Grunny

From: The Gaiapedia, the community encyclopedia about Gaia Online

The Grunny was first revealed in the text of LabTech 101's journal, in the story building up to the Halloween 2k4 event. They were supposedly going to be cool colored pets for Gambino to sell to Gaians. During the actual Halloween ball, 101 was zombified, and the undead Grunny was happily sitting on his head.

Many clones of Grunny appeared on Gaia during the Halloween 2k5 event, dubbed as the Grunny Invasion. During the event, users collected Grunnies. At first catching them got users items, but the more they collected, the further they became zombified, cumulating with a Grunny tumor spawning out of the avatar's head.

Grunnies have also been featured in the event as items on clothing such as shirts and slippers, in addition to wallpapers

There is also mention of a purple grunny in 101's journal. People have referred to this particular strain as Prunny, which are infected by the P-virus.

[edit] The Plushie

Two months after the Grunny Invasion, the Gaia Store came out with a Grunny plushie for $14.99 as well as a Kiki Kitty plushie.
