Finally!!  A Grunty Food Guide for this game!!

Grunty Foods are found all throughout the game and can be found in different 
areas.  They can be found in fields and in dungeons.  When you walk close enough
to a Grunty Food it will shout its name and start bouncing around until you pick
it up or move away from it.  You can feed these foods to the child grunty in the
grunty ranch in every server except for Delta server.  Depending on what you
feed the child grunty will depend on what kind of adult grunty you get.  This
guide will help you make the grunty you want and help you find the foods you 
need in order to make that grunty.

============================
1.04 Understanding The Guide
============================

Each grunty food has its own terrain and the keywords you enter will depend on 
that terrain.  I have listed a set of keywords for each grunty food, the types 
of fields that they can appear in, where you can find them in the field, 
information on that area, and keywords that will usually take you to a field 
that will have this Grunty Food located there.  If it says "KEYWORD: PART C: 
Fiery Sands" that means that you if you enter in "Fiery Sands" in your keywords 
for part C, you will probably be taken to a field with that Grunty Food located 
there.

Eggs can only be found in dungeons and in certain types of dungeons.
There are 4 types of dungeons in all, Ex. Only Invisible Eggs can only be found
in the Cave Wall dungeon.  But you have to search the dungeon for the Eggs, you
can use a Fairy's Orb to help you.

The Grunty Formulas just tell you what you need to feed the baby grunty in order
for it to transform into that grunty.

==========================
1.05 Grunty Food Locations

NOTE: Some of these keywords may not be available yet for you, if that is the

are available for you.  I tried to make it so that the keywords would be 
available earlier in the game.
