 Snorpy has managed to fit every single conspiracy into one paranoid blob.

It would be larger but I ran out of red string!! |
The Grumpinati is a hypothesized secret, powerful organization that would supposedly control many aspects of the workings of modern society and aim for world domination. Their involvement in the public is conspiracy theorist Snorpy Fizzlebean's main focus of concern.
Snorpy has accused popstar Wiggle and his sibling Floofty of being involved with the Grumpinati and has put trackers on them. With Wiggle, he tries to find an explanation of why a world-famous superstar would join them on their trip, either ignoring or being unaware of her ties to Lizbert. Pop music and radio signals are two topics he considers to be part of the Grumpinati. In a conversation, Snorpy accuses Floofty of "working for the man," which Floofty considers is "wasting time on spy games."
Snorpy's conspiracy board[]
Snorpy's conspiracy board is a mindmap of theories and "evidence" that Snorpy assumes to all be connected and traced back to the Grumpinati.
- The center of the board shows a Bugsnax googly-eye version of the Eye of Providence[1] which is commonly used in fiction as a reference to the Illuminati, where it would be their secret symbol.
- Kwookies are shown on the board twice, with a note comparing its top view shape to a gear to fit Snorpy's mechanical theory of Bugsnax, and another comparing its flat circle shape to the Flat Earth theory[2]
- One note shows a sketch of a Cinnasnail pointing towards Chandlo. There is also something crossed out pointing towards a
- either as storytelling or a game 'hint.' It is unclear what is meant by it. - An article on GMO Chemicals; genetically modified organisms. GMO conspiracy theories[3] assume people are controlled, weakened, or killed by their food intake or modified animals they come in contact with. While Snorpy never mentions GMO, he does believe Bugsnax are designed to attract Grumps and their consumption of them, but this does not stop him from eating them. In fact, he believes it is the way to destroy them.
- The "I Want to Believe" poster[4], or rather a referential redraw thereof, popularized by The X-Files[5] is shown on the board. The nature of this poster is not so much fear as melancholic desire for something to be out there - preferably aliens. The X-Files carries this emotion as well as dealing with conspiracies surrounding the truth.
- The article of Grumpfoot, written by the Journalist and their supposed photo evidence, is shown on the board. This is not elaborated on in the game, and the Journalist's cryptozoology is not mentioned in interaction with Snorpy.
Trivia[]
- The Grumpinati is the Bugsnax counterpart to the real-life Illuminati.
