The Hut |
Mail is a game feature introduced as per The Isle of BIGsnax. The Journalist receives their own Mail Box in which the inhabitants of Snaxburg can approach with additional remarks to completing their Main Quests and Side Quests or request a favor, which is to be considered a type of Quest on its own. Completing Main Quests, Side Quests and Mail Quests are rewarded with an item that can be put in the Journalist's hut.
Where Main Quests are mandatory and Side Quest are optional yet vital - Mail Quests or Mail in general is entirely optional and non-vital. The Journalist can just leave their Mail Box untouched, stacked full of letters and gifts, and it matters none. The content of the letters or the concept of the mail itself is never mentioned outside of the cutscenes tied to the build of The Journalist's Hut, the latter having the same treatment. As DLC, no effort was made to truly incorporate it into the rest of the game and implication of such is simply tacked on without actual weight and/or consequence.[1]
Mail Quests
There are a total of 13-14 types of Mail Quests/Rewards differentiated in the files. Mail variations are 'hosted' by certain Grumpus groups and, when 'hosted' by Filbo, it will hold as many different Grumpuses as there are letters in that variation.(The section names are unofficial, adjusted for clarity and/or fun.)
- Complete Main Quests, in the files referred to as Return to camp, are letters received after the completion of a Grumpuses' Main Quest.
- Complete Side Quests, in the files referred to as Sidequest Complete, are letters received after the completion of a Grumpuses' Side Quest.
- Lost Item are fetch(re)quests, one per Grumpus, where they lost an item somewhere out in the field and the Journalist is to figure out where they lost it from description and/or knowing where the character previously resides; where you met them.
- Bug Collector, in the files referred to as All bugs from biome, require you to catch all individual Bugsnax in a certain Biome. If you have already done so prior to this quest, the reward will appear immediately after opening the quest letter and the next letter upon opening the mailbox is the response letter.
- (Gramble's) Donation Request, in the files referred to as Barn Donation, are requests from Gramble to receive a specific Bugsnax donation for him to take care of at his barn.
- (Shelda's) Donation Request, in the files referred to as Shelda Donation, are requests from Shelda to receive a specific Bugsnax donation to be purged by the mother. This results in Shelda's further snakification.
- Filbo's Mail Fail, in the files referred to as Hidden Feeds - Filbo dropped mail he was gathering from the others in the river and now their messages are unreadable. The Journalist must decipher from 3 words who the request comes from and what they want - they all request to be fed a Bugsnak.
- Snax Snap, in the files referred to as Scan Bugsnax - Beffica & Triffany request a specified Bugsnak to be captured on camera in a certain situation. The requests are a bit more complex as they require knowledge of Bugsnax behaviourism and their environment to be fulfilled.
- Build-a-Grump, in the files referred to as Transform Challenges, are experimental Snakification request by Cromdo, Floofty or Wiggle. They requests any Grumpus (which is coded to include themselves[2]) to be snakified with certain variant or theme of Bugsnax. Cromdo wants to create mascot looks, Floofty wants to do scientific observations and Wiggle would like to create fashion trends.
- Safety Check, in the files referred to as Physical Challenges[3], which seems to be a mix-up with the following mail collection of Chandlo & Snorpy. Eggabell provides the Journalist with safety advice, which they either like to rebel against and/or interpret as a challenge, much to the doctor's concern.
- Physical Challenges, in the files referred to as Safety Check, which seems to be a mix-up with the previous mail collection, has Snorpy and Chandlo challenge the Journalist to tasks of higher caliber.
- Mailstones, in the files referred to as Milestones, are letters received after the completion of a Story Event.
- Snaxburg Spies, in the files referred to as Snaxburg Activities, are "secret" letters unlocked when doing a particular action that someone of the expedition team will notice. Among the letters is a unique case of a request from Cromdo that comes with a one-time minigame event within Snaxburg and an aftermath where Wambus has noticed its results.
- Mystery Mail, in the files referred to as Secret Challenges, are letters of unknown origin from unknown sources - none of which come from the expeditionees whose whereabouts are known. The senders sign their sole letter with a single initial.

