alright lore time about my 4 stone grumpus leader. PLUS SOME ART WOOOO, ill probably do some actually decent art soon but its fun to draw like this when i dont work on big projects.

Huckleford Bettershape [he/him]: The first leader and the first to arrive on broken tooth's shores with a collective group of grumpuses trying to escape the rule of the first queen "Fareson wigglegrump", he is the oldest relative in the Troubleham family tree being an extremely distant relative to the now living Wambus, he was a strong powerful leader and lead the group of grumpuses, after a few good decades of his life he soonly went blind but being the strong never giving up attitude that Wambus would share with his great distant grandfather he would continue to lead even despite his condition crippling him to the point he couldn't leave his own bed for his senses were lacking over the years was still an inspiration for grumps to work hard like him as all he was left to do was give guidance to young grumps, until his passing of old age finally catching up to him.

Merisa Thornwibble [she/her]: The second leader selected by Huckleford himself to take his place once he died, she was a confident leader despite her small size in comparison to the grumps around her and mothered many pups, yet her punishment on those who wronged her, was banishment from the island, she lost sight in one of hers due to an attack caused by another grumpus but she continued not letting it get her down, her death came swiftly then others dying from an infectious plague that spread around the island that grumps would later title it as reginae ultionem. "The queen's revenge" thinking that this was caused by Huckleford leading grumps off mainland snaktooth during the time of Queen Fareson's rule as a curse for betraying her majesty, a plague that revenged through who lived in the dense communities of the island, only few were safe from this plague that managed to retreat to more far lands of broken tooth during these times of sickness, the sickness grew worse in the winter months but surely came to a sudden end, grumps thought of this as a divine blessing from mother naturea.

Laurza Munchbitter [she/her]: The third leader, she wasnt selected to become since Merisa's dying there was no one to take her place without a leader passing on for them to be next, so a group of grumps who called themselves electos saluatores "the chosen saviors" decided to take it into their own paws saying they were able to speak with mother naturea on a close level yet their decisions were for their own gain, gathering 4 grumpuses to undergo a trial, 3 out of the 4 died leaving Laurza left to be crowned leader. But many werent happy with this choice for her mother "Walladay Darnfear" was banished from the land during Merisa's leadership so Laurza was ostracized by her fellow grumps including her own brother seeing her as unworthy to lead and how the electos saluatores got their words wrong picking someone like her to lead, during her time of leadership the island was only in its staring points of becoming unlivable, the tides were seeming to drifting in closer than it was before as small earthquakes shook the ground, her death came in the form of being sacrificed to the undersnax, which had opposed them only for a short time but that would soon come to end, as the snax's grew more aggressive for she was the last sacrifice.

Peeble Mottleshrink [he/they]: The last known leader in the records they had ended the grump sacrifices meaning no more were to keep them at bay, they were one of the only grumpuses who ever trusted Laurza, the two were close and would share secrets with each other, Laurza knowing her time would eventually come to its unfortunate end soon enough gave them the highest power of being the next leader, as Peeble learnt of her death, they felt a great power and was determined to do his dead friend right, Broken tooth was already beginning to fail at that point due to Laurza's leadership never taken seriously making grumpuses turn on eachother, and the amount of earthquakes being more and more frequent then in past years, there was a panic amongst grumps and electos saluatores had to soon disband for how much pressure was being placed on them and their lies were being seen through. With Peebles harsh attitude and deminer they managed to get atleast most grumps to come with him to mainland snaktooth or off to snakless lands, those left at Broken tooth would die due to the island sinking or crushed by the falling rubble, or due to the fact that the bugsnax had gone into a frenzy with no sacrifices for the while Peeble lead.

and now here's a drawing of them all side by side and their heights to each other.
