Grumpus Headcanon: Claws
Some Headcanons about the different types of claws I gave them
Filbo - Normal painted claws that are easy to damage but are quite sharp. These claws retract under the skin of the grumpus.
Wambus - Long claws that are good for digging dirt. It may seem helpful but it can be an annoyance from time to time since he can accidentally scratch himself or other grumpuses. These claws retract halfway and can grow fast if left unchecked. ( he hates cutting his nails)
Beffica - Sharp and thin claws that can easily slice through hard materials like metal. these claws can also be an annoyance if she wants to scratch her fur. these claws cannot retract.
Gramble - Small and round claws that may not look harmful but they are enough to break through the skin underneath the fur. these claws can be seen through Gramble's fur since he plucked his fur out due to stress.
Triffany - slightly curled Claws are actually the bones that can break out from underneath the tip of her paws. these claws will retract once the skin heals and it slightly hurts.
Wiggle - Very short claws that are only visible due to them being painted green. These claws are harmless and will not hurt any Grump.
Chandlo - Long Like claws that are like wambus but he actually cuts them down or trims them so he doesn't hurt Snorpy. these claws however are not retractable.
Snorpy - Broken Sharp claws from biting them off due to stress. these claws hurt to retract due to the sharp edges around them.
Cromdo - Thick and curly like claws that are used for gripping onto walls or surfaces he can reach. These claws are hard to break but hard to retract back in.
Shelda - Very thin and easy fragile claws. They take a while to retract and She allows them to grow healthy.
Floofty - Long and very sharp painted claws that can dig through someones entire body. Floofty usually scratches at the table when working on something and they cant retract these claws.
Eggabell - short pink painted claws that can lightly scratch a grumpus. these claws can be retracted and she keeps them trimmed everyday.
Lizbert - Damaged and sharp claws from all the adventures and hunting she would do. She has broken a few nails or more but she is proud of it because it shows all her hard work.
Clumby - Sharp, thin, and thick claws that are enough to dig through her desk and everytime she wants the journalist to pay attention she grabs her chalkboard and scratches it a lot. She does not retract them.
Bronica - She doesn't use her claws often but her claws can break out from her paws. though since her claws are longer and more sharper than dull. it makes her bleed a bit.
Alegander - He doesn't have time to cut his claws and they have grown all the way down to his sides along with his messy fur. somebody give this man nail clippers.
Hensel and Shelda
Hensel is worried about her starving, though he doesn’t really approach her for multiple reasons.
One is that she resides in the desert and he hates the heat.
The other and main reason he doesn’t confront her is that her yelling kinda scares him.
Shelda time!
Hensel may be scared of her, but Shelda just wants to be on good terms with him. Too bad her loud voice and raised arms spook the hell out of him, so he ends up skittering away from her whenever she talks, though they can sit together calmly.
Floofty and Shelda are about to scrap, and Floofty does NOT appreciate her looming over them like that, they will bite!
I swear my hand hates me, Shelda’s fur pattern is time consuming and I drew her FOUR times!
Some bugsnax content I made for pride month! a couple of these are canon, but a good majority of them are headcanons that I recieved suggestions for! I’ll leave a list of the different ones and what they mean in case there are flags here that some people don’t recognize Might also turn some of these into YCH things as well though so people can get some fun pridesnax stuff of their oc’s n’ the like

Unnecessarily long explanation on why I really like Shelda actually
HEAR ME OUT!! Feel free to disagree, but I really like Shelda, and I would like to lay out why i disagree when people often gloss over the finer details of her character due to dismissing her because of how she spoke and such. This is just a big list of apologetics because I see people talking about her with such disdain and I want to point some stuff out.
She's undeniably a fraud, but I think what's most important are her motivations, she says explicitly herself that she speaks as she does and preaches as much as she does to try 'inspire' the others, even if this is kind of silly she's trying to help, she fully believes that the bugsnax are harmful and dangerous and she thinks that presenting herself the way she does is the best way to help the others - ultimately she wants to save them.
And it's not entirely false? Whilst everybody else seems irritated by it Chandlo sees her as a source of wisdom and inspiration, even if her ultimate message about bugsnax doesn't actually work with him.
And then the other aspect of her character - not just is she a fraud, but she's a huge hypocrite. But hear me out again. I don't think you can blame her for eating bugsnax, at all. She survives off sauce (like both the journalist and Gramble as revealed by Eggabell in her second interview) and whilst this is possible it's stated to be bad for their health, Gramble manages this but noteably! Shelda is in her sixties and is implied to have several physical health problems, which the others are not and do not.
I think ANYBODY in this state of health would succumb a bit eventually, and from there I don't think you can blame her at all, as it's established that bugsnax alter the way you think, they make you crave them, they're incredibly addicting, that's the point. One very old woman succumbing against her morals ONCE is to be expected and there was no way for her to know how horribly addicting bugsnax are - none of them knew and they don't know until Liz tells the journalist.