Buddy, I need your help!
I was strolling through Snaxburg when I slipped on a Banopper and sent my sack of laundry flying! It's stuck up high, could you help me get it down? |
Thanks for getting my laundry back!
I guess I really oughta watch my step from now on... but hey, at least I wasn't holding anything flammable this time[4], haha! | |||
| |||||
|
Well, Stranger, I'm in a bind.
I was gatherin' fertilizer in the Flavor Falls when a Lollive scooped it right outta my paws and flew off! Could you help me find it? |
Much obliged, Stranger, I'll make good use of that fertilizer.
To be honest, I feel bad for the Lollive that took it. I wouldn't want my tongue anywhere near that stuff. | |||
| |||||
|
Hey, Bestie~ I know you just love to do me favors, so could you help me get my bag back?
I lost it in the trees near my cave. What's in it? How'd I lose it? Find it and maybe I'll tell you. ;0) |
Omg, thanks for finding my dice bag!
I was playing games in the cave by myself when a Fryder tried to climb in the window. I panicked and threw my bag at it (and missed lol)! | |||
| |||||
|
Darling, I'm in trouble.
I was walking the beach with a sack of my old Grummpy Awards (like I do), when I was struck with a powerful wave! I shook it off, but my awards were carried out to sea! |
Darling, thank you so much!
With my Grummpy Awards, I can prop up my instruments and hold doors open again! They're not good for much else. | |||
| |||||
|
Sorry to bother ya, but couldja help me out with somethin'?
My bag o' bones wound up on very tippy top of the Frosted Peak! I'd be so grateful if you could climb up there and grab it! |
Thanks for getting my bones back!
I was admirin' the view from up there when I slipped and slid right off. I hope while you were on top, you also took a moment to enjoy the sights! | |||
| |||||
|
I was out in the desert the other day, when a Spuddy tackled me outta nowheres!
Tossed me clear up to the tallest rock in Scorched Gorge! I couldn't get down without leavin' behind my big sack of paints. Could ya help me out, pal? |
Hey hey, you got my paints back!
Nice job climbin' all them rocks, that takes a lotta muscles I ain't got. Not like I plan to bulk up, but I at least gotta figure out how to be less tossable. | |||
| |||||
|
Bro, can you do me a favor?
I was workin' out with my weighted gym bag, when I flexed too hard and yeeted it across the jungle! I think it's on top of the temple, but I dunno how to get it down. |
Awesome, Bro, you found my weights!
I'll try to control my muscles better so I don't yeet anything else. Snorpy made me stop training in Snaxburg cuz I made so many holes in our roof... | |||
| |||||
|
I may need your help again, chum.
I've planted a Grumpinati monitoring device inside of a discreet sack, but the location I left it in is SO secure that I can't seem to, aha, get it down. |
Excellent work retrieving my device!
Unfortunately, I've only managed to capture sounds of Chandlo's basketball practice. I really need to choose better hiding places... | |||
| |||||
|
Once again, I require your assistance.
While studying the volcano, I severely misplaced a bag of substance which you would likely prefer I not describe. Retrieve it for me, please. |
You've obtained my bag. Very good work!
Unfortunately, the material inside was destroyed by prolonged contact with lava. Fortunately, you were not. That is QUITE interesting... | |||
| |||||
|
One is in dire need!
A precious gift, a pouch of pungent herbs, lost to the Sizzling Sands. One's attempts to knock down the Cheese Sauce ending in tragedy... |
The Mother's light shines upon you, who finds all that is lost.
With these herbs, One will maintain a sense of...regularity. (Don't eat any yourself if you ever plan to visit the outhouse again). | |||

