About this item

These brightly-coloured insects are known for their gumption, hypnotic glow, and their uniquely inspirational flavour! They are a favourite of the Grub Gatherer mice who dig them up along the shores of the Prologue Pond. Unbeknownst to them however, these grubs can be made into a special type of cheese that is a very alluring bait when fishing in the shallower parts of the pond.

This is the main ingredient necessary for creating Grubbeen Cheese.
