Help Forum ISO playful Grendels    blueseraph      3/28/2014 I hope I'm posting in the right place! I'm looking for either a breed I can download or someone who can very patiently explain to me how or what to tweak to result in a playful Grendel who is still Grendel-like. "Friendlier" is ok, but I'm not looking for one that is basically an ugly Norn In my C3/DS game, a random Grendel egg (just an out of the box Grendel, no Grendel-related additions or modifications of any kind on my part) gave me this awesome, playful, happy guy. He played with EVERYTHING, straight out of the egg, and was always...smiling?? You know that happy face they make, right? I brought him some toys and he was happy playing with those in the jungle, carrying them around, etc. He would hit ettins who approached him, but he didn't leave his habitat and didn't hunt anybody down. I could have kicked myself when he died of old age and I hadn't thought to export or clone him. I've been waiting for another Grendel like him to pop up but, it hasn't happened yet. I checked the breeds for download but none of them sound like just what I'm looking for, though it's possible I'm overlooking something. Any ideas are appreciated! Thank you!   Peppery One Papriko   3/28/2014 Make sure the area does not smell like norn. Even a faint note makes them angry. Then it might work out. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis...

I'm not sure if grabbing his genetics is exactly what you'd like to do, but you should be able to find his moniker in the graveyard and locate it in your directory. Other than that, Papriko's suggestion works! There are a lot of other ways to make a playful/friendly Grendel, but hopefully that will help get you started! Discover Albia   Peppery One Papriko   3/28/2014 Once I was able to keep 2 norns and 1 grendel together in peace by constandly feeding them and keeping them in a room with a good amounts of plants n stuff. They just turned hostile when I tried adding an ettin, but they directly reverted back to their peaceful state once the ettin was smacked to death. The weird part about it is that not only the Banshee, but also the 2 Siamese punched the heck out of the ettin... Tried it 2 or 3 times, every time the same thing. Peaceful till I add the ettin, crush ettin, become peaceful again. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis...

Once the ettin realized things were not okay, and that maybe it should do something, it was probably halfway dead... either way, all it would want to do is run anyway. I had a banshee grendel in my world that was quite nice, and lived with my norns without much incident, it occasionallly would get hit (good thing banshees are tough), but never attacked any norns, it even told the norns to 'hit grendel' if they complained about being angry.

"We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." - Carl Sagan   blueseraph   3/28/2014 I don't still have the world Unfortunately it is one of the first I started and I messed it up pretty good playing around with everything (I'm definitely the learn-by-doing type). That is a great point about norn scent, I didn't think of that! I will try that, thank you! I feel bad for the ettins, I love them but they're pretty much walking punching bags for anyone having a bad day.   Peppery One Papriko   3/29/2014 To find norn scent (and do many other funny things), this baby will be a huge help. I sometimes use it myself to check for certain scents and mess with room types n all. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis...