Stranger, I need yer help.
I'm surveyin' the Flavor Falls for a new farmin' spot, but I need to know all the pests I gotta watch out for. Could you catch every sort of Bugsnax that lives out there? |
Much obliged, Stranger.
Seein' all the snax you caught in Flavor Falls, I'm thinkin' I shouldn't farm there after all. Those Green Lollives are a grumpin' menace. | |||
|
Heeey Bestie! I've been itching to take another look at your Bugapedia.
Have you caught every kind of Snak in Garden Grove? Really all of them? If you have, let me know ;0) |
Omg, you caught everything in Garden Grove!
You even found a few I've never seen before. Cobhoppers are so weird lol, thanks for sharing! <3 | |||
|
Darling, I feel like I left Simmering Springs a little too soon.
What if there's a muse hiding there among the Snax I didn't see? I would be delighted if you could catch everything there, just in case! |
Sensational work, Darling!
Now that I can see all the stars of Simmering Springs, surely something will spring to mind. Tropicabug... Snaquiri... Waffstackarak... there's gotta be a rhyme there somewhere... | |||
|
I believe that there are more Bugsnax in Boiling Bay that could be of use to me.
I require a comprehensive survey of the Snak population. Or in baby language: YOU CATCH ALL SNAX IN BAY. |
Very good, there were indeed more Snax in Boiling Bay than I had witnessed.
This Megamaki intrigues me. How does it fly? How does it command its followers? Perhaps I could replicate those abilities... | |||
|
Hey, Pal, I got an opportunity for yas!
Scorched Gorge has big potential; I bet there's a Bugsnak there as merchandisable as Bunger! Why don't you catch 'em all and help me find out? |
Nice work! I took a look at all them Snax in Scorched Gorge.
BBQ Bunger's too on the nose, Ribblepede and Spuddy freak me out... But Poptick, now THAT could be our Popticket to fortune, heheh! | |||
|
Listen well, Child, for dangers lurk unseen within the Sizzling Sands.
Only by capturing each and every toxin can One truly overcome them. Go forth with the blessing of The Mother. |
One is grateful for your efforts in the Sizzling Sands.
Now that One knows of such delicious toxins as Scorpepper and Bombino, One is better prepared to never ever ever eat them. | |||
|
Be wary, Chum, something is amiss in Sugarpine Woods.
I've seen a strange creature among the trees...and I can't be sure it's a Bugsnak. Could you catch everything in the area to help me compare? |
Thank you, Chum, for catching all of the Bugsnax in Sugarpine Woods.
As I suspected, none of them match the shape of what I saw. I may need to build some new traps... | |||
|
I was out studying some ancient maps of Frosted Peak, and I found a list of Bugsnax I don't recognize!
Would ya mind catching everything up there so we can compare notes? |
Thanks for catchin' all of the Snax in Frosted Peak!
Turns out the ancient list matches up to yours pretty well...aside from Aggroll, which doesn't show up at all! Where are those actually from, then? | |||
|
Bro, are you ready to challenge yourself?
The Bugsnax on Broken Tooth are the biggest, strongest ones I've ever seen. If you wanna reach your peak, you should catch all of 'em! |
Nice, bro, you pushed your limits and conquered the Snax of Broken Tooth.
Now there's no challenge you can't face! You are the master of your destiny, daaawwwg!! |

