that players have the ability to raise in Root Towns. Grunties are used as transportation across fields, finding Grunty Food and also avoiding Magic Portals. While Grunties weren't allowed to leave their Home Server during the original games. It seems this restriction was lifted later on, as Hotaru and Komiyan III were both able to bring their Grunties with them when they changed servers.

In The World R:2, most Grunties manage guild @Homes and take on the appearance and personality of the guildmaster. An exception is Mecha Grunty, who is found deserted on fields and can be saved by players willing to power it up with chim-spheres.

Grunty Regalia

The three Grunty Regalia are event items in The World R:2, used in Haseo's quest to become a guildmaster. They consist of the Grunty Hat (obtained from Gao-rundy), the Grunty Shoes (obtained from Mellow-rundy), and the Grunty Brush (obtained from Whiz-rundy). They are a parody of the Imperial Regalia of Japan.
