Escape from Snaktooth, also referred to as The Final Battle, is the fifth (and final) event of the story.
After the encounter with Lizbert and learning the truth about Bugsnax, Filbo and The Journalist wake up in Flavor Falls as a callback to the Journalist's arrival. Filbo gains consciousness and the two rush over to Snaxburg to prevent the expedition team from eating more Bugsnax and escape the island.
Upon arrival, Snaxburg has turned into a battlefield, the meadow now roughed up by the earthquake and impassable and hordes of aggressive Bugsnax coming in town from every side to neutralize their ecology.
Snorpy hurriedly greets Filbo and The Journalist, asking where they have been and is busy fueling the balloon of the Journalist's newly repaired airship. Snorpy has been involved with almost every part of the defense structure and is desperately needed back down in the field. Filbo takes over Snorpy's balloon business and also request his radio to stay in contact with everyone.[1]The Journalist sets off to aid every team, their involvement being the deal breaker to their survival.
The expedition team is separated into teams of two to defend the town from every side.
Snorpy has modified and repurposed[2] the catching/luring tools into offensive weapons and launch tools
Snak Chop - Snak Trap, set to "purree", modified by Snorpy.
Snakgrappler - Snakgrappler with a boxing glove at the end.
Trip Drone - Trip Shot is remote controlled so that it can reach high places. The electrified rope can damage multiple Bugsnax at once.
Lunchpad + Snakwater (+ Beffica's Snaxscope) - The Lunchpad has the same launch power
Buggy Ball
Sling Shot + Special Sauce
The team-up structure is based on their relationships, with a favouring of those with romantic ties.
The areas they defend and/or Bugsnax they fend off is loosely based on what area the expeditionees resided when the Journalist met them.
In the case of Floofty and Shelda, they resided in outer biomes and thus do not defend a certain side.
The event is separated into segments, in which the player is tasked with helping two Grumpuses at a time using "deadlier" versions of each of the tools the player has come to learn and use throughout the game: a Snak Trap meant to blend Bugsnax, a Snakgrappler with a boxing glove attached, a Trip Shot set to electrocute, a Lunchpad with flammable Snakwater loaded on, Sprout's Buggy Ball with spikes attached, and a Sauce Slinger armed with Special Sauce that will make Bugsnax fight over it.
Depending on the player's actions during these sequences, the different Grumpuses can die from eating all of the bugs attacking them, and becoming Bugsnax themselves; making it the only quest that can have a different ending depending on player choice.
If the player completes all sidequests in the game, however, the bad ending cannot be obtained, as everyone will fight back against the Bugsnax instead of eating them, thus not turning.
"Rejection" and "Acceptation" lines are voice lines meant to be uttered by the Grumpuses upon having Bugsnax reach them upon the Journalist' failed attempt to keep them at bay.
Phew! Okay. I'll be fine for now, Buddy. Go and help the others! I'll have the balloon ready by the time you get back!
Defend Filbo!
I must defend Filbo and the balloon from feral Bugsnax! Good thing I have Snorpy's 'Snak Chop.'
Objectives:
Defend Filbo!
Help Shelda and Floofty![]
Help Shelda and Floofty!
Shelda and Floofty are hiding in the ruins of the ranch. The upgraded Snak Grappler should punch a hole through to safety.
Objectives:
Help Shelda and Floofty!
Stay still, you pugnacious pests! Gah, why did Snorpington make this so cumbersome?
One has foreseen! The Bugsnax will be five feet to the right of where you're aiming!
I'm a scientist, not an exterminator! You do it if you're so inclined!
One is strictly a pacifist! Also, one is pushing seventy.
Fair enough. Ah, but here comes someone with a healthy capacity for violence! Take this device and clear a path for us...please.
Bugsnax approach/emerge from Snaxburg
Excellent violence. Ah, fascinating. You're good for something after all. Hooo!
Bugsnax begone! Toxins purged! That looked painful! Oooh!
More specimens arriving. Have caution. We're not finished yet.
Ever more Toxins rise! Look out! Beware!
*Attempt to Leave Battle Area*
There's no time for cowardice! Assist us!
You are clearly lost! Return to us!