I saw a Picantis lose a fight to a Flapjackarak, and a small Bugsnak popped out of it!
I've never seen one of them anywhere else! Could you donate whatever that was to my barn? |
Tacroach, that's it for sure!
It's as small and cute as a Strabby but made of meat. I can't wait to introduce it to the others. Thanks! | |||
|
I saw a Snak the other day that I just loved on sight, and I was hoping you could add it to my barn!
I don't know what it was called, but it looked like a big heart flying in the sky! |
Lovely Sweetiefly, that's the one!
Oooh, a heart-shaped bug is bound to be the most loving of them all. Thanks! | |||
|
When I was living in Simmering Springs, I sometimes saw a Snak that hid in the bushes and wouldn't come out no matter what!
I'd love to see what it is if you could find one (and donate it)! |
Ooh, a Tropicabug!
It's just like a Shishkabug but with a tangy sea scent. Thank you so much! | |||
|
Whenever I'm in the forest, I get startled by a Bugsnak that jumps from tree to tree, but it's so fast I don't even know what it is!
Even so, I'd love to have one in my barn, please. |
You got me a Cobhopper!
Ooh, it can hardly stay still long enough to get a big Gramble hug. Thank you! | |||
|
I was hoping you might donate another Snak soon.
Something that flies around in the desert, but isn't sweet, or meaty, or any kind of Cheepoof. If you can think of something that fits, please send it my way! |
A Black Lollive, it's perfect!
The tongue's a little much, but it's cute in its own way. Thank you so much! | |||
|
If it's no trouble, I was looking for another donation!
A fruity Snak that loves the cold but isn't frosty...and isn't so evasive neither. If you find one, please add it to the family! |
Cheery, it's just what I wanted!
Aww, and with its adorable bouncing, this lil' guy can always cheer me up. Thank you!! | |||
|
Last night, I saw a pattern in my dreams...or could be it was an old memory.
It looked like a pattern on a tablecloth. Is there a Bugsnak that looks like that? Could you donate one?? |
BBQ Bunger! It...it looks like the cloth my mom used to put out for Sunday picnics.
Oh Grump, I gotta go, I got tears pouring outta my eyeballs. Thank you so muuuuuch- | |||
|
I keep havin' this nightmare where Chandlo picks me up, shakes me, and shouts 'GO FOR THE GOLD'.
Is he talking about a Bugsnak? Maybe if you donate the right one, the nightmares will stop. |
Golden Kweeble!! It's like Charwee but better!
Thank you very much...though that didn't stop the nightmares, cuz it turns out those're real! Chandlo just keeps shaking me awake. | |||
|
I've been thinking about another Snak I'd love to have in my barn.
It'd be like a Strabby, but...different? Not a Razzby, that's too different. Does that make sense? |
Of course, White Strabby!
It's perfect cuz it's exactly like Strabby but not TOO exactly. Thank you very much! | |||
|
I've got some extra room in my barn, and for once I know how I wanna fill it!
I heard about all these special 'legendary' Snax, and I'd be so so happy if you'd donate one of each to my barn!! |
Ooooh, you did it, you got me all the legendary Snax!
I can't thank you enough! Now I can't decide which one I love the most...so I'll just have to love them all!! | |||
|
One has seen a vision of a toxin to be purged!
Red as rubies...a deviously adorable fruit...skittering across the sand. Offer this fiend to the Box of Purity! |
Ah yes, Razzby was purged by The Mother's light.
You have done well in interpreting this vision, my child. No longer will these succulent Snax plague One's thoughts. | |||
|
Once more a toxin appears in One's visions.
Pacing along stone walls...a wicked tail...raining fiery doom on all who trespass! Purge this toxin in the light of Mother Naturae! |
Once more The Path is clear!
Thank you for purging that Scorpepper...or was it Scorpenyo? There are so many Bugsnax, one can hardly keep track. The Mother cares not for such details anyway. | |||
|
One is plagued with a vision!
Scuttling beneath the surface...where fire meets water...emerald claws seizing buried treasures. Purge this toxin in the Box of Purity! |
One thanks you for purging the execrable Green Crapple.
Delicious *ahem* devious as it is, One would not mind if you purged another two or three of those... | |||
|
Another toxin appears in One's visions.
A warrior clad in golden armor...it carries a heavy load...yet charges forth at all of its foes. This toxin must be found and purged! |
Very good, my child, Loaded Spuddy has been purified within the box.
One thought the 'golden armor' part might have thrown you off, but nevertheless The Mother's will has been enacted. | |||
|
Take heed, child, for one last vision remains to be purged.
In a land both ancient and yet renewed...it lurks above in tangled branches...its prey dangling by a thread. Offer this toxin to the box! |
At last Spaghider has been purged, a most ancient foe to The Mother's path!
Bless you, child, for your devotion. Surely the visions will now cease. (My heartburn can't take much more at this point.) |

