== History ==
==== Childhood ====
Grug was born to an unnamed father in the outskirts of the greater Ahhh! Valley region, lying within Crood Canyon.The Croods [Novel] (2013) When he was young, his father constantly tried to instill self-sufficiency on Grug, constantly using the phrase "Do it yourself, or die trying", as well as "Never not be afraid".
When Grug was young, his father forced him to survive alone in the forest by himself to prove he had self sufficiency. At some point while Grug was young, his father died, leaving him alone.127 Owwws [episode], Dawn of the Croods [TV show] (2015)
At some point when Grug was young, during a hot summer day, Grug found a banana hanging from a tree in the valley. Grug ate the banana in one bite and he enjoyed it so much that he would constantly crave another one for decades.The Croods: A New Age [Film] (2020)
==== Meeting Ugga ====
Grug continued following his father's words into his young adulthood, typically staying shut up in his cave unless he needed to find food for himself. This would cause him to be ridiculed by other cavemen who lived in the valley, especially the leader of the local hunting pack, Crom, as they viewed him as a coward.