Shelda Succumbs
One is called. One must answer... One is devoted! One is wise! One is pure! The Bugsnax have no power over me!
That was...regrettable...
Floofty Succumbs
I cannot let this opportunity pass! I can feel it! The precipice! In Bugsnax, potential to understand the very nature of being. I would be a fool not to indulge!
Floofty...not even you deserved that...
Floofty & Shelda Survive
That's enough mortal danger for one day. Let's abscond while the Bugsnax have subsided.
You don't have to tell me twice. You, however, must continue. The others still need your help!
Help Chandlo and Snorpy![]
Help Chandlo and Snorpy!
Chandlo and Snorpy are defending the bridge with ultimate teamwork. Still, they need my help operating the Trip Drone.
Objectives:
Help Chandlo and Snorpy!
This part is tricky as the Trip Drone, alike the Trip Shot, needs positions and preperation. If the Bugsnax went past the line there is no time to correct it. On top of that, a failure of the rope placement causes multiple Bugsnax to pass.
Snorpy is by design the most likely to succumb.[4]
Come on, Snax, let's see what you got!
Ah, Chum, over here! I've just finished another device: the Trip Drone! With this, we can hold off the Bugsnax and escape before Chandlo collapses!
Don't worry, Snorp-dawg, I could do this aaall day!
Oh, you beautiful fool. I'll pilot the drone, you aim the shot. Unfortunately, we're short on connective surfaces...
How 'bout this? ALLEY-OOP!
Hm. That'll do.
Bugsnax approach/emerge from the Mountains
Don't trip! Haha. Fine work, Chum! Take that, Grumpinati! Ha ha!
You got this, Bro! Three points! Get dunked on! Whoa!
I'm in position! Relocating! Let's get another angle! Hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Chandlo's gotta go to work! This one's for Snorp-dawg! Nothin' but log!" *log-throwing grunt*
*Attempt to Leave Battle Area*
Bro, we can't do this without you!
Wrong way, Chum! The battle is over here!

Bro, I'm about to CARBO LOAD! I can't take 'em all. Gotta protect Snorpy. I'll never be strong enough. I gotta be more than me. I gotta be Bugsnax.
CHANDLO! NOOOOOOO!
Snorpy Succumbs
I'm losing control! Can't! Resist! The Snax! I see what you're doing, you delectable automatons. I know too much. I have to be destroyed. It's the only way to keep Chandlo safe. You win, Grumpinati. Your secrets die with me!
SNORPY! NOOOOOOO!
Chandlo & Snorpy Survive
WE CRUSHED IT, DAWG! I'm gonna give you the hug of your LIFE!
Don't celebrate too soon. We're not safe until we're off this horrid rock! To the balloon!
Help Beffica and Cromdo![]
Help Beffica and Cromdo!
Cromdo and Beffica are holding back Bugsnax with explosive barrels of snakwater! My practice with the Lunchpad will come in handy.
Objectives:
Help Beffica and Cromdo!
You see anything yet? All this smoke is makin' my eyes water!
Don't worry, if there's one thing I'm good at, it's looking for trouble~ heh! Speaking of, Snax at three-o-clock!
You got it! Fire in the hole! Whoa-ho-ho, they're toast! Who knew Snakwater was so flammable, eh?
It's almost a shame to waste it like this. Oh! Bestie! You're just in time for the end of the world. Buuut now that you're here, if you take over the Lunchpad, Cromdo can pick up the speed on those barrels...can't you, Cromdo?
Ehh, sure thing, Beff. (muttering to himself) If I don't break my grumpin' back first.
*Bugsnax approach/emerge from the Desert*
OMG! You nailed it! Way to go, Bestie! Haha, nice!
Hehey, nice shot! Ow! They ain't gettin' up from that! BOOM, baby! Nice!
More Snax are coming! Watch out, Bestie! Here they come!
There ya go. Here, take this. Another one for yas. *grunts with effort* Hnnng, OH! My back! Hnnnng! Oh, oh, that's heavy!

I'm so grumping hungry! There's no point in going back with them. I don't have a life, or friends...nobody I can really trust, anyway. But Bugsnax...I can trust you to be delicious.
Sorry, Beff.
Cromdo Succumbs
Outta my way, rubes! Gimme them Snax! I ain't gonna get rich and famous if I listen to these suckers. They're just holdin' me back! Now's my chance! The Snax are mine! Mine! Mine!
Oh no! Cromdo...
*Beffica & Cromdo Survive*
Phew! Huh! It looked pretty nasty for a sec, but I knew you'd pull through, Bestie!
We made it! Haha, that means Snorpy owes me five bucks. Let's blow this popsicle stand, huh?
Help Wiggle and Gramble![]
Help Wiggle and Gramble!

Help Wiggle and Gramble!
RUN AWAY SNAX, NEVER COME BACK! *cough*
I don't get it, why are the lil' ones attacking us!? They...they love me.
They're like a mob of adoring fans, darling. They love you SO much that they each want a piece of you...
Even so, I can't bring myself to...to hurt ‘em. So why'd Snorpy have to go and weaponize Sprout!?
Gramble! I didn't know you were so punk rock!
I'm not a punk OR a rock! I...I can't do this!
Well, I know who CAN. Darling, I've got them all warmed up. It's time for you to bring the house down!
Bugsnax approach from Simmering Springs
How inspired! Great performance, Darling! That came in like a wrecking ball! Whoa-oooo-ooooo!!
I can't watch! That sounded bad... Is Sprout okay? Ahh-oooh!
Snax on the way! The show's not over! Here they come, Darling!
There's more of ‘em! Why won't they stop? They're endless!
*Attempt to Leave Battle Area*
Come back, Darling, we need help!
W-where are you going!? Don't leave us!