Oh no, Buddy!
I was going to deliver some letters from the others asking for Bugsnax to eat, but I dropped them all in the river!! Even though it's smudged, can you figure out who it's from? '-----like-----totes-----Instabug------' |
OMG, me and Instabug are totes selfie buddies!
Or we would be, if I didn't eat it already lol. Thanks Bestie! PS I saw Filbo beef it in the river, good thing you know me so well ~ ;0) | |||
|
I saved another letter from the river, Buddy!
Any idea who might've written this one? '---------Baja Tacroach----------healthy--------training----' |
Broooo, thanks for feedin' me that Baja Tacroach!
I wanted a Tacroach but I heard seafood is waaay healthier, so BAM, best of both worlds. | |||
|
Okay Buddy, I've got a request letter back from the bottom of the river.
It's still a little soggy, but you can make it out, right? '------classified---------Aggroll------' |
Brilliant! You've deciphered my coded language and fed an Aggroll to me, Snorpington Fizzlebean.
Why did I want it, you are probably asking? Ah, chum, I am afraid that is still classified! | |||
|
Buddy, I found another wet letter on the river bank!
At least it's not totally destroyed, right? I'm sure you've got it handled! '----sign------Flamin' Cheepoof------opportunity---------' |
Hey hey, nice work!
There's nothin' quite like a Flamin' Cheepoof to put a fire in my belly, and a burn in my heart. Just...keep clear of the outhouse tomorrow, would ya pal? | |||
|
Well Buddy, I scooped another letter out of the river.
Can you figure out who to feed? '--------wrangle-------Caramel Poptick--------cactus----' |
Much obliged, Stranger.
Ya might not reckon, but Caramel Poptick is Cactriffy's favorite Bugsnak. Don't tell non-cactus-Triffy. |

Omg, Chandlo keeps telling me that Hunnabees will steal his basketballs.
That sounds hilarious, but I've never seen it happen! Could you scan a Hunnabee with a ball stuck to it? " |
Nice scan!
I showed it to Chandlo, and he spent the rest of the day trying to chase down that Hunnabee. Lol thanks Bestie! ;0) | |||

|
According to my research, Shy Weenyworms just can't stand ketchup!
I kinda wanna see how much exactly... Would you please scan a Shy Weenyworm that's got ketchup on it?" |
Oh wow, once there's ketchup on 'em those Weenyworms are anything *but* Shy!
I'm just glad I saw that from a safe distance. Thanks for the help! | |||
| |||||
|
Bestie, have you ever heard of a Crapple stack??
That's when a Crapple picks up another Crapple! You should totes make it happen and then scan it! |
Omg, Crapple stacks are hilarious! X0D
I bet you could stack even more Snax if you tried, but this'll do for now.~ | |||

|
Ya know, Floofty's got a theory that BBQ Bunger might secretly be spicy.
I don't think so, but I could use some help provin' it! Would ya kindly scan a BBQ Bunger that's on fire? |
Oh dear, looks like BBQ Bunger can't stand the heat!
I feel bad for the lil' guy, but I guess this means I win my debate with Floofty. | |||
| |||||
|
Bestie, Filbo told me Lollives can pick up a whole Sandopede if they smell cheese on it!
I don't believe him for a second...buuut if it *is* possible, you should totes scan it! |
Way to prove me wrong, I guess Lollive tongues are stronger than they look!
That's kinda gross but whatevs. I wonder if they could even fly off with Filbo lol! | |||
| |||||
|
Some folks think Preying Picantis is the big cheese of Sizzling Sands, but that's just a common misconception.
If you could scan a Flapjackarak givin' a Picantis the windy business, I'd sure appreciate it! |
Would ya look at that, Flapjackarak is the desert's head honcho for sure!
Some farmers around here really oughta listen to their wives more often, huh? | |||
| |||||
|
It looks like the Desert Grumpuses might've used Sodies as an ancient form of irrigation!
Could you try that out with the old farm in Garden Grove? And please scan what happens so I can show Wamby! |
Ope, it just occured to me that sprayin' crops with sugar water might not be the best idea.
Well, thanks for tryin' and...maybe let's not show Wamby after all? | |||
| |||||
|
Omg Bestie, I tried eating a Stewdler but it was way too hot for me!
Can they, like, even *be* cold? You should freeze a Stewdler and scan it and show me ;0) |
Great job, Bestie!
Though after you scanned this, I tried eating a frozen Stewdler and I almost chipped a tooth!! Ugh, if only I had a Stewdler that was just right... | |||
| |||||
|
Salutations Bestie.
You are likely aware that Grapeskeetos 'totes' suction liquid from fruity Bugsnax. I am curious if they would also do this to a Noodler. You must scan this process in action. Wink emoji. |
Ah, very good to know that a Grapeskeeto can be made savory.
Though in retrospect, the 'broth' in Noodlers is not a liquid. Thank you for assisting me, Beffica, in this task. Heart emoji. | |||

