Gruffs

**Gruffs** are the main antagonistic faction of Farmed and Ready, being the evil servants of King Louie Grufftenhouser the II. Lorewise, they were a failed scientific experiment in which French Scientists from the 1940s attempted to mutate a bacteria into vicious, mindless soldiers. It worked and birthed **The First Gruff**, who would later become **King of the Gruff Empire**. They cannot create true happiness on their own, and must farm and steal happiness from the Humans.

## Appearance

Gruffs bare humanoid, dark purple bodies, coupled with long fingers from which the tips turn into claws. They have a giant fluffy head of Purple hair and have bright red eyes, no visible nose, and sharp teeth. They mumble a series of grunts and groans, dubbed "**Grufftenese"**. Most of the Gruffs slouch.

The majority of Gruffs are impoverished, making most of them look thin and boney.

## Physical Features and Abilities

### Strength

Gruffs have significantly stronger base strength than that of a human, allowing them to overpower them in a fight.

### Coordination

Despite their low intelligence, they are well coordinated and synchronized, effortlessly combining different aspects of different Gruff's abilities to defeat their enemy.

### Durability

Gruffs have been shown to be able to take more bullets to the body than a human, and their bushes of hair atop their head make headshots nearly impossible with bullets, with the bullets just getting caught in the hair.

## Human to Gruff Conversion

The Gruffs have the terrifying ability to convert the body of any human or animal they want into a Gruff. By inflicting a bite onto a human, the human will begin to transform into a Gruff version of the person. They will mostly retain their victim's clothes, as well as certain physical features. If a Gruff is hit with the force of a semi-truck, the newly cloned Gruff will be expelled from their victim's body, but will usually survive. If the sunlight touches a Gruff clone, it will explode into dust.

## Weaknesses

### Food

All Gruffs have a **vicious allergy** to **vegetables and otherwise healthy food**. The Farmers large range of crop-related soldiers gave them an upper hand against the Gruffs.

### Country Music

Country Music is used to dispel the Gruffs from reclaimed area by the Farmers. They say it makes them want to rip their hair out.

### Sunlight

Sunlight greatly weakens pure-blood Gruffs, and **Kills** **Gruff Clones**.

## Lore

Gruffs were mutated into the form they are today from a bacteria found inside a meteor, **technically making them** **aliens**. The meteor was located somewhere from within Northern France in 1941 and taken to a laboratory for testing and experimentation. After Scientists saw how Gruffs would turn earth bacteria into Gruff bacteria, they decided to make them into super soldiers, with the ability of turning enemies into their own. While it worked, they could not control the Gruffs, and they began to spread throughout Europe.

When **The First Gruff** created the Gruff Empire and united the Gruffs,

## Trivia

The Gruff's ability to transform humans into Gruff Clones was inspired by Agent Smith's similar ability in The Matrix Reloaded.

Originally, Gruffs were simply just a head with black arms and legs, but this was changed to full bodies because the original Gruffs seemed lackluster and empty. It was also changed so Gruffs could have more variety in their outfits.

The tattered, grey shorts most basic Gruffs wear were originally beige and stainless with a belt, this was changed to put emphasis on the Gruff's rabid, uncontrollable nature.

Gruffs originally ate hearts to get their source of happiness, but the creator changed it because he wanted to distance himself from how much inspiration he was getting from Plants Vs Zombies.

Stronger Gruffs would've worn pumpkins and melons to show if a Gruff was stronger or not, this was changed for several reasons, one being the creator trying to distance himself from how much inspiration he was getting from Plants Vs Zombies, but the other being how this goes against the Gruff's allergic reaction to healthy food.
