The '''Stump grump''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest IV}}.

It is a stronger variant of the [[Stump chump]] that has learnt how to use magic.

==Characteristics==
Stump grumps are the felled remains of [[Nature family|trees]] with green wood and purple leaves, brought to life by being infused with evil magic. They use their sorcery to put their foes to sleep and drain them of their magic with their peculiar dance moves. The stump grumps are nocturnal by nature and can be found dozing away at the base of trees during the day, only becoming active at nighttime.

The '''Tower of Transcendence''' is a tower dungeon in {{DQ3}}.

It is an optional dungeon located north of {{Alltrades Abbey 3}}. It contains a [[treasure chest]] holding the [[Words of Wisdom]] which is required for vocations other than the [[Gadabout]] to become a [[Sage]]. In the original {{NES}} version, this is the only location of the scroll.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The secret of the tower is found by falling off of one of the rope paths, which is accessed by climbing the stairs in the small room adjacent to the tower itself in the upper left corner of the map.

====Treasures====
*248 {{Gold}} ({{NES}} version)
*448 {{Gold}}
*[[Iron helmet]] ({{NES}} version)
*[[Mini medal]]
*[[Seed of wisdom]]
*[[Silver tiara]]

*[[Dread admiral]]
*[[Ethereal serpent]]
*[[Garuda]]
*[[Healslime]]
*[[Lump mage]]
*[[Ram raider]]
*[[Rumble bee]]
*[[Whackanape]]

==={{DQ3HD}}===
Matching {{Alltrades Abbey 3}}, the tower is now based on an Oriental temple and is stated to have been the training ground for a sect of [[Martial Artist]]s seeking enlightenment through the art of the fist. The resident [[List of recruitable monsters in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|friendly monster is a catula]] that will flee if the player isn't using [[Musk]].