I've been wonderin' lately, could a Pinkle wear an Aggroll's box?
I'm thinkin' the two might be related! How it all works I couldn't tell ya, but if you could scan Pinkle wearin' a box, that'd be a big help. |
Oh, that's real interestin'!
Pinkles and Aggrolls can swap shells no problem. So what are the shells made of then? Are they even Bugsnax? I betcha Floofty's gonna wanna hear about this. | |||

Are you ready for the future, friend?
Cuz I got a scheme that's gonna knock yer socks off! Here's what you gotta do: pick a Grumpus and give 'em Sodie limbs! One of each type oughta do it. |
Ahhh, nice work on that Sodie Grumpus.
Doesn't seein' that just make ya thirsty? Of course it does, that's mobile marketing baby!! I'm gonna be rich (and also you maybe)! |

Darling, I think Snaxburg could stand to be a little more fashionable, no?
Here's a look I'd love to see: a Grumpus rocking all four types of Peelbug! Please make it happen. |
Ah, darling, you're an inspiration as always!
Seeing all those Peelbug slices in vibrant colors, it just brings a splash of style to this drab little town! |
||||
|
Snakpods are unusual in that their transformations do not resemble their exteriors.
I am curious if transforming a Grumpus with every variety will have a likewise unique effect. |
Thank you for your cooperation.
Survey Note: Upon transforming into Snakpods, subject appeared laconic and lacking in mobility. Unfortunately, this is ordinary behavior post-lunch. |
||||
|
You hear that sound, pal? That's the breakfast bell a-callin'!
And with it comes another opportunity: Turn a Grumpus into three breakfasty pastry-themed Bugsnax! Why? Why not find out! |
Great job, pal!
Now picture a breakfast Grumpus walkin' outta yer local Snax cafe. And you think 'what, they got breakfast now!? I gotta try that!' It practically sells itself! |
||||
|
Darling, I hear Sweetieflies are in fashion this season!
If you're up for playing stylist, I'd say any Grumpus would be lucky to have parts made of all four flavors. |
You'd think the colors on these Sweetieflies would clash, but together their vibe is harmoniously sweet!
Wonderful work, darling! |
||||
|
Compound Bugsnax are those which can split into smaller Bugsnax.
Does that property extend to us? Transform a Grumpus with three compound Bugsnax, and we may find the answer. |
Disappointingly, compound Bugsnax transformations do not lead to spontaneous limb generation.
Irrational as I know it is to do so, I blame you. |
||||
|
You know what everybody loves, pal? Chocolate!
So here's my next scheme: Turn a Grumpus into eight kinds of chocolatey Bugsnax. As long as there's chocolate somewheres in 'em, it counts! |
Ha ha ha, you did it, pal!
A Grumpus made of delicious, irresistable chocolate! Wait, how was I gonna make money off-a this again? ... Eh, now I'm hungry, I'll figure it out later. |
||||
|
Darling, I've thought of just the thing to brighten somebody's day:
turn them into thirteen different fruity Bugsnax! Oh, I can almost see it now, the fashion statement of the century! |
Encore, encore, I'm simply blown away!
Thanks to your masterwork, the all-fruit look is destined to be a hit! Of course, we're all a little fruity around here, darling! |
||||
|
Transform any Grumpus into thirteen varieties of cheese-related Bugsnax.
Any amount of cheese within the Bugsnak will be sufficient. This request is for science and for no other reason. |
Thank you for participating in this survey of the perceptual effect of dairy-adjacent transformations on the ventral striatum.
Result: Cheese looks objectively hilarious. |
Interview Eggabell pt.2! follows up from Interview Eggabell!. Using the Mail, Eggabell send a letter through Filbo, the latter having been acting as a mailman. Like all other Grumpuses, as part of her Main Quest completion, she sends a gratitude/apologetic letter to the Journalist, inviting them to have another Interview, now a proper one. After having received her outro letter, Eggabell starts sending safety advice letters warning the Journalist of certain dangers. The Journalist takes the advice as challenges, much to the doctor's distress.