Ohhh, my little ones need me! Papa's comin' for ya! There there, little one. I would never abandon you. We're family now! And we're gonna be together forever...
Gramble, my love, I'm so sorry...
Wiggle Succumbs
I simply can't stand it anymore! I'm famished! They call me a faded star, but for just this moment I will burn bright again! This is my swan song...and I devote my final ballad to Bugsnax!
Wiggle! Why...why'd you have to go?
*Gramble & Wiggle Survive*
Is it over? Please say it's over. My heart can't take much more of this...
No time for an encore, Gramble dear. We better boogie.
Help Wambus and Triffany![]
Help Wambus and Triffany!
Wambus and Triffany are defending the farm. I need to clear a way through the Bugsnax with Wambus' special sauce.
Objectives:
Help Wambus and Triffany!
Wambus, armed with his garden tools, and Triffany, armed with Cactriffy, fight through an endless wave of Bugsnax emerging from the ground. Wambus is still preoccupied with the idea of defending his garden as a food resource.
GO ON NOW! GIT, GIT, YA VARMINTS!
It's no use, Wamby! Musta learned a few things since the stone age...
Well, what do you want me to do!? I won't let them take my garden!
There's hardly any garden left...
There's enough! I still got my Special Sauce, fresh-grown!
Oh! Good thinkin'!
What? That's not what I meant-
Oh, didn't see ya there! Wouldja mind helpin' out? Just a matter of life and death is all!
*Bugsnax emerge from the soil*
Mighty fine work, Stranger! How's that taste? Darn Bugsnax, get off my lawn! All right!
Goodness! Oh, they're history. You really taught ‘em a lesson. Hoho!
More pests! There's a whole mess of 'em! They're comin' outta the ground!
Keep an eye out! Another batch of Snax! It's not over yet!
*Attempt to Leave Battle Area*
Don't you wander off, Stranger, git back here!
We're not runnin' away just yet!

I'm starvin'! Git over here, ya varmints! I'm such a failure... I couldn't even control my hunger. No wonder nobody believed in me.
Wambus! You...you big dumb fool...
*Triffany Succumbs*
No sense delayin' the inevitable. This is the end, yeah? I was gonna end up here one way or another. Not that it matters anyhow... The only thing that matters out here is Bugsnax.
Triffy? No, that...that can't be...
*Wambus & Triffany Survive*
That's about as big a break as we're gonna get. C'mon, Wamby, it's now or never!
I gave it my best. Alright, Triffy, let's go home.
Escape From Snaktooth![]
Escape From Snaktooth!
The balloon is ready! I just need to get on it before Snaktooth Island explodes![5]
Objectives:
Get on the balloon!
*Everyone survived*
Okay, we're all here! Though I think the balloon needs another minute...
*Plenty survived*
Is this really everybody? What happened!?
*Little survived*
Is this really everybody? What happened!?
Ah. Never mind! We gotta get on board, NOW! Come on! Come on! We're not gonna make it!
Lizbert & Eggabell come in last-minute to protect the boat from the Legendary Bugsnax and wave off the departing Expedition Team.
Thanks, Liz...Egg...
Trivia[]
Filbo and The Journalist are guaranteed survivors.
If anyone succumbs, their creditart will not appear in the credits. Filbo's credit art will neither appear, Clumby Clumbernut's conversation with "The Mysterious Voice" will not get triggered and no Strabby will come out from the boat.
The title card when entering Snaxburg from Garden Grove while this mission takes place reads "Escape from Snaktooth" instead of its usual "Snaxburg".
The Lunchpad is the only tool to have not been altered in function or power. The Sauce Slinger is neither but comes with a special type of Battle exclusive sauce.
References & Notes[]
↑There is no radio contact with Filbo during the battle and how Filbo can lead them all back is not shown or explained - they would not have trouble to find the balloon on their own and the run towards it the moment their area is cleared.
↑In some cases the game speaks of an 'upgrade' but the tool is changed instead of improved.
↑Not present in game, line is found in the text files.
↑Snorpy is the furthest snakified Grump upon meeting, requires further snakification for his Main Quest and his Side Quest is most likely to be missed by non-completionary players as Snorpy does not roam the center of Snaxburg ever in his day/night cycle.
↑The artwork implies Filbo is on the battlefield but is actually fueling the balloon.