Hey. I'm sorry if I was cold to you before.
I know you've been interviewing everybody, so if you've got more questions for me, come see me on Frosted Peak. *Sent via Filbo!* |
Thanks for taking the time to talk to me.
I hate to admit it, but I'm pretty lonely up here and it feels nice to just talk. Take care of yourself, alright? *Sent via Filbo!* |
||||
|
Be sure to watch yourself around aggressive Bugsnax.
If you're not careful, they can knock you right off a cliff! Make sure never to do that, okay? *Sent via Filbo!* |
You're lucky you weren't seriously injured getting attacked like that!
Do you have enough medical supplies at home? I gave Filbo as many as I could spare!! *Sent via Filbo!* |
||||
| ||||||
|
Grumpuses are relatively fireproof, but don't push your luck!
You should be able to recover from burns easily, unless you stay on fire for more than thirty seconds. But who would do that? *Sent via Filbo!* |
Are you alright!?
It's a wonder you got out of that fire with only first degree burns. Any longer and you'd suffer swelling, blisters, and permanent hair loss! *Sent via Filbo!* |
||||
| ||||||
|
Watch your step when climbing around, okay?
I've seen you take a lot of falls, but there has to be a height that even you can't fall from! Seriously, be careful!! *Sent via Filbo!* |
My Grump, what are your bones made of!?
Either you're indestructible or gravity doesn't bother with you. *Sent via Eggabell herself, who is very worried about you!* |
||||
| ||||||
|
It's important to your health to have a varied diet!
Nobody should live on Bungers alone. I'd say a Grumpus should eat at least 25 different kinds of Bugsnax. *Sent via Filbo!* |
Okay, when I said you should feed a Grumpus 25 Bugsnax, I didn't mean all at once!
You're going to put everybody in the hospital at this rate. *Sent via Filbo!* |

Bro, Liz once told me she could catch three different kinds of Bugsnax in her Snak Trap at the same time!
Shame I never saw her do it...Think you can show me how it's done, dawg? |
Catching three Snax at once, that is SICK, bro!
I mean, with all the setup it takes, it's prolly faster to just catch 'em one at a time...but hey, greatness ain't ever easy! | |||
The specific statement is 'three different kinds' - hence catching a bundle of Wee Mewon in Mama Mewon's Resevoir does not count. Putting the Snak Trap next to Scoopy Banoopy and Picantis, which are made up of three different types on Snax, will likely lead to the trap being destroyed on impact as timing requires absolute precision. The largest bug diversity potential on a small scale is found in Daddy Cakelegs' Cave: melt all the freezed Bugsnax and lure Scoopy Banoopy into the cave. Its attacks do not launch Bugsnax but instead stun them. The most likely combination of Snax caught will be Pinkle, Aggroll and Baby Cakelegs. | |||||

Ah, Chum, I could use your help stress-testing the Snakgrappler.
It excells at snatching Snakpods, so if you could catch five of them in under thirty seconds, that'd be stupendous! |
Brilliant work, you've nabbed those Snakpods in record time!
Though I suppose this was less a test of the Snakgrappler than your sprinting ability. Either way, you have my thanks! | |||
Every Snaktooth biome hosts five Snakpods and require all to be caught to be 'reset' within that biome, so first make sure all Snakpods are present. The best location to collect them all is Garden Grove as the Biome is small and calm. | |||||
|
I may need your help with another stress test, chum!
I want to gauge the adaptability of the Snak Trap and Trip Shot, so please catch five types of Bugsnax in under sixty seconds! |
Splendid, you've managed to catch a plethora of Snax in quick succession without a single trap switching to kill mode!
N-not that they ever had one, a-and they certainly don't anymore! | |||
The specific statement is 'five different types', meaning multiple Snakpods or Wee Mewon will not work. There are many biomes and combinations to achieve this goal. | |||||
|
Well, chum, I have quite a task for you.
The ultimate test of your agility and my engineering! Do you think you can catch ten Bugsnax within ninety seconds? For both our sakes, I hope you can! |
I can hardly believe it, ten Bugsnax caught in the blink of an eye!
We make a fine team, chum! Between your speed and my brains, no Snak on this island will evade capture. | |||
The task simply requests ten Bugsnax, meaning they may be of the same kind. There are many biomes and combinations to achieve this goal. Suggestion: Flavor Falls, catch the Rootle and Strabby, trip the Sandopede (4 Bugsnax), trip and catch the Pinkle's and launch the trap to Lollive. |

Aside Snaburg, each biome hold one or more options to sleep, with the exception of Flavor Falls. For a powernap, you need to sleep near the time you are scheduling yourself to get up. | |||||

Hey, pal, business at Cromdo Mart's been a bit slow lately.
I've been makin' posters for a big advertisin' blast, but I need a patsy-I mean a partner to help put 'em up! Whaddya say? |
Nice work with them posters, pal.
I can see my mug in every direction...I'm practically inescapable! Soon the other Grumps will be linin' up to get the best and only deals in Snaxburg! | |||
| |||||
|
Well Stranger, all them Cromdo Mart posters blew off the walls, and now there's trash all over Snaxburg.
Seein' as this is partly yer doin', you best pick up after yerself. |
Thanks for rightin' what you done wrong.
Next time Cromdo litters up this town, I'm gonna warm up my throwin' arm. | |||

How did these letters get into your mailbox?

References & Notes
- ↑ Mail was added as a way to have more character content without having to record voices. The DLC's character roster is fully based on what Voice Actors were available.
- ↑ Despite the possibility to Snakify the Grumpus in question, the request itself and description thereof asks for anyone other than the task-giver to be subjected to the "test". The outro letters imply an observance to the subject. With the games' implications to be wary of snakification, it becomes morally warped to fulfill the task, if not subjecting the task-giver themself, and odd the Journalist would help them. In Floofty's case, Grumps have stated to not want to be subjected to Floofty's experiments - hence Floofty decided to test on themself instead.
- ↑ The Journalist interprets Eggabell's advice as physical challenges, making this mix-up fitting.
- ↑ Filbo is referring to the described scene in the trailer where he set the town ablaze, again, because he lacked motorics due to Snakfication.
- ↑ While it states Scorpenyo OR Scorpepper, the request will only be fulfilled with a donation of both of them.
- ↑ The quest will be automatically fullfilled (likely after having caught a Caramel Poptick in general; check needed). The coding seems to assume Wambus has been fed with the Bugsnak before, which is peculiar as he does not require feeding in his main- or side quest nor donation to his garden of this Bugsnak.
- ↑ While this letter is "signed by Beffica" and even rewards a Beffica-like item, the letter is clearly written by one pretending to be Beffica, putting her word-use in quotations. It all point towards Floofty; the location, mannerism in speech and the subtle patronizing gift of a 'kiddie pool' (Floofty's to-go insult is that of calling someone a child). If the item is stolen from Beffica or if Floofty touched upon it making it more Beffica-like is unknown. It shows Floofty has been observing Beffica and the Journalist's relationship with her. Why Floofty felt the need to resort to trickery seems to point to aspects of them not shown further in their character writing; a need to deceive or to intimidate or desperation for the Journalist's aid.
- ↑ This Task is listed under "Physical Challenges" in the files but due to its unprompted nature it is more fitting to be put within this section.
- One can already receive mail from grumpuses you have yet to meet if one fulfills a quest. For example, if you remove the toilet rolls from the toilet, Cromdo will send you a mail without the need to have been met. (check needed)
- One can already fulfill a quest without having been assigned to it, such as Lost Item mail quests; the sacks are already in the biome.
